downloaded the old warner cartoons and cut the cord.

sounds like the Primetime movie. good film. surely has little to do with real life.

he means CA home values are re-assessed at purchase not annually like most other places. so your new neighbor is paying a lot more in property tax than the people that have been on the block 20 years.

the basic premise of wilderness classes is 'there is no 911, no one is coming for you' so the mentality is different. trying to stabilize the victim first and then to determine is they can self evacuate or you need to send out a rescue runner.

the leaf is the cheap shitbox this country needs!

and now we have sharepoint.

I grabbed an old Obon festival flyer from 2014 and told chatgtp to:

"look at this image and give me variants in the style of classical japanese artists and graphics designers (be sure to include hokusai and Ikko Tanaka). be sure to tell me about each style. upscale and include the original with some designer words that are plausible"

at least two of these don't look like AI to me and are perhaps better than the original. but a non-designer is likely to pick the more busy ones.

I still miss Groove.

Berkshire HQ has exactly 27 people. so I think those comments about culture are spot on. but the issue of "what would walt/steve/warren do?" will eventually bite you in the ass.

so I have to get a mac from mainland china to opt out? #Weird

works fine in the rain. source: oregon coast.

yep. super good. I've recommended it a ton.

the one on Trader Joe's is also excellent.

sure have and I will take a maul over an axe. an axe is for felling not splitting. generally prefer a wedge and a sledge for splitting. gotta say some of the little electric splitters look sweet.

have you ever had to split wood?

ambient information radiator. I like that term and have always been interested in it. for a while we had a system monitoring connected to a speaker that produced fairly consistent tonal patterns. when it started sounding 'weird' it usually meant something was off.

when visiting the jewish temple in rome someone asked if the roman jews were sephardic or ashkenazi. the answer was 'neither' as there have been jews in rome since before rome and they never left and didn't see themselves as part of the diaspora

reminds of a prank we pulled on a coworker back in the xterminal days. every time he hit a certain key it would invoke the 'melt' screensaver briefly. he was fairly unobservant though and we had to escalate to invoking it for 1s every minute before he finally noticed.

the follow on prank was having all the xterminals 'moo' whenever new code was deployed to prod.
