@marathon0 then we got more ascii porn off usenet. That was destroyed when AOL got on. :(

@mtomczak We start it from seed every year. This was a bumper brocc year. Never been so good, or so much.

End of my broccoli. It was producing until now.

@marathon0 No, Compuserve was the first in the office. We got ascii porn off that.

@marathon0 That comes from experience with all social networks since 1980. As soon as I join, it dies. :)

My daily blogging has transferred to here, for now. I do the larger articles on my blog because I can get more than 2 images. I give Mastodon till Christmas to live. :)

@radehi Neat, you sound like me.

Earthquakes are my main love, but nothing has really happened over the last 20 years. I'm more interested in mechanisms and effects on structures. This was a common earthquake for the area.

@EviVin I use fountain pumps to circulate a solution from the sump on the bottom. Those lights are getting quite cheap.

#humor I just wonder if this is a passing fad.

#mondog Just got the Christmas decors out with last year's dog hair all over it.

@petrikursula Wait! There's a #mondog ?

@mistakenotmy Which leads me to the conclusion: If anybody makes money off it, it won't work. If nobody makes money off it, it won't work. :)

@InvincibleMoose 'vocabulary' is too big a word. :)

@zazu That makes me so much want to give up retirement and go back to work. 😩
