I have an unopened soft drink can sitting in a fairly cold part of my home, and at night it's now cold enough to reduce the pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the can to almost exactly atmospheric pressure. Each time the heat cycled on or off, it caused a metallic ping as the slightly domed lid inverted to equalize the pressure.

Wasn't until this morning that I figured out where that noise was coming from.

Just upgraded multiple nodes on my home network to the new @OpenWrt version... and nothing broke. I did my homework and tried to avoid known pitfalls, sure - but that never happens. It feels like the laws of nature are suspended today.

@realcaseyrollins hope you've been well! In case you are still interested: Canada's four university football conference championships will be held today, with the winners to play in a single elimination tournament over the following two weeks for the Vanier Cup.

… and it’s in the books! The season is now archived but I can make corrections if necessary; just let me know if you see any errors. #CFL #CFLoM

The #CFL season is updated at Sports Club Stats. There’s still a week to go, but the remaining games can’t affect the teams’ finishing order at this point. As always, please let me know if I entered anything wrong.

The streak continues into year 18! #TogetherWeRide #YeMenOfCalgary #CFL #CFLoM #CalgaryStampeders

Today Firefox has started having a weird cursor-displacement issue, wondering if anyone can shed some light on it.

Whenever I open a popup menu, the arrow stays where I left it, but the cursor coordinates (i.e. what option gets highlighted and what registers a click) reset to the top left corner. So if I right-click and slide the arrow onto the menu, I'm actually clicking on things like my back and refresh buttons (the same distance down and to the right of the top left corner as the arrow is from the point where I right-clicked to open the menu). For nested submenus (e.g. folders in the Bookmarks menu) the process repeats for every level of popup. However, this only applies to the browser chrome; links on the webpage highlight according to the actual position of the arrow.

The problem doesn't occur until some time (maybe ten minutes to half an hour, I haven't really measured) after browser startup, and resets when I open a new window - temporarily fixing the problem in the original window, too.

I'm flummoxed; search turned up a lot of stuff about people who accidentally turn on caret browsing, but that doesn't really seem to explain these symptoms. Browser version is 64-bit 117.0.1 on Arch. Any suggestions appreciated!
