Aside: what i take away from this is that car salespeople of all genders are incapable of not being creepy or cringy-af. lol

@roelgrif@mstdn.socialNIVEL weekrapportage week 11.
De griepepidemie is voorbij. We kunnen de balans opmaken en zien dat we, ondanks de opkomst van H3N2, toch een minder heftige epidemie hebben gehad dan een jaar geleden.
Volgens NIVEL is er ook sprake van een kortere epidemie, maar dat is m.i. een beetje appels en peren vergelijken, omdat ze de epidemie nu over verklaren o.b.v. een andere indicator dan vorig jaar. Aan onderstaand plaatje kun je dat i.i.g. niet zien.

@tokensane@mastodon.me.ukThis graffiti recently turned up near where I live, and I'm wondering if anyone can read it, or at least identify the language. Its not Arabic, Hebrew or Cyrillic. The alphabet appears related to Latin.
Its possible that this is just an unusually ornate tag, but it consists of 4 words, and it looks like they are repeated A-B, B-A, which suggests that it has a meaning beyond just identity, possibly a political slogan?

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itOddly, the speed of an old msata drive has gotten slower and slower over time. It's running debian stable, and that means it's regularly doing TRIM.. but hdparm -t shows 40MB/s disk reads. I've read that this often happens due to firmware bugs, so I'm going to try upgrading the firmware.
I grabbed an .exe from Dell's site, and ran it under wine(32) to basically unzip the files. Now a small side quest to install xfce on it and see if I can get a remote root terminal…

BLAKE: I see, yes of course.
TRAVIS: It is the fastest, the most powerful ship in existence.

VILA: [Suddenly sober] What's going on? What am I doing here?
KRANTOR: Vila. The Klute offers you the white pieces and the advantage of the first move.
VILA: That drink - I've been tricked.
KRANTOR: Did you say something?

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itI'll be honest, sometimes I like the #AltText more than the picture. Like, it'll be some picture of the woods or something, and I'm like "okay woods.." and then I read the alt text and it describes lots of amazing details that I didn't even notice and I'm like, "wow this picture is great!"
But really it's the alt text that's great. It…

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itA little over two weeks, I caught a cold from one of my kids. Like his cold, it was pretty minor - about a day of sore throat, some minor congestion, and lots of fatigue.
The congestion and fatigue have remained. I figured it developed into a sinus infection (something that happens a lot with me, I have awful sinuses/ears), and a few days ago I went on antibiotics in case it was bacterial or strep or something.
Now I'm wondering if I had covid! I wish we still did testing.…

AVON: Yes, it is. I don't trust him
VILA: Why.
AVON: When he saw Blake go, he had a limp. When he went back into the cave, he didn't have a limp.
VILA: Perhaps he's a fast healer.

AVON: Le Grand referred to it as a course interceptor.

BLAKE: Yes, there've been massive rocket attacks from space, ground assaults, every kind of attack. Control still operates untouched.
VILA: Armies can't do it, space fleets can't do it, but we can, is that it?

VILA: Been looking all over for you two.
JENNA: How did you get here?
VILA: I was just passing - thought I'd drop in and see you.
AVON: Where are Gan and Cally?
VILA: They're in a cell along the corridor.

DURKIM: I know that.
SERVALAN: Do you know why it's so thoroughly secure?
DURKIM: Well, presumably because knowledge of its location is severely restricted.
