Jellyfish Jam of course.

What song is that?

My wife’s 2019 16" MPB is running pretty great. Probably got another 5 years of life left in it. She uses it to watch YouTube and play Sims 4.

My 2016 Acer Aspire V3-372T is hanging in there running Debian. 60 FPS YouTube videos are getting to be too much for it anymore. I may have to put the old girl to rest one of these days.

But hey, it does play Minetest pretty flawlessly.

Huh. I just Ctrl+P before the paywall comes up. Then I can print to a PDF and view it the way it was meant to be.

Don’t start shit you can’t finish, spider.

I hate to be the good time ruiner, but unlike -40, it’s not on the nose.

Still, really cool that it’s as close a conversion as it is.

Words like comeuppance and conniption? Bunghole? Squeegee? Hoedown? Poppycock?

English has words I’m sure English speakers find funny/ridiculous.

Living in tornado alley, having a TV antenna and a weather radio is almost a requirement. If the Internet gets knocked out, OTA still works. Also, my Internet is shit so I wouldn’t rely on it if a tornado is bearing down on my location, but I do also love watching 9½ hours of nonstop tornado coverage when nasty storms might come my way.

Outside of that, I know to tune in at about :15 past the hour during newscasts to catch the weather report, which gets uploaded to their website later anyway. If the football game is on, I might catch that if I care to watch. I don’t really watch OTA otherwise.

But I’m 32 lol

Drawings of Dogs

The artist has taken some liberties as to what constitutes a drawing of a dog.

Hate to break it to you, but nostalgia will probably make them cool. Nostalgia is the rosiest of tints.

Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It’s not that they’re the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they’re so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you’re not in contact with the ground, you’re slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.

And if that wasn’t enough, they meow and purr, too.

Undertale made me ugly cry, thanks Toby.

Male honey bees:

Anomalocaris means “weird shrimp” so I get the feeling the Cambrian freaks out the nerds sometimes, too.

The disappearance of defined benefit retirement plans is yet another way those on top are boning us, and it is NOT being talked about enough.

I have a '97 Honda Prelude Type SH. For the 5th generation, only about 60,000 USDM Preludes were made. The Type SH was more expensive. There was also no automatic option for the Type SH, and since manuals were already dying in the 90s, I’d guess that they didn’t even sell more than a few thousand of them.

It’s a little rough. One of these days, I’m gonna dump a few thousand bucks into it and make it beautiful. But we’re working on our house and some other things first. Someone put a bunch of those bluish LEDs all over the thing. I deconverted it back to soft white halogens.

I was walking my dog around the yard last night. We don’t have any lights in the backyard so I always go out with a flashlight. Pointing it at the ground, I could see them emerging by the dozens.

So anyway, the flashlight gets put up for a few weeks.

Fun fact: Neptune was discovered on 23 Sept 1846. It takes 164.8 Earth years for it to complete an orbit, which means that the first full Neptunian year since discovery happened 12 July 2011.

Pluto won’t do this for another 154 years.
