Tech News
Sort Of Tech News For the past few months I've been working busily on a new project at work that was expected to launch about, well, right now really. With just a few weeks left before it needed to ship, and with the application largely working, the entire design was suddenly changed for... Reasons... Putting me into extreme crunch time. So lately I've just been grabbing half an hour each day - while working seven days a week - to put up at least some content. I can't complain because I was party to the decision to redesign everything and agree that the new design makes it a much better product for everyone involved, including reducing the future tech support load, much of which would have landed on me. And the company got in a specialist to do some of the key work for the redesign, and he did a good job. Just... Ouch. I haven't slept much this past month. Anyway, we missed the originally planned shipping date by a week but it's now complete and I have my weekends - and my sanity - to myself again. Not At All Tech News The shark is back. (For those not terminally online, Sameko Saba is the latest iteration of the girl who won the World Series for the Dodgers last year sort of.) Musical Interlude Alternate version because there are no versions of the original with decent audio that aren't blocked somewhere. Disclaimer: Your friends don't dance? Into the maggot pit!

The Killer Kittenz From Outer Space are flying around as if they think they have wings. Big black Stirling helped to wake me up all the way when he heard me stir.

NOAA discontinues Climate.gov due to Trump executive order:
The executive order, issued last month, prompted NOAA to centralize and consolidate resources onto one website. In the May 23 order, Trump said the federal government "used or promoted scientific information in a highly misleading manner," leading to loss of trust with the public. He specifically mentioned how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance on reopening the schools with edits encouraged by the American Federation of Teachers. He accused it of being "restrictive and burdensome" and it "discouraged in-person learning." https://tinyurl.com/mw7nrbnc Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 28, 2025 04:47 AM (omVj0) 21

May this day's efforts bring great benefit to each, with like heartburn for the leftwits Posted by: IRONGRAMPA at June 28, THANK YOU! I needed that. Especially here in Canada. President Trump had a kick ass day yesterday. And some of that came my way. My brother FINALLY signed papers on the house, after backing out twice on the last day since January when Mom passed. I took care of Mom amd Dad for 14 years. I'll be fine but just wanted more time to create a life. It cost me a crazy amount of money but I have a 2 years of peace. Honestly, I'm just happy Mom's dog, legally mine, but Mom's dog Ralphy gets to stay here. He's a rescue dog. About 15. Horrible limping. I'm trying to keep him comfortable. And my amazing friends outdoor cat Snowflake, who stays here is no longer potentially homeless. Well the house is 99% mine. But it's been hell and I'm posting at 5:24 in the morning. But, immediate plan. I am taking care of the dog forever. So much limping. He's home. As is, apparently the cat. Not mine. But about ready to type.

Commodore went bankrupt long ago. The assets were bought, and then that company went bankrupt. And the assets were then split up across three or four companies, which merged and subdivided and went bankrupt and were bought out again.

Holy crap.
The entire house is up. My friends' cat Snowflake, who has been back 2.5 weeks after her catnapping is looking out the patio. I petted and talked to Ralphy a lot. I reminded him that he and I would go to the dog park, literally across the street, and chase squirrels. I had him on the leash and I am a runner. And now cats are in the house.

We always hear about mermaids -- which I'd prefer to look at anyway, at least if they look like the original animated Ariel -- but there would have to be mermen if the race was to reproduce. Unless mermaids were spawned from Poseidon's forehead and are immortal, or very long-lived. Which would make them even lonelier than we've been shown that they are.
The old DC Comics during the Silver Age occasionally showed merfolk, both male and female, probably in Aquaman stories. Since I read that series very rarely, I think they may have showed up in Superman or Justice League tales too. In Larry Niven's "Magic Goes Away" stories, he suggests that magical beings "breed oddly" when mana (the power behind magic) gets low, and that the merfolk evolved into . . . dolphins!

Stupid question time.
If there were a cavern or void in a solid rock mountain, and a MOP were to actually penetrate into the void... Would there be a measurable difference in the seismic shock, compared to if the MOP failed to actually vent shock and pressure into the void? I guess this is really a dumb question, because there would be no way that either US or Israeli forces could get a portable seismograph within 100 miles of that Iranian facility. Right?
