For WWBC this week, I tackled a fun question with a slightly paranoid answer: I’m glad time travel isn’t real.
Between timeline paradoxes, unintended world wars, and the possibility of dragging forgotten diseases across centuries… maybe fiction is safer.

Back to Now: My Case Against Time Travel – Bob Mueller
For WWBC, I explain why time travel is one fictional idea I’m glad isn’t real—paradoxes, pandemics, and all.

This week’s #WWBC prompt: What fictional thing do I wish were real?
My answer is time travel—but only to observe, not interfere. History, family mysteries, ancient burials, WWII… and the very real safety risks.

A WWBC post on time travel: visiting history without changing it—and the safety risks and paradoxes that could unravel everything.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe is seeking answers after
four enrolled members were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis.
Tribal President Frank Star Comes Out said in a statement on Facebook that the men,
who were homeless and living near the Little Earth housing complex in Minneapolis,

I am also, however, quite ready to exercise political leverage and use politicians as our tools whenever I think that has a nonzero chance of being useful. Make that call — then back to the rest of the work.

@… I think dB volume is only one part of the equation, most of the whistles I’ve tested max out at about ~120 dB with a heavy blow. A good estimate for a speaking voice is ~60 dB. The frequency of a whistle plays a part in how far the sound carries too. The triple tone whistle has three different pitches, so it’s a more full sound. Happy to answer questions

If the first answer to any problem on a Linux system is "oh just update all the packages again" that is evidence of a broken and fragile package management system.
My experience (at home) with Manjaro so far has been absolutely terrible compared to my experience (at work) with CentOS and Rocky Linux.
With Manjaro, working packages regularly break after updates or new installs. It's clearly not managing dependencies properly. And I've had other weird problems o…

"The IEA advised countries to promote public transport, give private cars access to city centres on alternate days, encourage efficient driving habits, avoid air travel where possible and switch to electric cooking."
This is actually sound advice from Faith Birol. But it should be the norm in the face of ecological overshoot and climate collapse.
Meanwhile UK ministers are beginning to panic.
"Don't panic!" they cry, in tribute to corporal Jones.
