""" In its current form contains: a solar calendar (365 ¼ days) “date pointer” position and phase of the moon mapped relative to the ecliptic (zodiac) “moon pointer” position of th…

Another excuse is it's a free webhost :)

Red Cross lets me give blood now. I had the total of more than six months in UK between 199x and 199y deferral for a long time. We're supposed to actually be experiencing symptoms …

First, I agree with your comment. But since you specifically bring up omeprazole: I backed off of pantoprazole by getting a prescription for half-dose pills (since they're time rel…

Very, very nice!

West Kennet Longbarrow's also appropriately spooky. I've been there with people too scared to stay inside.

Fastmail is fast enough and has rich enough keyboard shortcuts that I stopped using mutt for it. It's very good.

Yes. Someone who masters circular breathing in a weekend should start playing a wind instrument.

Is the idea that you can stick with tmux splitting-resizing keys instead of vim ones?

I ride mine 2 miles a day, sometimes 3 based on a variable commute. Mine doesn't have gears or a spedometer so I can only say I am comfortable at the fastest speed I can pedal -- b…

Exactly this. Even though I don't use git-bug anymore, I'm still a sponsor. I desperately want an issue-tracker-in-.git to become a standard. Issues and CI are the only lock-in. Th…

There are Strida's with gears. It's definitely weird to ride -- I would ride it on a commute of more than a few miles. It's less stable than a real bike, but not completely unstabl…

I grew up being told the two biggest names were Morris and Diana Dors. I have to agree with other threads that I don't believe most of his conjectures, but they're great for stimul…

A great webhost, too. You can log in and edit html/index.html directly or scp stuff up.

Still going strong. I started there when they were still on DEC alphas. "this page was generated using ksh, sed and awk"

They didn't mention my favorite part, the name. "Prolefeed" I've been waiting for someone to pick up the word so people would get more self-conscious about consuming it.

Thank you!

[Buzzkill] for android lets you completely control if you get specific notifications at all or with sound etc. I bunch up noisy text threads in once-a-day chunks, silence all notif…

For instance, I installed Xubuntu on an ancient laptop (reluctantly ensured it was 64-bit, but that's it) recently and everything's fine. I wasn't told by the installer to watch ou…

This is the first time it occurred to me Xubuntu and Kubuntu might be somehow unofficial. I'm not plugged into the Ubuntu community, so figured the flavors were offered by Canonica…

And diskonaut and gdmap.

This is a reach, but do you know where to find the essay I read about someone explaining to King David that a whale isn't a fish and the King laughs at him because his modern mamma…
