If it wasn't already abundantly clear, the current administration gives zero fucks about the judiciary.

The folks that host the toast.ooo instance have run an event like that for us the past two summers. Check out !canvas@toast.ooo to see last year's result, and watch for news about the next one.

This reminds me that I need to plan some art for the next event!

At work I usually need to have multiple windows up, so no one window spans the width of the display. It's often nice to have two documents side-by-side instead.

Tunde Adabimpe (from TV On the Radio) has a solo album coming out soon, and the pre-release singles are pretty good. They got me to go back and relisten to TV On the Radio's older albums. I forgot how much I liked that band.

 

Or are they all left-side drive?

Tbh, I copy-pasted this from a health website. As far as I know, dried and canned beans are comparable. The biggest difference is that canned beans usually have added salt, which a lot of us could probably do without.

Yes. About 75% of Google's revenue is from ads. Most (all?) of their free products exist to feed the advertising business in one way or another.

If you want to biodegrade, some places now have funeral service companies that will compost you into mulch. Your remains can safely fertilize your favorite garden, park, or forest.

Wrong community?

It's crazy to me that the feature sizes on chips are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. Chip designers have not been able to inspect their work under a regular microscope for decades.

I would rather find ways to encourage people to eat foods that are natural sources of magnesium. They provide lots of other dietary benefits beyond just magnesium.

  • Soy products (milk, flour, tofu)

  • Legumes and seeds

  • Nuts (almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts)

  • Peanuts and peanut butter

  • Whole grain breads and cereals (brown rice, millet)

  • Fruit (bananas, dried apricots, etc.)

  • Vegetables, particularly dark green, leafy vegetables (artichokes, chard, beet greens, avocados, etc.)

  • Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)

I swear it says „Barbaras Rhabarberbar" in there somewhere.

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are both "ISM bands." These are frequencies that regulators have set aside for unlicensed use.

Fun fact: 2.4 GHz is free to use because of microwave ovens. Microwaves are really noisy around 2.45 GHz. Rather than try to regulate their radio emissions, or make people license their kitchen appliances as radio transmitters, the FCC allocated that patch of spectrum for free use. Any device that can tolerate the noise can use that bit of the radio spectrum.

 
 

I am trying to cultivate a new community: !artp@sh.itjust.works. The name is lovingly stolen from a slogan of the 99% Invisible podcast: always read the plaque.

The community highlights informative signage: monuments, memorials, interpretive signs, and simple plaques. Some posts may be historically significant, others may be interesting novelties or touching memorials to good people who have passed. You never know what interesting thing has been left there, right out in the open for all of us to read.
