I'd pay attention to the wording used. When discussing headcount do they ever say "full time?"

The average beard is composed of 120,000 follicles, so if you pull out / lose 100 hairs per day then (assuming a random distribution) your average beard hair age will reach equilibrium at 3.29 years.

These are the weird math problems I find myself doing late at night.

A butthurt Mastodon user reported one of my toots that refuted a claim that Bitcoin is a scam.

But here's the thing: I'm a sovereign Mastodon user. I admin my own server (lopp.social).

After a thorough investigation I have determined that I followed my own rules! ๐Ÿคฃ

Looks like archive.today is the latest site to block VPN users. Super lame.

If you try to import a CSV with a million rows into Google Sheets you're gonna have a bad time.

I've had several neighbors over the years who were TSA agents, so it was interesting to observe them outside of work.

My conclusion was that they tend to be extremely average: intelligent enough to follow orders but not intelligent enough to question them.

I don't fear death; I expect it will be as peaceful as pre-birth.

I do fear that my words and thoughts will fail to be preserved and all traces of my existence will be lost. That is the ultimate death.

It's the "Edition" theme for Ghost. Looks like the fonts are "Mulish" and "Lora"

For sovereignty to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Sovereignty only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society.

Which sucks by default. It's fine with Reddit Enhancement Suite. But I don't think that's an option on mobile in Vanadium browser.

A couple weeks ago the Relay for Reddit app I've used for many years stopped working because the developer added a dependency on Google Play services to force paid subscriptions. GrapheneOS doesn't play well with that.

So I begrudgingly switched to the Infinity app. Well, this week it appears they started blocking all known VPN and data center IP addresses.

I hate this recurring feeling as a Cypherpunk that the walls keep closing in.

That feeling when you realize a number crunching script you launched several days ago had the wrong parameters passed into it. ๐Ÿ˜‘

Gigabrain gigachad move: use your healthcare savings account to pay for suppressors. It's PPE: hearing protection!

There is such a thing as being too close to a fireworks ๐ŸŽ† show. It's hard to enjoy the view when you have soot raining down upon you and getting in your eyes.
