@StephenRees@mas.toMuch of what I post on here is about Vancouver transit. But today I got to read about (some of) the history of Seattle. I recommend it. And venture to suggest that you might find Transit Sleuth's upcoming material worthy of your attention too.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThe find of Gomorra - Le Origini on ilCorSaRoNeRo and the accompanying English subs on Opensubtitles.org fills me with more pleasure than the find of a new distro to install.
I know, I know, but everyone wants to know the origin story of Pietro Savastano. Don't we? I do!
Only the initiated will understand this 😜

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialJust finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.

@zachleat@zachleat.comThe 80px vertical page shift from “This issue has been moved to a discussion” clunking in on an already loaded page may be my villain origin story.
Bring back toasts, GitHub! 🥸
@kurtsh@mastodon.socialDuring the filming of the movie, "Groundhog Day", Bill Murray got bitten TWICE by the groundhog used in filming.
(The story of the groundhog's origin is pretty damn funny.)

@tanyakaroli@expressional.socialMin mand har lige vist mig at der på Prime ligger en serie der hedder “Ms. Sophie - same procedure as last year” - og ja, det er hvad man tror! The origin story for Ms. Sophie og James!!
Den er tysk (originalen er jo også lavet til tysk tv) og det ser velproduceret ud. Den skal jeg se!

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeAny computer touchers familiar with the origin story of UUIDs/GUIDs?
In particular I'm curious how we ended up with the weird format of 32 bits, 2x 16 bits, 8 bytes rather than the two obvious formats (uint32[4] or uint8[16]). And the C struct format doesn't align with the typical hex printing (8-4-4-4-12 hex digits)
My best guess is that it's somehow related to the version 1 GUID format where you'd have { MAC address, version nibble, timestamp} but neither the st…
