  Please think of the CEOs—they need a new yacht for when they’ve flown in on their G4 to the Hamptons and their summer yacht is in San Diego.

  The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present.

  If a company can own a copyright to the Eiffel Tower at night, then individuals ought to be able to own their own image and likeness, and have that encoded as a fundamental right.

  I’ve heard it out as all life is suffering. It can be a bit dark, depending on one’s headspace, but liberating if simply accepted.

  This is a “dummy pronoun” and I only know this because this popped up as a TIL earlier this week.

  I’ve been to SCS’s website and it seems… incomplete? It was on mobile so maybe that makes a difference but with how often I’ve seen it recommended I was surprised to see a site which did not look done.

  Because stupidity is immortal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dr Strange saw 4 billion possible futures and none of them had Thor lopping off Thanos' head on his first shot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The subtext there might be that Dr Strange felt so hopeless about the situation that he didn’t conceive to look into the possibility, out of an infinite number of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s quite a nice typeface. I find myself torn between serif vs sans; when reading g a book it’s so ingrained to expect serif (I switched from Bookerly) that my eyes stuttered a bit when I started Atkinson’s.

  As long as I can get the OTF or TTF files, I’ll try em all. You have any more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for that suggest. I had taken a peek at it a while ago and it’s too “wobbly” for me.

  I just added this to my eReader. I’ve been reading g a lot lately and while I haven’t had any difficulty, I’m eager to see if it enhances comprehension.

  Good post OP.

  I wish I could find it now, but there was a quote attributed to someone suffering under an oppressive regime which would blatantly lie, and yet it remained accepted: “The lie is the insult.”

  All planes land, some more controlled than others.

  Take-offs are optional; landings are mandatory.

  Two of them, one on each side.

  Note linking is what did it for me a few years back. It’s possible in OneNote, and clunky as hell.

  I was sold the moment I read links can be wiki style.

  They just need to be remagnetized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS and servers : simulated sine wave good?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my thought, that the power blip is basically too long, and why I suggest to OP to try a different UPS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS and servers : simulated sine wave good?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ideally you’d isolate the UPS as the problem, so it would be good if you could borrow one for a few days or so to check. It could be that the UPS isn’t the problem.

  Consider reviewing the return policy of a company where you can get a pure sine wave inverter and if it fixes the problem you’re good, and you’ve already got your replacement. Else, there may be a configuration or hardware problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS and servers : simulated sine wave good?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, might have to do some isolation tests if you can borrow a pure sine wave UPS and see if it makes a difference. Outside of that, the power blip might be too much for the power supply to handle or it trips up BIOS/mobo voltage sampling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS and servers : simulated sine wave good?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some devices which will protest under modified sine wave, and some which may even get damaged. I recently accepted the risk of using an msw inverter with some electronics and did not notice any issues, but I had read that the device would be fine with it.
