Turn to the bible. It has the answers you seek. Ezekiel 23:20.

It's one of the easiest high-energy reactions to prepare, contains only very stable powdered iron and aluminum (though you can add other things as buffers to slow the reaction, such as boron or carbon) and it can only be kicked off by VERY intense heat, like from burning magnesium or the burning titanium powder in a sparkler. Thermite can be shipped through the mail with no special considerations. Were you thinking of something else?

Mechanical keyboard users are synth lovers that don't realize it yet. Want to spend a lot of money on a niche interfacing device with tons knobs, buttons and faders that other people will look at, and then say "Oh cool I guess," but will have you simultaneously praised and ridiculed on the internet for your choice? That's synths baby!

Solar Opposites did it very well when they jettisoned Justin Roiland. His character gets hit in the throat with a dart and then zapped with an uncalibrated voice repair ray. His partner thinks the new (and suddenly English-accented) voice is sexy so they don't bother changing it.

Also, new Korvo is way better the than slightly-altered Rick that Roiland was crapping out.

But... PR is part of the US and is a wonderful place full of kind people. I spent one of the best vacations of my life there going all the way around the island (and Culebra!) and it was nothing but gorgeous views, great food, friendly people (it does help to speak Spanish so you understand how friendly they are) and relaxing days.

And that was when the country was getting rocked by earthquakes and had recently been battered by a few climate-change monster hurricanes. Screw people who hate on PR, that place rocks and is more resilient than your average conservative commentator.

The AI ecosystem is flooded, we need a good bubble pop to slow down the massive waste of resources that our current info-remix-based-on-what-you-will-likely-react-positively-to shit-tier AI represents.

IT professionals are more the folks that install and maintain large scale computer systems and networks, like a company's IT department or MSP. Programming is closer to engineering. Software engineering.

Get towed or grab a generator and get ready to wait. Or get a plug-in hybrid for the best of both worlds.

Ranked choice baybeeee!

 

I got hurt kinda badly on the job a few weeks back and so far the process has been agonizing between a RN that didn't believe I was in pain, an employer that seems to be laying groundwork for firing me a and a worker's comp insurance company that is more than a little loose with the timing of their payments. The whole thing has me pretty anxious, unable to do most things I enjoy and in a whole boatload of pain.

Anyone had an experience with an on-the-job injury? How'd it go? Any tales of full healing and victory over disability to brighten my outlook?

 

I found this little fella (as well as a number of his friends) outside. It's cold and wet, so I brought them in where they can get warm and dry out. Remember folks, if you're cold they're cold.
