Since my daughter was held down the shutter to capture the Hummingbird stick out his tongue. I made an GIF of it.
You can watch his breath drift away.

If enough errors are performed in a baseball game, the stadium's latency spikes and the game might need to be rebooted

Looks like you're trying to install 52 trackers on my computer.

As someone who spent a large portion of '98 and '99 making sure shit didn't break on Y2K, I'd like to extend a very heartfelt FUCK YOU to HBO for greenlighting a piece of shit documentary that suggests that effort wasn't necessary.

A creature called a "lobster" should really be able to lob things.

This one maybe?

Whenever someone tells me their name, I enter my Memory Palace, stand around for a bit, and then say "what did I come in here for?"

A nice trans activism thing I like to do is, whenever I see an article about a school or a library or something being trans-inclusive or supportive of trans people/issues in my country, I send them a thank you card/note in the post.

They're probably getting hate mail about it from bigots, you know? Maybe a librarian/admin person getting something like that could make a big difference, now and also further down the line.

Why Jenn Keeps Meticulous Backups:

So one of the things I've been doing is copying my CD-ROMs to ISO files and away from the proprietary MDF/MDS files that aren't always usable in Linux. However, ISO isn't good for CD-ROMs that are a mix of Data and Music. So I used Alcohol 120% to rip those to a BIN/CUE pair.

Today I got nostalgic for some DOS gaming, only to find that every BIN/CUE file's music was ripped wrong. A few web searches later and it turns out that Alcohol 120% has had a long term glitch where BIN/CUE files don't rip accurately.

Rather than re-rip the discs again, I loaded up my archive from 2022 (and then 2021 when the files I needed weren't in 2022), and pulled the original MDF/MDS files from the archive.

The files work in the DOSBox application I use, so I can just keep those files as is. Quick and easy recovery because I kept multiple backups. :)

We're back above freezing! If I can send some feedback up the chain, please no cold weather without SOME snow, please.

So I boiled up some tea for making iced tea...but I need to cool it down before I can have any.

It's 20 degrees outside (-7C)...colder than my freezer. I'll just leave it outside like I used to in Pennsylvania. :)

CW: pandemic rant 

Remember when we all started to make a more inclusive society and create online events and communities that supported each other, then how that all got thrown in the trash the minute able bodied neurotypical people could pretend that diseases weren't real and could go 'back to normal '?

Yeah, I'm still incandescent with fury about that and will never forgive.
