Positive: wow California has a new website where you can register to have data brokers remove your information from them!
Reality: ...as long as they're registered with CA! And their blazor implementation doesn't puke out on you like it did with me. And you don't mind waiting until some time Aug-Nov

I don't know how, but somehow I managed to get into a pick-up session and took control of a robot in Beijing in a boxing match. I got to knock out my opponent. This may be the most Bay Area Friday night activity I've ever done.

A lifeless alien planet orbiting a G-type dwarf.
We land, set up camp to survey.
On the fifth day Ellison finds what he swears is fiber optic cable and patches us in.
Ecstatic machine hosannas without end.
Our ship computer short-circuits in joy, stranding us
as the seething planet
comes alive.

Well this should be interesting...I've got about 16 large pots of bamboo I've been propagating since around 2014, and soon it will be time to say goodbye. Black bamboo lives 40-120 years...it dies after flowering and goes through a "mass flowering" event where all clones off the rhizome synchronize.
