Every ocean disaster story is either "they did everything right and planned perfectly then 1800 one in a million things lined up in a row to kill them" or "they rowed out 4 miles into a category 2 hurricane in a rubber dinghy with no life vests while drinking brandy from the bottle and drowned"

Here's a fun experiment, start looking at old obituaries and count the frequency with which "blood poisoning" appears as a cause of death and then check to see the date when Alexander Fleming was dicking around with that petri dish
before antibiotics did people just die all the time from everything?

Vague idea for a TTRPG campaign: All Regulations Are Written in Blood
PCs are field agents in charge of finding and dealing with arcane occupational safety violations. That six-sided summoning pentagram? Flagged. That storeroom where the universal solvent is next to the lemonade? Flagged.

As someone from a sikh family, that practices a faith that was literally founded on the basis of not being able to tolerate bullshit, it is against my religion to use generative AI and I have a letter from my mom to prove it

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.
WD and Seagate confirm: Hard drives for 2026 sold out

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

Got a box of Turkish delight (with no gelatin in it, per Tasting History) for like $9 at Costco and it is, in fact, The Stuff. The texture is like if marshmallows actually dissolved on a decent timeline, and the flavors are really good :)

Maybe I'm just weird, but when I ask "how do you install transition strips?" what I really want to know is "will it fuck up the integrity of my floor if I nail this stuff down?" and a yes-or-no answer would have been really nice (the answer is: it's fine as long as you don't mind a small hole there)

I think I'm the only person who monitors the Spotify charts closely enough to notice a potentially huge single rising up the charts, it's almost in the top 50 and I'm curious to see how far it can go. Can find nothing about the artist, White Noise Radiance, I don't get how there's so little coverage

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.
This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #CollectingFood (birds with food in their beaks), so here is Larry, one of the local #GreatBlueHerons, keeping down the invasive goldfish population. (There are multiple Larrys, but no one will admit that.)
