Postdocs, here's an idea for your next grant topic. Do groups of gulls have food trends?

"Ugh, fast food french fries are so 2022. We're all doing kettle chips now." - Trendy Gull.

I don't think I can answer since equating to a font would indicate of consistency or repeatability that doesn't exist.

I'm in my 40's and I still can't decide if I prefer writing a 7 with the crossbar though it of not. Of if I should draw a 4 like a triangle on a stick or a poorly made box.

Not that I'm aware of, but it would be nice.

Yeah, that's exactly what went threw my head when I saw the post.

TIL that finishing a shaped metal sheet by pounding it on a pedestal is called "planishing" and said pedestal is called a "planishing stake." I've seen it done I just never thought to ask what it was called, I guess.

By the 23rd it's officially spelled "bewbs."

I just saw my future.

One day (hopefully decades from now) I'll be browsing whatever the internet has become and I'll see this image with that bottom line crossed out. And that's how I'll learn he died.

I have a locally hosted invidious instance but increasingly I'm finding most of the creators I watch are on Nebula. I just recently discovered that Rifftrax has a presence there.

Satisfactory recently took over my free time. ALL of it.

Otherwise I have coding projects, CAD/printing projects, electronics projects, D&D session planning, and (of course) Lemmy/Mastodon.

 

I'll go ahead continue today's trend of awesome orange kitties.

Our Laszlo (aka Zozo) likes to show up early in my work day so he can watch all the little faces during my morning meetings while using my wrist as a pillow. Then we turn on some youtube cat tv if he sticks around after meetings are over.

 

Ok this is more disappointing than infuriating, but I've been voting for 26 years and just once I want the state or county to give me a frickin' sticker.

 

Johnston... previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July 2024.

The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity. He is alleged to have led a group to the “front line of rioters confronting the police who were defending the entrance” to the Capitol, helping to launch an assault against a group of officers.

 

US Copyright Office granted an exemption allowing third parties to diagnose and repair commercial equipment — including the ones that make your McFlurries.

The decision is part of the Copyright Office’s final rule granting exemptions to Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This exemption-making process happens every three years and is supposed to ensure that the DMCA doesn’t negatively impact people trying to use copyrighted material.

Worth nothing that DMCA exceptions are reviewed on the same 3 year cycle and are frequently revoked. So if you're a McD ice cream fan, enjoy it while you can.

I know we've already done Mot's apple sauce, but I pictured the Mott's Apple Cannibal as Mot. Now you all have to see it too.

Does anyone know where I can buy 3 to 5 pair of normal looking human hand (or finger) gloves within the next week or so?

I finally thought of an idea for a Halloween Zoom-based costume contest to go as an AI generated person, and one of the key ingredients of it is WAY too many fingers. But as I've searched for non-monster looking latex costume gloves and I'm coming up empty. I assumed I have lots of options but that none would fit my XL sized hands. But instead I just find zombie, ape, alien, or skeleton. Some of the 4 finger alien gloves could work, but its not quite what I'm going for.

Update: Thanks all. Between magic trick thumbs, dismembered prop hands, and tiny novelty hands I should have what I need to put my costume together!
Update 2: I just placed an order for 14 hands and 10 thumbs. I love Halloween.

 
 

Thought about posting this to lemmybewholesome, but thought it might not fit everyone's definition.

Some North Carolina cities were forecasted to receive 10 times their monthly rainfall amount.

The emergency flash flood warning issued by the NWS says that at least 3,000 people are at risk of emergency flooding downstream of the Broad River and Lake Lure Dam

This is in additional to the flash flood warnings happening all over the state.

 

Thanks to Costco fueled bulk buying, between the last time I bought deodorant and this week, my deodorant changed from the Scent of Adventure to the Scent of Cypress.

So is Cypress the sum total of adventure or an overdue respite?
