I like trains. I really really like trains. I used to live in Japan so I know what life is like when it's organized around trains and it's awesome. I hate the sprawled-out American suburbs where everything is so far apart that w

Except for sumo I've never been a fan of sports broadcasts. Between Corgi racing and Excel I may have to rethink this.

It's not "reunification" because Taiwan was not part of China to begin with. Taiwan is it's own democratic country. China can fuck off.

I think this has become a meme. It's true that people have made a lot of different ways to install Python packages. Each of these people has an axe to grind and they have supporters who are trying to boost their preferred solution and

I don't know about Buffy but some later Star Trek series like Deep Space 9 will be really hard to remaster because they were shot on video instead of film. The detail just isn't there to be enhanced.

Most of the public cares about climate change and wants the government to do something. The overwhelming majority of the public supports abortion in some form or other. If they actually voted maybe we could change things, but lots of peop

Maybe related to Trumpet Winsock?

by jefurii 4y ago
Trumpet seems to be the only musical instrument that's used as a pejorative. Why not "assclarinet" or "drumtwat"? Is it because the trumpet kinda sounds like a fart [full disclosure: trumpet player], and if so why

Yep, it's a quote describing the Energy Dome hat worn by members of the visionary/weird music group Devo. It's not completely unrelated -- they do have the same name.

"It was designed according to ancient ziggurat mound proportions used in votive worship. Like the mounds it collects energy and recirculates it. In this case the Dome collects the Orgone energy that escapes from the crown of the human

I lived in Tokyo in the early 1990s and remember hearing "Seseragi", which seems like a holdout of an earlier generation of jingles. IIRC there used to be a number of different melodies that used that same bell/keyboard sound

My wife has used LibreOffice for years in her solo law practice. This may not have worked if she had to exchange documents with other lawyers with change tracking but either never came up or was not an issue for her. She recently got a job

The U.S. has a history of paying farmers not to grow crops. We did this in the 90s to drive the price of grains up to price Mexican farmers out of the market. If we can do it for as venal a reason as that we should be able to do it for a p

Which is totally fine. The problem with dairy in California is that it's a water-intensive activity in a very water-constrained state.

by jefurii 4y ago
To be fair to the farmers, it's more of an issue of which crops they're growing. The southern Central Valley used to be a big producer of cotton and sugar beets, and the further north near Fresno has always been tree fruit and s

Drew wrote an interesting piece on the mail-based workflow (I linked to it elsewhere on this page). Yes it's been around for awhile, but it also seems like it really works better for certain use-cases.
