This has been a thing for years now. It's cute and weird and also annoying. There's no stopping her. When she hears the exercise mat being rolled out, she comes running from wherever she was and stands there, waiting for me to bump my head against her back over and over again. Perhaps she's like one of those dogs that help people having seizures avoid hitting their heads on the floor?

@marcel dog does this too.
@gvwilson I was surprised to see that one of the original Fortran authors, Lois Haibt, is still with us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Haibt - tho at her age I'd settle for a cup of tea not a party.
Electric trucks made up 50.3% of all heavy trucks sold in China in September. China’s diesel demand is on track to fall by about 230,000 barrels per day this year.
@healyn yeah, “do you the guy on the Newman’s Own bottle fucks?” Buddy, more than you could possibly know
@ai6yr I don't trust any of the gauge reports on the Wundermap under 5 inches for today so far.
This morning between 7:30-9:00 am my mom emptied this old school gauge she keeps in the flower bed. Ugh. And then there's the pond growing in the backyard.
Guess I'm not going to the hardware store today.
@femme_mal Yikes! I don't trust my electronic gauge, I go by an old school one I bought because the electronic one under or over-counts significantly... not reliable.
You can always tell people who are too poisoned from Facebook and Twitter because they'll pop up in your responses trying to argue with you and are shocked when you just automatically block them rather than engage with them. They view social media purely as a means to argue with strangers.
Incredible stuff from @violetblue this week - as is often the case, maybe, but this is next level. #Covid #Covid19
"The limitation that helped make the iPod obsolete, that it did little more than play music, has now become part of its appeal for people seeking an escape from permanently connected smartphones," writes Alice Gibb for @Newsweekdotcom. Here's her story on the rise and fall and rise of iPods.
This month's Steam Hardware Survey sees another big swing in Linux's favor, but consistency is key:

This is likely why intentional movement has mainly felt like punishment for me. Before the aha moment, basically all intentional movement, mostly forced by other people growing up (thanks P.E., thanks mom), was for external purposes like losing weight 😭 or a required school thing. And in the little years, psychological safety absolutely made me not feel physically safe to fall or get scraped up. Poor little me! It's so sad for a child to not enjoy movement & to be faced with such external & societal pressures. NO WONDER DEMAND AVOIDANCE!
So now, at age 34, I'm finally equipped to purposefully dismantle all this & rebuild my relationship w movement. I wish it didn't happen this way. I wish as a little neurodivergent person, my caretakers had enough insight or ability to encourage & support me in ways that led to happy movement, happy physical discovery, less societal pressures, less sensory overwhelm, more acceptance & positive encouragement instead of external pressure & demand.

motion to widely change the understood meaning of "AI" to stand for Anal Intercourse to deter people from using LLMs
This is fucking ridiculous. My https://openbenches.org/ website is serving over two TERABYTES of bandwidth per month!
That's up from 1.5TB the previous month.
While I'd love to believe that's all people fascinated by benches, I think it's more likely to be endless crawlers.
I'm lucky to have a very generous host with no hard bandwidth limits, but I'd want to find a way to block bots without having human-facing interstitials. Looks like robots.txt isn't cutting it.
@Edent sure others have/will mention it, but try iocaine. It's catching the vast majority of bots on my site without causing issues for humans (that I'm aware of)
Since getting Thriller on vinyl I have listened to Thriller a whole bunch and it simply does not get old
CNN: "... Minutes before the crash, the pilot of the plane reported ice accumulating on the aircraft, an outside air temperature of -47 degrees Celsius, and moderate turbulence, bouncing the plane by up to 700 feet, according to a recording of air traffic control radio calls captured by LiveATC.net.... moments later, after reporting precipitation started to fall and requesting to climb, they declared an emergency.... “We’re descending 8,000 – mayday, mayday - we’re descending 10,000 feet per minute,” the pilot said. “We are in an overspeed condition descending 20,000 feet per minute … We’re going to crash into the ground.”

I swear designers sometimes enjoy trolling devs by sending absolutely perfect screenshots with the message “oh my god, is this in production? Can you fix this!? 🤮”
I try to avoid overtly political content but this one is too crazy to not post.
“Look I haven’t cast my vote yet.”
So you might change your mind, again?

Sam Altman wants to take your RAM
"From a global allocation perspective, actually, it's quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used 5% of the time," Altman said. "You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment. And somehow many people's intuition i

Proprioception (the sense of where your body is in a space, and the thing you need in order to not be clumsy) is something I only discovered I struggled w after discovering I'm #ActuallyAutistic.
Previous to the aha moment, I coped with this by being extremely careful w my body. As I developed through toddlerhood on, my natural inclination was to be very physically cautious. That's why sports & other things were stressful for me & I never enjoyed them. I feel so much empathy and a type of compassionate pride for little me, navigating the scary overwhelming world by taking care of myself that way from the very beginning.
After the aha moment, I suddenly became clumsy when I never had been before. This was UNMASKING! After rapidly learning and synthesizing everything about what it means to be autistic, I was able to drop a lot of masks that were held in place by anxiety as a brute force coping mechanism against the world. I was surprised to become clumsy but it totally made sense.
