Last Notes npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy Here's the onversation with Cindy Cohn of @nprofile…eexk mentioned in the above podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy Heads up that this link in the blog post is throwing a 404 error. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy Sorry, a reference here is eluding me: can you unpack "(brackets derogatory)", please? I infer it's conceptually related to "scare quotes," but that's as far as I'm getting? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd https://www.youtube.com/shorts/C3iitzCI3RA #USpol #DrGlaucomflecken #SenatorElizabethWarren npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…8mfv "after 7 days" isn't "instantly".... & also: why would I believe them? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…l70y We've received a lot of advice to relentlessly contact our electeds... but I haven't seen anybody raising the notion of contacting our •media•, & I wonder if that would be a fruitful avenue for pressure? @nprofile…6w7d #USpol #Trump #StephenMiller #KristiNoem #DHS #ICE #cruelty #immigrants #media npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…3wdr I would say more than sometimes, even. A hard discipline to master, when one is raised perfectionist. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…52nc @nprofile…mr0f @nprofile…ypnd Psst! For those of us not clued-in, que "beige" vibe? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…l70y No, but the Pope sure has. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…l70y Then they should excommunicate the m'f'er. Impossible to take this statement seriously, otherwise. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…998y It looks like it probably has a case? How much does it weigh? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Not a typo on your part but a, er, "reado" on my part? LOL Heh. It occurs to me that one could spin up a whole sermon on the "bring in an add'l shepherd" notion. One could touch on emergency (nobody else available •right now•), emergency precaution ("Always go out with a buddy"), privilege (yes, having an add'l shepherd available would be •great•—if we had the extra staffing")—all sorts of variants. 🤔 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Oh, "lost lamB." Okay, that makes much more sense than what I read, which was "lost lamP" 😂 🤦 Astigmatism FTW...or something.... oy vey LOL So it appears the library & the gaming group lead did the smart thing and...brought in an additional shepherd! The other nice thing about the way this is being handled is that it gives them a template for if similar issues arise in the future. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Not familiar with "lost lamp problem" expression? Yes, the library, by all acounts, totally rocks in their response to this. Report on the latest session: a dozen or so participants hand a lovely time at the common table. Problematic Guy spent his evening with playing with the librarian at a table alone. PG's behavior is apparently showing improvement, but is still not attracting voluntary social companionship. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Heh. Well, credit for an accurate interpretation of the response! Some of them do eventually turn out to be educable. I have a friend who's dealing with one of these in his library gaming group. Fortunately, library staff have stepped in to help "educate" the unfortunate soul, leaving the rest of the participants to enjoy their activity. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx And how did frat bro respond to this non-response? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd This is one of those ideas that's obvious once you hear it said out loud, but—I needed to hear it? I've been putting extra effort into allowing myself to drop low-priority balls this week.... (& fighting overwhelm even so....) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zuQlvWMD9jw #Autism #Burnout #burnoutcBurnout npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…998y I really like the application of the concept of "metabolizing" in this context. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…t9fa It sounds like you're referencing the Chinese version? I'm watching the Netflix version which has only one season so far. (I started the Chinese version when it was on YouTube a while back, but was having trouble tracking the story, so let it go by.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…t9fa I got bored with it after season 2, I think? I might have watched season 3, I can't remember. Which speaks volumes.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Honestly, the crotch. That was my first thought.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx My brother once asked me, with an absolutely straight face, if there was any possibility that menstrual pain was all in my head. I was so gobsmacked, I didn't have the presence of mind to demonstrate just how fucking "imaginary" it is.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…lx0q @nprofile…uyql How does "direct touch typing" differ from "touch typing" in this context? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd The true purpose of Notifications is to allow you to notice the typos in that post you didn't proof-read before hitting "Send".... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…cpc2 @nprofile…7ppx I was rather startled to discover that covid lockdown is my native habitat. Which is very weird, bc I'm actually an extrovert. But just not having to deal with peoples' petty stupidities & irritants all day.... Did a day in the office last month bc my boss wanted to collaborate on something. I did •not• crush their constantly beeping phone with a rock. Nor stab them with the knife they were sawing their apple apart with.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…370p wut This somehow seems like it shouldn't be possible.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…tzh3 Okay but now I seriously want some Eurasian jaybird feathers. Those are very cool. (I have a thing for feathers.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So is #DoctorWho New Who streaming anywhere in the US right now? It appears to have left HBO. I found one source that seems to think Disney+ has it, but that only seems to have Ncuti Gatwa's seasons. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…args To the best of my understanding, if it's a vegetable that comes from the grocery store, it's either a nightshade or a brassica. Hope this helps. 😁 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…t2zk It is a force of nature. It cannot be resisted. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…t2zk *snicker* I love your optimism! npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…gffv The sigularity is a lovely idea—until you remember all the real-world sourcing & maintenance those servers & their power infra are going to require. Biggest insight I see the the singulatarians missing is that Evolution has already •done• all that. Biology is what it came up with. (Some of which processes apparently approach 100% efficiency. Good luck reproducing that.) I don't see the computing equivalent happening anytime soon. (Ever?) Tl;dr: bodies is what you're trying to make. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…rh2x At least those mostly work as intended...? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…rh2x @nprofile…vvjp I am!

