Okay, so this one from @soatok really hits home.

An interest in security is why I got into doing tech professionally, and "I care about the things that currently work continuing to work" is why I'm still here. It was talks by folks like Ollam, Hadnagy, et al. at DEFCON conferences that I snuck into my viewing rota while working split-shift clopens at a dead-end restaurant job that got me thinking about this shit.
And it was never because I cared about your buttcoin wallet getting leaked. It was the important shit. Telecom. Power. Sanitation systems.
He's an asshole for other reasons, but when Thunderf00t said that cholera was going to kill more people than rads after WW3, he wasn't wrong in principle. He was only wrong because it's not going to take WW3. It's going to take some skid from Belgovodkagrad with nothing better to use his state-of-the-art 14.4kbits dial-up connection throwing a bunch of "A"s at the right switch somewhere.
And nobody seems to give a shit.

Starting to think I should grow a few more edible plants this summer - I always grow tomatoes and loads of herbs, and will probably do more radishes. Will do a patio aubergine too.
What will do well within a flowerbed? Rainbow chard? Maybe long beans up a support? #gardening

@redbanjer It's not that I don't like them. I wore them when I worked in an office; now that I work at home I have no need to dress up or put effort into not freezing to death at my desk. 😀
And with my hair long as it is these days (it was very short, pre-WFH), wearing a shawl or scarf for any length of time causes a terrible snarl at the nape of my neck.
Oh, well I never wear shawls unless I'm out and about and want to look nice. If I'm home I just throw on a sweater. We just decide what works for us i guess. 😀
Was sorely tempted to buy a new graphics card just now. It would have stretched my finances for a while, but I'd been waiting for the new AMD Radeon 9000 series to come out and one turned up in stock that met my criteria.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), the internet made the decision for me, it was out of stock before I decided to push the button.
It's hard to say this, but science (& research more generally) is just being **stopped** in the US right now. This is just one university, losing nearly a billion dollars in project funding pretty much overnight. That's people's jobs, and the research that could save lives.

49-jähriger Autofahrer unter Alkohol- und Drogeneinfluss und ohne Führerschein unterwegs
"Er wurde von einer weiteren Polizeistreife wenige Meter weiter gestoppt und kontrolliert. Dabei bemerkte die Beamten deutlichen Alkoholgeruch im Atem des Mannes. Ein Alkoholtest ergab einen Wert von 0,56 Promille. Zudem zeigte er Anzeichen für Drogenkonsum. Ein Drogentest bestätigte den Eindruck und reagierte positiv auf Amphetamin. Im Zuge weiterer Überprüfungen wurde festgestellt, dass gegen den Mann derzeit ein Fahrverbot besteht. Zudem wurden in seiner Jacke ein Schlagring sowie ein Plastikpäckchen mit rund 3 Gramm Amphetamin gefunden."

I'm not sure what I expected with this ink. It's a lot pinker than I expected from something called "sepia". But it's a very nice multishading ink, along the lines of a darker and greyer Sailor Ink Studio 123.
