@CowboyWho @best_of_mltshp We now see people who want the rigid hierarchies but they don't want to believe in them, not really. They want to be like the "cool boss" who doesn't wear a suit, but you best not forget they are the boss. And this feels like such a bad deal for most of us to me. At least if a king must wear a crown it can weigh on him and be heavy.

@cstross This is something this tech is really good at!

Technically everyone is in the African Diaspora if you take a deep enough cut of the history. So, it's basically the most important cultural article improvement project ever. (More seriously: The Project focuses on material in the era of recorded history and forward only. So "out of Africa" is far beyond our scope.)

@johncarlosbaez Sometimes cool things really do exist!

@goaty This is pretty cool!

@ai6yr Dropped in void space of house being constructed, in 1958. Same year as I was under construction!

@lopta @spacehobo @futurebird @oxidecomputer to me the most impressive part is where they completely replaced the BIOS with their own firmware, written from scratch in rust, that is co-designed with the kernel.But also, close to OP's point, they designed the rack so that the owner never does any cable management within the rack. E.g. when you need to add another motherboard, you just slide it into an empty slot, and the back of it auto-connects to DC power & network cables.

@cathos @futurebird I think exploring the depths of depravity can lead to interesting findings.Don't ask for the best way to make tea. Invent increasingly worse ones.Wear a necklace of tea bags while showering. The waste water is "tea". Yes, including the soap.Just chew the leaves. But teabags on a sandwich. Put some tea in your coffee.Morning dew on grass? That's tea.Spaghetti water is also tea because wheat is a plant.A cigarette bud floating in your beer? Tea.

@elight basically

@futurebird the scrambled directions of modern technology ...

Here's a curious specimen seen today on our class tour of the Allan Herbarium today in Lincoln. It's a giant *Ruppia* seed ball collected from Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere in Canterbury NZ. This large seed ball likely accumulated over many decades. It is an echo of a time before 1968 when the lagoon had clear water and aquatic plants like this grew along its floor stabilising the sediment. Everything changed in the Wahine storm of 1968 and the lagoon has been murky since.#botany #nz #herbarium

@PeterLG Well let's hope they win the schism I suppose.