My favorite formulation of this notion: "If it doesn't work, do it harder." npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd My explanation: https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/115/007/529/942/851/827/original/a91071a3beceb753.png npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…qz4x Okay, wow, that title illo tells a •story• 😬 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…qz4x This one is my personal nightmare. I've been in a few situations where I've been required to sustain attention to check for a low-incidence error embedded in a body of work &—I can sustain it for four or five seconds before my attention drifts. The •only• way I've ever managed that class of task is to come up with hacks that make the whole thing more interesting. If they want my straight attention, it's a pretty much automatic fail. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Building a News Community with Jim Acosta & Heather Cox Richardson > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgp0gnXKOKA #USpol #HeatherCoxRichardson #JimAcosta npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…5cma If you haven't already, go find the YouTube channel; there are a bunch of these videos. My favorites are the ones where Turtle rolls up to Cat, & then sits & stares up at Cat's face like, "Pleeeeese be my friend!" npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…0j4z Oh! I hadn't thought of that, thank you! This is why I leave my landline unplugged most of the time, but I haven't figured out a good solution for the cell. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So what's the deal with: the phone rings, you pick up (bc why tf not?) and... ... ...there's nobody there...? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…awpz @nprofile…qz4x Reading this article now. "Housefresh released its latest report on Google's enshittification, this time with an emphasis on the "AI Overviews" that now surmount every search results page." It also strikes me that that AI overview is also likely an attempt to supplant Wikipedia's place in the digital landscape, since that's the actually-somewhat-reliable thing that would come up in that position otherwise. Which I'm sure Google would be •just fine• with.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…gk57 @nprofile…0dp3 I also recognize that living alone offers some advantages that others in active families or with roommates don't have. I could totally see reaching a point where "Fukkit. The only way this is going to work is if I always mask •at home• as well as everywhere else &, well. Fukkit." A friend's second infection resulted from their kid being insufficiently dilligent about masking at college. Had it been my household, I suspect a murder would have resulted. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…0dp3 @nprofile…gk57 I've heard of this happening a lot after people's first infection, leading me to suspect some sort of toxoplasmosis-like effect on the caution centers in people's brains. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…cxhh @nprofile…gk57 I lost a friend a little over a year ago from a sudden onset leukemia. They didn't •say• it was connected to the covid he had a month before his diagnosis, but the timing seems really suspicious to me....

Asked about a slight knock it had developed. Them: "No clue. Send us a picture with the serial number, & showing the power cord cut off at less than 1" from the base, & we'll refund." Me: oh FUCK right off AYFKM? I managed to solve the knock without their help.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So, okay, so I have a set of different #Linux to try to pick one to install on my computer.

My Mac is starting to show its age, and at this point, I'm pretty much Done with Corporate Computing. I'm pondering the option of going Open Source, Linux OS, Libre Office, Krita, &c. But I also know from 40 (😱) years in The Biz that learning new computer systems comes with many tears.

The only similar functionality with a straight CC transaction requires cancelling the card.

But it fails when I click "submit" bc apparently there's no way to create the php file? #php #codepen npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…jjf7 @nprofile…92y4 That would be very handy, & allow reduced use of the Subaru.

I've found the w3schools tutorial on if statements & even nested if statements, but what I'm trying to do is if "classification" is "value" then variableA="fred" & variableB="mary" But it just keeps coming up with the last of the 7 possible classifications in the radio button list, so clearly I've got the nexting borked somehow. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd I'm trying to set up a #PHP form, and I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that I just don't know how to brain anymore.

Which: no. If I wanted to upgrade, I would. 😠 I'm not finding any settings where I can make those stop.
