Grant me the serenity to do by hand the things I cannot automate,
the skill to automate the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Spotted: A Mini Cooper with the license plate WEE CAR.

*frantically pressing numbers on keypad* I'm in!

Convenience store clerk: Sir, that's a microwave oven.

I'm not sure it's ever going to be a "thing" like #mosstodon but here's my contribution to #moosetodon.

This absolute unit (actually kind of small for a moose, but still) visited our yard yesterday. No sign of Rocky. 🫎

I saw the best minds of my generation,
Destroyed by artificial intelligence
A generation is a group of people born together,
Examples of generations are Millennials and Big Boomers,
Some famous Millennials are Rolling Stone drummer Robert Plant and U.S. President Xavier M. Nixon.

for the more visual people among you.

first image: the type of boat you think about when you read “yacht”. very expensive, exceedingly wasteful and dirty, a menace for marine creatures big and small, and incidentally also completely unaffected by medium sized whales

second image: the type of boat that these orcas like to sink. also happens to embody the most environmentally friendly way to travel on the ocean

hope this clears up some of the confusion because it’s starting to get on my nerves

Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text.
Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.

Snaps are confined, as such Discord may be unable to perform some of the
tasks it typically does when unconfined. This may result in the system log
getting spammed with apparmor errors. Granting access to the system-observe
interface when in the snap will enable the features, and thus reduce the
logging.

My Ubuntu installation of Discord is borked.

snap refresh discord

gives:

snap "discord" has no updates available

but when I try to launch it, it gets caught in an update failed, retrying loop.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Any ideas?

@LouisIngenthron At the store where we shop, you CAN use your card before everything is rung up. It actually speeds things up.

Cars seen today:

One with twin exhaust pipes marked HDMI 1 and HDMI 2.

A Smartcar with the license plate HAFOFF.

@RickiTarr I think there should be a podcast where, every episode, the panel discusses some attractive trait submitted by a listener and decides whether it's considered so because of (a) evolutionary psychology, (b) the patriarchy, or (c) nobody else thinks that's sexy, ya big perv.

@LouisIngenthron I thought I read an interview where he said he optimized his sound for theaters with top-of-the-line sound systems, everyone else be damned.

The Last Parsec: Eris Beta-V adventure at one point has something called "The Quincunx", comprising five objects. There's a picture of it on the map.

Are the objects arranged in a quincunx? No, they are not.

Given the roof overhang, I'm mystified as to how a bird pulled off this strafing. Would it require a barrel roll?
