This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around.

Definitely garlic mustard. Should be purple at the base of the stems, and the root will have a bit of a hook to it.

I spend a lot of time clearing this stuff in my wooded yard, as it’s highly invasive.

The original weblog post with technical details

TL;DR: The song was unique that it used a slightly shifted tuning compared to standard musical scales. A low E in the shifted scale matched a 5400 rpm laptop drive’s resonant frequency, which caused the drive to error out on reads temporarily and eventually crash the OS.

A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!

No Mail Monday, but I won’t remember until I check it anyways.

I came to the finish line of my basement cleanout project yesterday. Only took a year - you got this!

I’d love to know all of that. I just don’t ever trust a private corporation to safeguard my highly personal and unique DNA information from:

• a foreign scammer looking to make a buck
• my government looking to close a case
• a foreign government looking for kompromat
• a health care company looking for reasons to deny coverage.

It’s too easy for a company to skimp on staff and digital security and then say “we’re soooo sowwwy, have 3 months of identity fraud protection on us” if they find a breach.

Oh no! Anyway…

The man was taken into custody for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol, which is against the law, Warrick said. Weapons can be brought into the Capitol if they are concealed and the person has a valid permit. The man arrested did not have a concealed carry permit, Warrick said.

The crime wasn’t being a raving lunatic with a gun - it was the lack of paperwork and a shirt to conceal it!

This is why we need new legislative maps in Wisconsin.

Matt wants to get back to his true passion project of owning teenage girls.

Also, is it just me or does he bear an uncanny resemblance to Richard Nixon in the picture?

We aren’t going to put him down over a stray comma. Figuratively or literally.

I settled on Memmy early on as the least buggy app, but I like Voyager quite a bit as well. I might switch if they let me change the color of upvote/downvote arrows to what my brain expects.

Joke’s on them - I’m into legislators being comfortable with sexuality.

I took up biking about 3 years ago, and I definitely have a lot less nervous energy after a ride and can focus on mental tasks better. The post-workout endorphin high may be part of it.

BTW - not personally experienced with ADHD; just came across this in All.

City of the Sun is some fantastic Latin-inspired instrumental post-rock. (That’s probably drivel, idk what genre they are).

Their cover of Young Folks is how I found them, but their self-titled album from 2020 is probably one of my favorites of the last several years. It’s a good balance of calming serenades and powerful melodies.

Hon. mention - The Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood is another old favorite of mine. Angrier and edgier, but still haunting in its own way.

The Beastie Boys also have a couple fantastic instrumental jam albums - The In Sound From Way Out, and The Mix-Up.

In 2016, the school’s co-founder and director, Susan Gayle Clark, was convicted of child neglect and failing to report and was sentenced to six months in jail.

In the US, that’s the maximum single dose. What is it for your country?
