It’s ridiculous. There’s probably a name for the law whereby you have zero trouble dropping thousands on a stock trade but agonize for days over the $14.99 vs $12.99 widget on Amazon. Whatever the condition, I have it.
Taught our 4-year old about static electricity the other day as we were getting the sheets out of the dryer, lots of crackles in the air.
Today he wanted Rice Krispies for breakfast, crackle crackle.
“That’s the electricity, right?“
Love exploring the world through curious kid logic.
Happy Easter everyone.
Anything after the “?” is a parameter, and not part of the page URL itself.
In *most* cases this is unnecessary junk you can remove, in *some* cases it forms part of the request you might need to keep. It’s easy to experiment by just trying it in your browser URL bar. Some parameters have obvious names and purpose, most will not.
For example:
Twitter: s, t - both unnecessary trackers
Facebook: fbclid- unnecessary tracker
YouTube: v, t - these are the actual ids of the video with an optional timestamp, both potentially relevant for you

Given the entire political framework of Western societies (and elsewhere, for various divergent reasons) is now merely the administrative layer for a cabal of
Say you were given the keys to one half of Greenland for a new state. First move (after separating money from state)?
I do wonder if a “jury duty” approach for randomly selected appointees from the citizenry combined with more frequent referendums would provide a better outcome than election cycles and career politicians, which seem destined for inevitable corruption.
Joe the electrician, you have two years as minister for infrastructure - go!
Would it be reasonable to have this downstream of the router provided by (say) Starlink to securely separate local network traffic from IoT stuff? My paranoia here is in the developing stages.
Balaji been on fire recently.
If this “renter’s charter” thing passes up here in Castreau’s Cuba North it’s only going to slash the rental pool, it makes an already shaky proposition untenable for would-be landlords.
At root it’s just a further erosion of property rights. I mean yes, there’s the first order benefit to the CRA in extra taxation…. but also Government now has a room registry, tallies well with globalist migration schemes.
Hi Matthew, the URL from a pasted Twitter/X link looks something like this:
xdotcom/philc411/status/1772703236778000488?s=51&t=bqU-DERO8RCyTR2vWjyt5E
You don’t need anything to the right of the question mark for the link to work, the s=blah and the t=blah are just tags that help X follow your activity around the interwebs and are for their benefit, not yours. They can be safely removed. Facebook and other socials do something similar. Hope that helps, cheers!
Bees super happy in the cherry blossoms this week (volume up!)

Wow you blew through that one quickly! Thanks for the update, will start on that one soon (have just finished 1923 so have a gap in our TV schedule)
Interested to hear what you think. Those books were straight into my lifetime top five and I’m very wary of ruining the movie in my head with a sub-par series. Have heard mixed reviews. I hope you find it rewarding!
There is a curious class of people that “gets” the entire Covid edifice was a lie, yet still believes that the excesses of sinful humanity are to blame for our imminent climate extinction.
It’s exactly the same playbook on a decadal scale. All of it.
Clafoutis for breakfast, with pear. Bit gloomy and wet outside today, good warming fare. #foodstr
Boom XB-1 in the air for the first time.
I miss Concorde; any progress to plug the technological regression of past decades is a welcome development. Let’s get back to pushing boundaries. 
Great, just about to finish 1923 on Apple, this one probably next.
Love a good sci-fi that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Finding it increasingly hard to persevere with For All Mankind and Foundation.
