@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caPasswords are a scourge foisted on elderly tech-users. :(
I just got back from a house call with a fellow who can’t remember his passwords for his email. None of his backups work. His little book of passwords, useless.
There is no support to call for help.
His only option is to create a new email and leave the other behind.
Over and over I have seen this trouble. Not always to this extent, but always the same frustration.
Passwords are elder abuse.

@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzOrganic geochemical evidence for life in Archean rocks identified by pyrolysis–GC–MS and supervised machine learning: #life in ancient rocks: https://gizmodo.com/ai-uncovers-evidence-of-life-in-3-3-billion-year-old-rocks-2000687539 / https://www.reuters.com/science/new-method-spots-signs-earths-primordial-life-ancient-rocks-2025-11-18/ - a machine-learning-enhanced approach to chemical analysis is drastically expanding the chemical record of life on Earth, and it could help us find evidence of life on other planets too.
@smurthys@hachyderm.ioEvery opportunity in life is a test. Of whether we use the opportunity, how we use it, what we use it for, and who (all) we use it for. 🌈

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioLine from a show set in 1990s: "My boss wants to surprise his daughter with this monster 40-inch Mitsubishi TV."
(City on a Hill, S3 E2, 27:1.)
43" is probably the smallest size TV anyone sells/wants these days. 😀

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.cathe good news is yesterday i got half of our giant hedge trimmed before the battery died on the trimmer (seems to be a theme)
the bad news is, just before the battery died, my back tweaked.
I took some relaxants and it was ok last night, but this morning the muscles are very guarded. Full up on Tylenol back pain and Advil.

@johnhobbs@mstdn.caAfter a rewarding 50-year career in information management, I'm thrilled to guide seniors toward vibrant living. 😊 Life is truly a series of transitions. What career have you transitioned from, or are considering? Share your journey! #CareerJourneys #LifeTransitions #SeniorLiving
@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzInteresting corollary to the #Perseverance discovery in the Bright Angel formation on #Mars making headlines 1 1/2 months ago: at a public talk in Bochum as part of a mathematics outreach event - #Life Detection scale #MarsSampleReturnMission the rating could jump up to 5 or 6 after lab analysis.
Green also remarked that the sample tubes dropped by Percy are up for grabs for *any* spacefaring nation capable of doing a MSRM - including China though they don't plan to go after the Percy samples with their upcoming #Tianwen3 mission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianwen-3) as far as he has heard. And regardless of where they'll get their own samples they could advance the case for life, perhaps even extant, on Mars a lot - which Green feels has been all but made in the past decades of Mars research anyway. Oh, and he also thinks terraforming Mars is quite viable ...
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caMy dad is starting a new chapter of life today, in Spain! He has only visited twice in 70 years since he emigrated to Canada. But this time, he’s got his citizenship back. So it’s really like he’s coming home.
Pretty cool.
I can hardly wait to go visit :)

@smurthys@hachyderm.io @smurthys@hachyderm.ioReplying to someone to check if a term in their message was just a typo, and spelling the word typo as "type", then correcting that typo to "typ0", and so on. 🤦♂️
Anyway, how's your day going?
