I have a new job, I'm happy I have this job because it's a good job for a good company.
So I should be generally happy, shouldn't I?
Unfortunately I'm not - not as happy as I would like to be - due to everything else going on (my father, *waves frantically* fascism and war and ecocide), so I resort to buying stuff.
Namely, a refurbished coffee grinder and a second-hand Casio watch.
Neither is trackable yet for some DHL reason.
I hate everything.

Happy Fifth Gotcha Day to Izzy!
On July 11, 2020, we adopted a very scared spaniel who had spent three months in a high kill shelter in South Carolina raising her four puppies, and then being spayed and treated for heartworms. When she was transported from South Carolina to Washington, she was so scared that she didn't want to leave the crate she had ridden in. Then she didn't want to get out of our car when we got to our house. I had to carry her up the front steps to our hou…
Happy 250th birthday to the US Merchant Marines! I used to volunteer on the SS Lane Victory, playing in the band during our summer cruises. The Lane is the official Merchant Marines memorial.
During WWII, 9,521 Merchant Marine sailors lost their lives. It would not be until 1988 that they were given Veteran status.

Wild... I subscribe to a zine, a small but mighty publication from a really talented and generous guy who happens to live in the US.

Still, the story might have a happy (temporary) ending: a US subscriber, who'll be here, plans to stop by a Canadian post office and mail all the zines. Yay! But loads of …

My laptop is packed with random pictures of my favorite music artist. I love collecting them and looking at them again and again because it makes me happy. I guess that’s just my autistic brain doing its thing.
I like sorting the pictures into folders by year, date, and color because organizing stuff is super fun for me.
It might seem weird, but this is totally my thing. Sometimes my special interest mode is always on, and I’m here for it!

Just playing a bit of Dwarf Fortress in a biome where it rains poisonous mucus, so the surface is kind of tricky.
All my grazing animals died before I could reach a cavern layer (my incompetence).
Traders came but brought no food.
The only thing my dwarves have eaten for 2 years is turkey eggs.
Hopefully I can sort this out before they are all clad head to toe only in turkey leather.
Got some pigs but they take ages to grow to adulthood.

My Convoy S12 UV light stopped working. I contacted Simon and he sent me a new driver. I had some issues opening the metal ring that holds the driver because I don't have the right tool. Soldering was tricky because of the short wires and I didn't take into account how it should be placed. But it works again. I'm happy.

Related to understanding firearms, "rifles" and hand guns tend to be rifled. Rifling is grooving that runs in a helical pattern down the barrel. When purchasing a firearm, it's important to check the rifling.
First check that the firearm is unloaded. Empty or remove the magazine, cycle the weapon. Next, check again that it's unloaded by looking both down the barrel and into the magazine. Now, shine a light down the barrel and look down it. In the absence of a light, you may be able to reflect light off your thumbnail.
Rifling should look as though it's drawn on with a sharp pencil, and the barrel should look otherwise completely smooth and clean. If the rifling looks like bumpy mountains, then the owner probably used corrosive ammo and didn't clean it enough. It will probably still shoot, but not at all accurately.
Both the rifling and the pin can be used in forensic analysis to match a bullet to a gun. I don't honestly know how accurate this is because a lot of forensic "science" is just made up stuff that relies on the CSI effect and doesn't actually work as advertised.
However, not all firearms are not all rifled. Shotguns are "smoothbore" firearms, meaning they lack rifling. It is not possible to perform forensic analysis of a smoothbore firearm. It *is* possible to check for powder on the hands of someone who has used a firearm within the last few days, but it's not possible to distinguish between firing inside and outside a range.
I've been gathering all kinds of tidbits like this, partially just out of curiosity and partially because I've been wanting to write a story about a revolutionary group fighting a modern authoritarian society. I'm always happy to learn other bits, if anyone has anything else I could throw in my narrative (whenever I finally get back to writing it).
Is there a tool to set up #GitAnnex to calculate archive unpackings yet?

Can we just dispense with grades already? Universities' rush to adopt LLMs, including providing students free access to more advanced versions, has made whatever grades we give wholly suspect (I wouldn't trust a transcript if I was hiring our students). At the same time, my institution at least has given instructors neither guidance nor support in dealing with the fallout. I am more than happy to teach those who want to learn. If the others want to spend their time querying an AI, so…

whenever I read a really good fic it makes me want to be able to write a fic myself... and while I'm happy this particular fic that I suddenly wanted to reread was still there I'm kinda sad the author doesn't seem to write anymore (maybe they changed account? idk?)
"Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: ‘Look, until America goes into political decline, there won’t be an American pope.’ And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don’t want America running the world religiously. So, I think there’s some truth to that, that we’re such a superpower and so dominant, they don’t wanna give us, also, control over the church."
Well, fuck. Had I known ahead of time, I’d have flown to Hawaii for the long weekend.

Das Happy End im Action-Monster-Film sieht meist so aus, daß die beiden Giganten (gerne genommen: Gozilla und King Kong) sich heftigst bekämpfen, und während der eine den anderen besiegt, wird er selbst im Todeskampf des Gegners so schwer verwundet, daß er diesen Verletzungen letztlich erliegt.
Nun sind Trump und Musk keine Giganten. Und dennoch: wenn Trump Musk's Konzernimperium den endgültigen Schlag versetzt, könnte letzterer derart kompromittierende Dokumente leaken, das beide …
