You know how the weather forecast has the temperature and the “feels like” temperature?
Well, this is the 405 and the “feels like” 405.

- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 1 week ago:
My autistic son would happily play in the park. Just once every few months he would decide that “now is the time to run” and just take off as fast as he could in a straight line. How would that play out in a busy street.
People can’t imagine that: so much of the time things are calm, straightforward to handle, but if EVER you let your guard down for a second at the wrong time, you’ll end up on the news as a “tragic story of grieving negligent parent.”

“It’s too late for me. But you can still save yourself.”
Well, I used to. They don’t let me talk to the interns any more.

I sometimes imagine some introvert developer at Zoom getting a monkey’s paw: “I wish I worked at one of the most well-known companies in the world, and I wish I didn’t have to keep going out and meeting people!”
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 1 month ago:
I use rsync.net
It’s not the lowest price, but I like the flexibility of access.
For instance, I was able to run rclone on their servers to do a direct copy from OneDrive to rsync.net, 400Gb without having to go through my connection.
I can mount backups with sshfs if I want to, including the daily zfs snapshots.

I think that he wore gloves, then they decided that they didn’t like it. So someone had to paint hands over the gloves and they didn’t try to re-scales them.

Fantastic! I wish that I was cultured enough to fully appreciate it.

LPT: instead of ironing, sleep on the shirt in the shower… Or something like that. I forget.

Great song, but I could never find much in the history books about the space-monkey Mafia.

Whichever version it is, I hope that one day I can delete a mail, change my mind, press ctrl-z and it will actually undo the last delete and not some random one from earlier in the day.

This was explained in Roger Rabbit:
Eddie Valiant: You mean you could’ve taken your hand out of that handcuff at any time? Roger Rabbit: No, NOT at any time, only when it was funny.
- Comment on He's so negative. He's so weird. 4 months ago:
I have an exercise app that occasionally asks my overall mood, like “Have you recently felt overwhelmed?” Do you feel anxious a lot?"
I sent them feedback explaining that they never ask if there’s a good reason that I might be feeling down: I’ve variously had reason to think I might lose my job, nearly lost sight in one eye, nearly evacuated from wildfires, etc. Yes, I’ve felt “anxious a lot”!

The Register kind-of models itself after a tabloid style so has deliberately jokey headlines. It’s been around a long time (I read it in the 90s) and seems to have quality underneath the humor.
Possibly the only remaining place where you can read the word “boffins” regularly.
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 7 months ago:
My pixel 7 has adaptive charging. If there’s an alarm set and I charge it at night, it paces the charging to be full near the time I’m getting up.
So it’s doing what it can to preserve battery health.
