It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to β€œwhat would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and β€œwhat would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and β€œwhat would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

As an English speaker of the American variety... *sigh* those two feckless cunts.

I have seen a sliced cheese dispenser, but not one that is mechanized. Bonus points if someone integrated a digital camera and a Flash to stun and record anyone who tries to get a slice.

Yeah, the early LCDs were so washed out, even if they were in color.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of my first portable Sega Genesis. I used my father's mini TV and some NiCD cells to build a setup where I could play Sega on long car trips. That setup was a little easier as that unit had a 3.5mm AV input jack.

It's funny that they named it E. F., you know, like Epstein Files. Because it's the distraction from them.

My first science video in 3 years
My first science video in 3 years YouTube video by Physics Girl

For those of you who haven't noticed, @thephysicsgirl.bsky.social just posted her first physics video since contracting a nearly fatal case of Long COVID several years ago. It's great to see how much she's improved, and I really look forward to seeing her get back into making more science content.

I have a craving for, of all things, a SALAD BAR. I miss the pre-covid reality of buffet food. Gimme a 1980's Sizzler with all you can eat Shrimp and Salad Bar. 10-year old me would make a "salad" of everything but the lettuce, drenched in blue cheese dressing and fake bacon bits.

You have too much faith in "stable". Being careful about which sites you visit is something you tell your parents. Bots are out there scanning for nodes to infect, and they don't need your browser.

Of course you can completely remove the mechanism that provides bugfixes and critical updates. You can also go back to using Windows 7. It's not a great idea.
