Now with RSS (but no QA on the RSS), archive pages (but no main archive page), permalinks (in a way that will break when I delete a post), etc.

@jonty I’m choosing to interpret the arrows as being in the YouTube thumbnail visual language. I DIDN’T EXPECT THIS about RAIN!

@Rycaut It might be interesting rabbit material. They probably do it because a lot of people enjoyed their rabbit stories. But if nothing else, thinking you’re only appreciated as The Rabbit Person is pretty sad.

@Rycaut Yes. As if you went to the café or the pub and there were someone who considered themselves your friend but only ever talked about rabbits.

@jenlowe Apologies if I’m misremembering, but were you looking at ham radio recently? If so, I would appreciate any tips on good resources that don’t have That Kind of Politics.

You know when someone says something like “My therapist let me know a really interesting trick:” and then they say something that’s an obvious solution to a problem you cannot imagine having? You’ve seen a little too deeply into their worldview? This is how a lot of year-end lists come across.

Friends fear he’s e-mailing geophysics grad students about their YouTube videos again.

@aredridel Insofar as there are plans, sure.

@llimllib Right now it’s a single hand-coded page with literally no backend, so I’ll take that under advisement.

Experimenting with finally having that linkblog: https://t10a.link/

@sgillies Parsing this as: four (wick scented) candles.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate, Safeway twenty minutes before closing on Christmas Eve, etc.

@geravitywave Is it canon that Earth’s rotation is still prograde? Thinking of https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/9/1191/2018/

The Pleiades, Antarctica, in synthetic aperture radar (from the Umbra open data collection).

@d RIP James Gandolfini.

@aredridel Totally – this isn’t even getting to the ways different plastics have wildly different impacts.

Maybe 90% of the plastic stuff I own would be at least as good if it were wood – maybe in a processed form like paper or cardboard – or even the cheapest possible metal. Tinplate and cast iron.

The last 10% (or whatever) is trickier to replace, but that’s a much smaller problem.

We’re getting the benefits of a society that uses plastic in a few key places, but the problems of a society that uses way too much plastic. Surely we can figure this out.
