    One chunk of lore in my head was that my father operated a linotype machine when he was in college. Molten lead cast into &quot;a line of type&quot; and then melted back down blew my mind. Unfortunately, my memory was wrong apparently. Dad reports: I never had the opportunity to operate a linotype, but when I was editor of the Graceland Tower, linotype was how it was printed in Lamoni Iowa. We switched to offset printing in Leon, where the image is burned onto a metal plate from a negative, gi...

    Is this late stage capitalism or do I have early onset dementia? #podcast https://pca.st/episode/0a089f68-27ee-4beb-97d2-eb059a41a71c

    Kudos to those who work injustice full time and keep fighting. I don&#39;t think I&#39;m strong enough to dedicate my entire life effort to a system, just to watch fuckers ignore the rules without consequence. 🇺🇸 https://mastodon.social/@theleftistlawyer/116530791943091273 If I was driven to be a scientist, at least I&#39;d still hold out hope that I could make a living abroad.

    Brain dump: CrossFit going good. Glad I&#39;m doing it. Well, I can&#39;t do it, but I&#39;m trying and presumably if I keep trying long enough I&#39;ll be able to do some of it someday. Broadly speaking, if I take the lowest bar for any sub-section, pretty happy if I can do 1/3 of that. 1/2 or 3/4th if it isn&#39;t weaponizing my body weight against me (most of them do).Heading out to another ~annual tropical paradise for scuba. In the pre-travel worry phase that usually lifts once it&#39;s to...

    Previous boost: Would prefer to boost the author, who I know, but looks like they&#39;re not commenting. Hope they&#39;re doing OK. So I guess I&#39;ll just make sure my 11ty is open source up to date w/ the latest on GitHub for my ... 5? static sites and then let that ride... for years? And eventually those sites won&#39;t build anymore so I&#39;ll migrate &#39;em to whatever the new one is? Maybe I&#39;ll fall back to Perl&#39;s Template::Toolkit? I think I only have 3 TT sites still out on...

    I assume this is a well-studied phenomenon in behavioral economics. If you happen to know the name of it, let me know. (Is it just FOMO? I think 99% of the time normal FOMO doesn&#39;t work on me?) I bought an assault rifle when Obama rumors were that we might not be allowed to buy them anymore. Trump cancelling the 30% federal tax credit on residential solar panels effective January 1 triggered my purchase of solar panels. So a million times you can tell me &quot;limited time offer&quot; and...
