Special relativity describes that as the light cone - if you flash a light somewhere in the universe, how much of the universe will see it.

I love POP OS, but it being stuck at 22.04 until Cosmic is done is less than ideal. But I'm hoping Cosmic's full release is both awesome and ready when 26.04 is upon us.

That Brunt is so versatile, I could see him taking on a lot of different roles

... at the company

Yeah its a weird feeling. A mix of relief that things sort of make sense, bewilderment that I've gone decades wearing masks and stimming without realizing it, frustration, trepidation, other SAT words. Plus some suspicions about other kids I grew up with...

I've never met anyone who retired to the middle of nowhere who wasn't back near a city within 5 years because someone's health took a turn. That includes my mother who dreamed of living in a small coast town all her life an did so after retiring, but my step-father's diagnosis of parkinson's cut that short.

There are a couple things that could stymie Captain Jackson. Is there a hungry shark on the bridge? Where is Captain Marvel's cat?

Could we swap to funions? Cold onion rings are gross and hot onion rings seem like a real problem (in context).

My 50s house still has a glass brick window facing the driveway. It's a great silhouette backdrop, if I leave the workbench light on.

Lemmings fear and respect the owl.

I don't remember specifics well enough but I was under age at the time, and I'm guessing if it was on the menu it was boozey.

Can confirm, Quarks is fun!

The Quarks Bar that was in the Las Vegas Hilton (back when the ST Experience was first running) ranks pretty high on my list "most fun things I've done in Vegas." I growled at a Klingon, drank a prune juice, and got a replica 1701-D commissioning plate. 10/10: Highly recommend (if you have a time machine).

Sony Pictures Entertainment has acquired the popular movie theater chain Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the two companies announced on Wednesday.

Sony, which will oversee the theaters under a new Sony Pictures Experiences division, says it “will preserve Alamo Drafthouse’s distinctive movie-dining experience,”

Sony is acquiring Alamo Drafthouse from Altamont Capital Partners, Fortress Investment Group, and Alamo founder Tim League — a group that took ownership of Alamo after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2021.

 

I blatantly stole this from a bsky thread my friend reposted, though I'm sure its history is longer and full of more tales of honor than that.

 

Join Andy Zaltzman, Babatunde Aléshé, Emma Sidi, Jack Dee & Rosie Jones in Series 18

I just Rosie Jones on something talking about taking a first date to a posh restaurant and then seeing Greg, Alex, and Tim Key at a table, and her being torn about wanting to give her attention to her date but also really wanting to be on Taskmaster. I'm glad at least one worked out.

 

A purported leak of 2,500 pages of internal documentation from Google sheds light on how Search, the most powerful arbiter of the internet, operates.

The leaked documents touch on topics like what kind of data Google collects and uses, which sites Google elevates for sensitive topics like elections, how Google handles small websites, and more. Some information in the documents appears to be in conflict with public statements by Google representatives, according to Fishkin and King.

 

This is the first time I've found a squirrel sitting in the tray. They usually sit on the countertop to eat. This is also smaller than most of our brown squirrel customers.

 

ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

 

We adopted Timber (age 4) today from the a rescue in Springfield Oregon. He's only been with us about 4 hours but he's already settling in.

We met him at a multi-rescue adaption event this afternoon and were told we'd be called this week to finish the process. Then about 45 minutes later they called to tell us the loud event was making him miserable and they'd be happy to have us take him to our nice quiet home. He's currently in our 2nd bedroom to let him acclimate for a week or so before introducing him to our other cat and the rest of the house. He was very stressed at first but by the end of the first hour he was already training us how he likes to be petted, and how he drools when you're doing it right.

I never tried Junglefowl. Did anyone else?

I was reminded of this oldie but goodie by a post my mastodon feed

 

From the blog post:

TL;DR: We have joined the Z-Wave Alliance, thanks to revenue from Home Assistant Cloud subscribers, and will start the certification process for Z-Wave JS.

As a z-wave user myself, I am pleased by this. I was apprehensive about Z-Wave JS at first, but its been super reliable and stable for me.

 

This song got tons of airplay on in the PDX area (KNRK) back in the day, and now I mention it to people and they seem to not remember it at all.
