@mntmn Every time I have to use the reform manual (needed to look up some battery compatibility) I realize what a great job you all did with the documentation. It is some of the best I've seen and the renderings are superb.

These airline CEOs shitting all over Boeing may have a point, but they are ignoring the fact that they pressured Boeing for years to deliver airplanes at minimal cost.

Just as i was falling asleep i thought of what seemed like a really good idea for a post and when i woke up i racked my brains until i finally remembered it. However I am grieved to announce that the thing i was trying to remember is the phrase “Captain Corelli’s Pangolin”

Very annoying that the total solar eclipse will come a couple months before the 221-year double cicada brood emergence in blatant violation of biblical plague order

My son saw the pictures of the new shuttle exhibit, where the Orbiter will be mated vertically to its stack in the original launch configuration. He did not read the article and ran into tell me it was flying again. I wish I could bottle that enthusiasm.

I know not everyone’s life situation makes it practical, but if it’s at all feasible for you, definitely consider shifting your wake schedule so that you’re not just waking up, getting ready, and going straight to work.

Having even half an hour of time to claim for yourself before work does so much for lowering work stress.

Try it! Get up half an hour earlier for 3 weeks. Use the time to do something that give you joy: maybe that’s enjoying a quiet cup of tea, or reading a couple of chapters, or eating a leisurely breakfast with loved ones.

Slightly alarmed to see Emoji support in my Mutt subject lines, like guests at a party you know should be there but sort of want to throw in the pond

Sun Microsystems: "The network is the computer"

The 2020s: "Everything is moving to the cloud"

Sun Microsystems: "No, not like that"

(Note: Please do not tell me that the cloud is someone else's computer. Save it for your bumpersticker collection, Sparky)

The stress can be absolutely massive.

Dug out this old documentary about a British Rail Leeds to London service during 1991; the beginning of the end of BR. It's a fascinating time capsule and the battle between the unionised workforce and the dark forces of privatisation is well covered. It's low quality video but the content is absolute gold.
