Aneighbir gave me one of these floating bulb thermometer things. I'm enough of a nerd to put it outside/inside/places just to wait watch and watch it do something. Pretty much a slow, thermometer lava lamp.

Shapeflation I'm coining a new term right here and now: shapeflation We all know inflation all too well. Since COVID especially, we've been hearing the spinoff term shrinkflation...keep the price the same, just shrink the size of the product. Well, here's a variation of shrinkflation. "Shapeflation" is essentially shrinkflation,... Bridged via Hostr at

I haven't look at this stuff in a few years, but Wow, I made some silly things during COVID. I think it was a mind virus. Wow. And way too many more at https://nefties.com/pages/free.html

Every bitcoiner ought to read Teddy Roosevelt's "Strenuous Life" speech, if for no other reason than paragraph [3] about effort. Essentially, #bitcoin proof-of-work. [3] We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious effort; the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Full speech:

It occurred to me that when Joe Biden stops interviews and such altogether, Hunter will become the Biden family patriarch and spokesperson.

I've been futzing with small engines the past two days. My brother is much better than me at this, he said the trilemma with working on mechanical stuff is time, money, and skill. All 3 must be present, else it fails. I asked, "What if someone has a bit of all three?" The jury is out.

I just watched a YouTube video to help me with lawnmower repair. I've gotta say, I get a kick out of Canadians. To me, it's a mix of British wry humor and American wild west. Pretty good mix.

Dealing with VPSs is a hassle and is discouraging. It' s time to quit on that and to work on something less frustrating: broken lawnmowers and clogged carburetors.

I want a novel-to-movie AI generator sooner rather than later. Input text of the novel, AI outputs a movie version.

Is the word "coldplay" going to replace "dox"? Instead of, "You got doxxed," it'll be, "You got coldplayed."

Somehow I simultaneously have a broken bolt on a snow thrower carburetor (requiring a whole new carb) and a broken bolt holding a lawnmower gas tank (requiring removal of the carb). They just don't make bolts like they used to.

Two weeks after berries everywhere, a scouted out mulberry tree now has zero. What's up with that? 😞

@LNVPS.net having issues? I see word of DoS attack a few days ago, still going on?

I went to the public library today to get a specific book. The fiction section has about 8 shelves, so, 16 rows. There is exactly one person in fiction, and, of course, she is standing in front of the book that I want. My book is belt level directly in front of her. The woman is scanning titles at eye level and up. My wife and I stop, each of us on one side of the woman, obviously there, obviously eyeballing a certain book directly ahead. Does she get a hint? Does she move? Of course not. She stands and scans. We are unacknowledged. I think about reaching into the breech and grabbing the book, no harm done, but don't. "Excuse me," my wife says. No response. "Excuse me," my wife repeats and reaches in to quickly fetch out the book. The woman never looked at us, replied, or anything. Maybe she was deaf, maybe mad at us for for being inbher space, possibly standing her ground as she was here first by golly!, maybe mentally challenged. Still, weird. And with 16 rows! Of course she's there!

Bridging around I've been playing around with bridges to and from various places: (1) the Nostr protocol, (2) the Hive blockchain, and (3) Mastodon. And, I guess we could also throw in (4) the Hive-Engine layer 2 sidechain of Hive. It's intrigued me that these unrelated things can be linked up in an interactive manner. Here's ho...
