Mythical man month energy

I was promised a robot arm.

That’s a healthy distrust.

I recently watched the bearing of a flushtrim router bit disassemble while routing 2" acrylic and I puckered so hard I could taste what color underpants I was wearing.

“Your sons’ war, fought with your grandfathers’ rifles.”

What really puzzles me are the folks who disingenuously argue the climate is changing, but that it’s not caused by human action. Because they admit there’s a problem, but crucially still want nothing done to address or remedy the problem.

Mind-boggling.

Yeah, it’s the independent source exemption to the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, basically. The original data collection wasn’t illegal, as it was collected by a third party rather than the government, and so is admissable.

The fediverse is not suited at the moment to fixed mindset types.

Personally, I find that refreshing. It reminds me of my earliest interactions with the Internet on BBS. The web for a long while has felt very consumerist; first curated spaces becoming walled gardens and then the subtle shift from web services as products to our attention & data as the Internet’s main product. We lost the magical sense of exploration and experimentation that made the early Internet so special. The fediverse is the first instance (pun half-intended) I’ve come across that speaks to that spirit.

Yeah, with vacancy rates being so low the rates flattening seems to be an indication that landlords have squeezed almost as much rent as tenants can bear.

If milk shot up to $15/g before flatlining I wouldn’t think that the cost would soon decrease, but rather that nobody would buy $16 milk.
