Russia can end this in a day by withdrawing their aggressive seizure of sovereign Ukrainian territory.

If digital archival of data isn't sorted, it might well be a second Dark Age in the sense of being difficult to figure out WTF happened.

It's good to get some sealed containers and immediately empty the bag into multiple smaller airtight ones. I think oxidation is the main problem. I surmise that you could purge the containers with dry ice or something before closing it, too.

This is not important to many people, but "actively hostile to Linux users". Like, vocally nasty about it. They're not only publicly dicks about it, their launcher software self-immolates regularly.

This is why I keep my ssh credentials on a flash drive and add it to ssh agent for time limited periods. Adds some insulation.

Eeeeeevery sperm is saaaaacred...

Boomer was definitely a term in the 80s at least... I was there, Gandalf.

I don't get it, is this a Thing?

This was 2001 at a shoestring dialup ISP that also did consulting and had a couple small software products. So no.

Plugged a serial cable into a UPS that was not expecting RS232. Took down the entire server room. Beyoop.

Manual save made sense when a disk write froze the program for seconds and engaged the disk drive with sounds (which I miss a little; very reassuring) but today autosave ought to be fully expected. LibreOffice really should've had it on by default.

Well, that song is stuck now

Thr second is already a metric SI unit. A day happens to be 86.4 kiloseconds. I'm not sure why that is weird.

Redefining the second would be a lot of work for no real benefit.

Hours, days, weeks are not metric, you wouldn't really say kiloday or centiday.

Meanwhile, the BC interior just lost the 2024 wine grape and cherry harvest to an unseasonably warm start, and then a cold snap.

Probably not too bad. There are steps, it's not a slope.

I can count on zero hands the times i have needed daily temperature to a greater precision than 1C.

Still awesome! Am halfway through an immersive mode playthrough in prep for Ashlands!

Does the metric system mean nothing to you?!

That is 5.15 gigawheats.

Don't throw out your back moving those goalposts.

What planet are you on that you've never heard of the Canadian extermination of indigenous peoples?
