If I had known in 2008 what today would end up being, my wife and I would have picked a different day to get married.
(We actually tried to have our wedding on 6/7/8, but apparently everyone else had that idea too.)
Happy 250th Birthday, US Army.
Happy 17th Anniversary, Wife.
GFYS, Don.
Why is it that when I tell tech boys I use #Linux they get all weirdly confrontational sometimes? Like, I usually share bc someone wants me to try a game or they're asking what I think about [shitty Windows privacy ick] and I have to say I don't Windows.
"Oh so you use a Mac?"
"Uh no I have Linux."
"REALLY what DISTRO"
"Pop? It looks like my old macbook and I like it."
"Oh well you SHOULD be using..."
I mean cool, you should be washing ur shirt after wearing it like 6 times this week but I'm not up in ur face judging your habits.
Weird, I thought it was the Linux people annoying everyone by evangelizing it 😅
Good to see someone who cares about privacy, though! This is the way.

I suspect the case for repurposing waste oil is stronger, tho' it will depend on how much processing it takes.
But growing maize to ferment and distill just to blend into road fuels? Crazy.

I use #Mastodon lists for mental health - to limit exposure to BS.
Mine include:
▪ +++ (folks whose posts I really appreciate - read daily)
▪ lists for specific dear friends (so I never miss their posts)
▪ #printmaking hashtag list (read daily ❤)
▪ Toronto (kindred spirits who live where I do)
▪ coaches (folks thinking about my professional interests)
▪ @GottaLaff (my go-to for concise, progressive US news alerts - I only check it weekly now)
I'm especially enjoying my Canada list today

IAEA detects radioactive contamination inside Iranian nuclear facility after Israeli strike.
Radiation levels outside the Natanz site remain unchanged. The contamination — mainly alpha particles — is manageable with proper protective measures, the agency said.

June 14. A few months after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation.
This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.
Hi Stu,
Yeah it is really simple to install, setup and maintain. It's also very light on resources.

In tears.
Got an email from a friend who serves in our state legislature and lives in my tiny hometown of Mt. Tabor, #Vermont. He was eager to tell me that not only were they on for a #NoKings event here at 10:00am, but that 32 people had registered. It’s 2 minutes away.
The population of Mt. Tabor is a whopping 210.
We are on the Long/Appalachian Trail. Apparently at least eight parties of hikers are going to come down the mountain to join in. They had dreamed that would happen. So #proud.
YES! And here are TWO links--you can watch the no kings events here, starting 1:00 (thanks to @AkaSci for posting these links)

Update. Mom/Bev called an audible/a retreat when I started to stumble on the third step downstairs, you were right to caution a Bear. I’m paying for the effort, but a few extra ouches are a small price for giving it a shot. 😊
My state rep. pal will send pics and video along after they wrap. Doing as advised Laffy, still relishing the satisfaction of knowing our tiny VT town protests. 💜 you guys.
