Curious Canid

A Tilley LTM8 to keep the sun off my head without holding in heat. They aren’t exactly stylish, but they work well and seem to be nearly indestructible.

Ah, that makes sense.

She is gorgeous!

On a side note, most phone cameras have an option to disable the shutter sound. That makes a big difference when taking pictures of pets.

It’s a reference to Trump insulting Harris by refusing to say “Kamala” correctly.

I’m with you. If everyone in the country could get to know Trump personally, he would get fewer votes than he has immediate family members. The best thing he can do for Harris is to go out there and be himself in public.

Underrated comment.

There is some evidence to suggest that the Saudis were involved in setting it up. Beyond that, there were endless conspiracy theories, none of which were widely believed. I’ve talked about it with a lot of people over the years and have yet to meet a single conspiracy theorist. The vast majority have never believed in a 9/11 conspiracy.

He is perfect…in the sense that he is not capable of getting any better than he is right now.

If you strip the DRM and keep a local copy of your digital content, you are no longer at the mercy of whatever services the provide it. Then you can keep a backup in case something happens to your primary copies.

GalaxyQuest included an alleged commentary track that was all in Thermian. No one should ever listen to it, but my hat is off to whoever put it together.

I’ve just been looking for something to replace One Note. The timing of this announcement worked out really well for me. :-)

Thanks!

I would be happy to see it replaced by something better, but I don’t want it to disappear. Having any kind of reference for source reliability, even just as a reminder to think about it, helps provide perspective on political posts.

We live in an era where it has become normal to dump masses of bullshit online in the hope that sheer volume will convince people it’s true. Pointing out the credibility gap between NPR and Fox News is important.

With polar bears, the only thing an ambush is likely to change is what mood the bear is in when it kills you.

Getting a university degree is essential for a lot of professions, but it should not be your only purpose in attending. It’s an opportunity expand yourself as a person while training for a job. Take some classes in non-technical areas that you know very little about. A few of them may lead to lifelong interests. Even if they don’t, they will give you a broader view of the world and the people in it.

Even if you end up loving your job, there is more to life than work.

I have a computer science degree and work as a developer and consultant. The most important things I learned in college were from some anthropology classes I took out of curiosity. Technical knowledge is not that hard to acquire. Gaining new perspectives on the world is a lot harder to come by. Take advantage of the opportunities.

Thank you for bringing up a happy memory.

Casting themselves as victims is a critical part of the movement. What makes me sad is that many of them are victims, but of their own leaders. Progressive policies would actually make life better for the majority of them.

Titanium and carbon fiber, not iron. This isn’t the middle ages.

That is a small group, but the results look promising. I hope they’re able to scale up quickly.

Two of my best friends have Parkinson’s.
