    Ya know, when hermit crabs find a new shell and it’s too big for them they sit next to it. Others come try it and if its too big for them they sit next to it too.

    But what’s interesting is they line up by size, with the largest crab closest to the shell.

    Finally, when a big crab comes by and the shell fits, he drops the old one and the next largest crab gets it. That second crab drops his old one and the next crab gets it, etc, etc. All the crabs in line get a new shell as soon as the crab in front of them moves into their new shell.

    So, yeah. I’d watch hermit crabs all day if I could too.




    1. I liked fooling with computers and installed it just to see what it was. I went through several distros over the next few years, Mandrake, Suse, Red Hat, compiled Gentoo from scratch, and finally settled on Slackware. It was my only OS for 14-15 years until I started a business in 2016 and needed software that’s only available in Windows. I only use Windows on my PC now because my computer does weird boot stuff that screws up dual boots and I don’t really use the PC that much anyway. I still use Linux on small servers for media and home automation








  • The significance is that if they ask for a speedy trial in Fulton County, the court is obligated to give it to them within the current 2 month court cycle or the next, and if they can’t go to trial in that time, the case is dropped and they go free.

    Nobody really wants to go to trial that fast, not only because it’s hard to prepare the case that quickly, but it also limits the amount of pre-trial motions they can do.

    It seems likely they were hoping Fani Willis couldn’t go to trial that fast and they could just walk free, but Willis was like “I’m cool with that. I can do this shit tomorrow if you want” and now they’ll get their speedy trial, which means their defense will be rushed and a little hamstrung.

    These people aren’t smart.




  • I absolutely love this: “The Miami Herald published an article in 1981 about an 89-year-old man named Sammy James. James had worked for decades as a crate nailer and said his fast moves earned him the nickname, “The Nailer.””

    His job title was a crate nailer, but he got the nickname from his fast moves. That’s like being so good at operating the cash register you earn the nickname “The Cashier”
