Nah, he told me he’s me and to not worry about it. Why wouldn’t I trust myself?

From a religion maintenance POV it makes total sense. From a “god is omniscient and infallible” standpoint, it makes my head hurt.

Mathew 18:18 is the circuit breaker for those situations: whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven

AKA when in doubt, god defers to the Pope for some reason.

One of the best things on 80’s TV.

I don’t know if today’s stuff holds water, by comparison.

When I was a kid it was <10 minutes of ads per hour on TV and (I think) 12 minutes per hour on radio, roadside billboards were illegal in my county, and the local newspaper ads were mostly relegated to the back page and sunday inserts.

There were also no blatant ads pre-roll at movie theaters and productions got bad press for having product placement.

A discussion yesterday about netflix shows dropping 50% of their audience between season 1 and 2 was talking about this. Shows used to run 9 months and have 22 - 26 shows in that time. Then there’d be a 3 month hiatus before you got another 22+ episodes. A streaming show would take 7 season to get to 50 episodes, and with a year or more between 8 episode chunks it’d take 15 years to get there.

I don’t miss filler episodes or saving the budget for sweeps, but I miss shows I love constantly producing new content.

But what about the matter stream?

I got diagnosed later in life and I spent a while thereafter realizing things about people I grew up with. Like my band teacher who spent his free time trying to master big band era jazz trombone and was the biggest railfan I’ve ever known.

Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI’s demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don’t make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.

It’s the day after important provisions were struck out of the Declaration of Independence by committee.

My experience with Netflix shows tends to go like this: I hear about a new show from people at work (or maybe here). I watch and enjoy season 1. I never hear about the show again until someone mentions that there sad it was cancelled after additional seasons I never heard about.

Personally, I find it hard to watch things when I don’t know they exist.

Most recently, the EESI, but The Guardian started reporting on it last year.

The majority are low volatility and stay in the plumping, and a certain amount of the water that goes through the evaporators (a little under a tenth generally, I think) is flushed through (usually into the local water treatment system) with as a more concentrated solution. Some PFAS are volatile enough to ride the water vapor up and eventually fallout again.

Edit: I forgot, some types still legal in the US are volatile enough to not fallout, and instead become strong greenhouse gases.

The water used in datacenter cooling has PFAS added to prevent corrosion.

And all of it will be laced with PFAS forever.

Your pizza party has 6.2 minutes remaining, continue merriment for the prescribed time.
