I've been using #Manyverse ( #SSB software client ) on #iOS and #Android a little over the past couple of months. The only way to 'meet' people and make contacts is to join a pub. Copying a 'pub' invite and pasting it into the client is not easy. It took several tries on the Apple iPad, and was only possible by learning to trick the text selection function. On Android, there ar…

I'm not very conversational there. I pretty much just read others' posts. I rarely respond or post.
#SSB seems to be a "refrigerator magnet" type of place.
Let me explain that term. When #GD2 sends me some of her artwork, I stick one piece up on the fridge (using a magnet). That's "Look at what [my granddaughter] drew / colored / painted for me". So "refrigerator magnet" is hey, look at what I did.

89F / 32 C outside; 84F / 28C inside. Feeling really sleepy.
Caught one more tomato hornworm and one of another (smaller) caterpillar munching down on my garden. Both caught and fed to the ants.

Is {MeteoAlarm}:{http://www.meteoalarm.eu/} usually this slow? I haven’t visited the site in a long time, but ISTR it took >5 minutes to load last time, just as it did today. #meteoalarm #weather

Logging into the $EMPLOYER laptop to download updates, check e-mail, view some more course videos ( #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning courses on #PHP and #PowerShell ) ... Not sure what it is doing right now, but it is slower than a senior citizen with a walker.

Oh, looks like it is doing an anti-virus / anti-malware scan. It may be pegged for quite a while.

"We saw the 'new' (2016) Independence Day and discovered there is a *third* Hemsworth." @clacke@libranet.de https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-175e-fb9a-5a56-9be107080758
This was the sequel, and not a remake, correct? Either way, I haven't seen it, but I did take #sonTwo to see the first one (I don't think we saw it *on* Independence Day, but it was close afterward.
-
Also, I'm not aware of who Hemsworth is (too lazy to throw the name into a search engine).
-
@clacke@libranet.de Ah, thanks. I've never seen any of those.

"Food must not be of the fast food, chips with everything type […] The band have a preference for traditional style cooking". The #Pogues: the most middle class, politically correct [post-]punk band ever (in an admittedly crowded field). https://boingboing.net/2020/06/26/check-out-the-pogues-tour-ri.html

Also underscores, in his last year before being sacked, the pressure Shane was under and the unwanted responsibility he was burdened with. Remarkably little money per gig for eight band members and six crew touring year round with few breaks, and the expectation that he could carry on effortlessly producing works of genius indefinitely and get up night after night to maintain…

The Never-ending Festival of Loud Bland Music continues here at the #Aloha, as F-bomb Freddy tries to provoke a reaction. He's right, you know. Somebody here is trying to get him evicted. He's trying very hard indeed.

#Coronavirus: Fauci warns of 100K US cases per day https://www.bbc.co.uk/world-us-canada-53237824
Currently over 40K new #COVID-19 cases per day and increasing rapidly.
This isn’t the 2nd wave, either. This is a “flattened” and stretched out first wave of #2019-nCoV infections.

"why does all hand sanitizer now smell of fucking everclear god it's fucking awful" -- @amic http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21468 I suspect that the old formulas used isopropyl alcohol, but the new formulas may use ethyl alcohol, the same ingredient that is in beer / wine / vodka. If you'll notice, nearly every package is some previously unknown brand. As I said, this is al…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun [wikipedia]
The Setun was a [trinary] computer developed in 1958 at Moscow State University.
I suppose this was the one my high school algebra teacher (who had worked for the US space program as a mathematician) told us about. He described it as way ahead of any of the binary computers that were being developed in the US at the time.

Headache moderated quite a bit after I drank a chilled coffee drink (Starbucks bottled something or other) and took an ibuprofen. I still need to go to bed soon, but at least I'm not near vomiting. (Given the rapid intensification, that was on the way.)
-
Two more tomato hornworms found. The most recent one was being attacked by a large fly, which is why I saw it.
-
There were three more after I posted. Found two of them because that fly kept coming back trying to land on (and bite? lay eggs on?) the caterpillars.
A different kind of fly was buzzing around my shoe, so I stepped on it ... close enough to the anthill that the ants quickly came and gathered yet another meal.

#Aloha update: F-bomb Freddy has resurfaced after a couple of days sleeping it off. After a few tentative f***s and c***s from 9am, he's now cranked up the stereo. He's spoiling for a fight. Terrific.
-
@tregeagle This one's all gob. My worry is that to make his threats credible he has to occasionally execute one or two.
-
@tregeagle Exactly. His chronic insecurity is (partly) assuaged by keeping everybody around him fearful. His profanity-laced invective (or perhaps invective-laced profanity) on Saturday contained some curiously archaic-sounding expressions. Did he learn them from Daddy, I wonder? #Aloha
