Cripes I hate #politics in the #US right now. There's no way to even say "yes I went to work in Boston yesterday" right now without having to follow up with "I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF DONALD TRUMP, NOT EVERY CONVERSATION HAS TO BE ABOUT HIM".... -

#q "They were men that had not learned the art of submission, nor had they been trained to the art of war. But our astonishing success taught the enemies of liberty that undisciplined freemen are superior to veteran slaves." -

The sun finally starts rising early enough to make it easy to get out of bed in the #morning, and they go and redefine #time so "morning" starts even earlier and has no #sunlight again.... #FUCKYOU #DST -

Dunno what I was dreaming about, or whether I was dreaming, or whether this counts as a #dream....
As I woke this morning, a phrase was `ringing' in my mind: "C. LATRANS".
Spent the rest of the journey to alertness trying to remember what a "c. latrans" was--"is that... a bacterium like `c. botulinum'? No.... What does it mean?"
Of course "canis latrans" is another #name for the #coyote.
What a strange experience.... -

As this guy says, "This new Iron Giant toy came out of nowhere in early 2020.… It's such a surprise, not just because of its sudden appearance, but the fact that it's only $20 at retail.": https://collectiondx.com/toy_review/iron_giant_Goldlok #irongiant #toy -

In other news, #REBOL still exists. I remember learning about it back in... 1998? The surprising thing is that it apparently survived all the way from 1997 to the end of 2012 without being #opensource. The whole idea of writing software in someone else's proprietary #language just sounds so... incredibly #offputting. -

Huh—apparently the #REBOL #programming #language went #opensource a few years ago: http://www.rebol.com/cgi-bin/blog.r?view=0519 -

@nymnotinservice Who would think that blocking dangerous websites could be dangerous! I just hope it wasn't their revenge! ???? -

It's kind of nice to have had a problem that was actually quick *and* easy to fix. I feel like I mostly graduated from the "quick and easy" space maybe a decade ago....
Though, having just had a #birthday, I guess I have to wonder how much of that is actually "the world getting more confusing" vs. "me slowing down".... -

Kind of a big relief—I was afraid I might have another failing RAM module on this machine (since "crashing #web-browsers was the main symptom of that last time) plus some other separate mystery I was going to need to debug WRT the filesystem-balloon.... -

Ever since my #upgrade to #Debian 10 / #buster, I've had problems with #Epiphany crashing and my home filesystem getting intermittently (and seemingly randomly) low on space. I think I just solved both problems by disabling the #Google Safe Browsing feature, "Try to block dangerous websites":
