@foone you could use the opportunity to take all your php services offline now and avoid a metaphorical headache later today

@mike pretty men period. Skinner has been great so that should give you the basic idea about how it's gone.
@ColleenB Just saw the replay of the goal. No so much wondering if it was kicked more how did two Jets lose their man in front of the net.

New adventure unlocked! A friend in France asked if I would read them a bedtime story tonight so I did. I asked them to pick out a text on Project Gutenburg, and they chose Voltaire's Candide, translated into English.
I seem to have successfully read them to sleep. 😊
These projects get a lot of criticism. Why, and is it deserved?
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood.

Of course, you'll never be able to fight Communism unless you first read Marx and Engels. Then attend some DSA meetings. Maybe vote for a few leftists to see why they keep doing it.
Know thy enemy, right, fellow capitalists?

Question for other people who run their own website:
So far I've had a `mailto:<my email address>` link on my website to let people email me. It looks like a handful of spammers have picked it up, fortunately not much yet, but I'd like that to not happen any more. At the same time, I want actual people to be able to email me with relatively low friction.
What have you folks done to manage the tension between those two goals? Does the classic thing of "mailto:<name> AT <domain>" still work, or any variations on that? Or have spammers figured that one out?
@rachelplusplus my website says: "you can email my imaginary assistant at ".
It's been there for a year, received no spam yet. I suppose spambots see "imaginary", and "assistant", and don't deem it worth spamming. Humans don't care, they click.
@dgar What happened between you two? You've been chilly with her ever since I had her over to use the hot tub
I never even took my armor off
@TeflonTrout Bah!! You're right, I don't get along with her at all.

I'm no furry myself (although I do have a thing for Jessica Rabbit), but if I'm going to be embarrassingly honest in public, I *kind of* see what they mean on this one. I think it's a combo of the eyes, and the voice.
I'm presuming the animators did the Disney thing of modelling the facial features on the voice actor's. If so, whoever she is, she has very pretty eyes, and a voice that could launch a thousand ships (Helen of Troy reference, look it up).

Now before anyone takes me to task for objectifying the disembodied parts of this poor woman, I'm going somewhere with this. The fuzzy boundary between the cartoon animal and the real woman may just be part of the reason KB came down so hard on this otherwise harmless fun.

I swear, these people are going to be left behind the way the anti-JS frameworks folks were. You just cant build modern software like that.
@rachelnabors I'm usually not a fan of the "left behind" framing but, yeah, it feels kind of willfully myopic. Sometimes when I compare what I read online with my regular work life and colleagues/customers I talk to, I feel like people are living in different universes.

"Syssk: The Alien Tarot of Ancient Japan" is a highly obscure tarot deck created by Armenian poet Lilit "Baba" Yagian, revolving around an alien (marked only by the stolen head of H. R. Giger's Xenomorph) named Syssk who "finds herself unexpectedly marooned in Medieval Japan" and "attempts to navigate a human society while assuming the role of a samurai."
The cards are created via crude digital collage, most prominently using Ukiyo-e woodblock and anime art with some psychedelic filters. A book containing lengthy explanations of the cards, Armenian-language only, is available on archive.org
