My wife has a stack of 9 mostly finished quilts that just need bindings and thread burying, all set to get finished and given out between now and the end of the year.

As of yesterday the stack is down to 8 because the lap quilt destined for my workstation is currently getting its binding.

Deno2 and typescript. For no particular reason the release of Deno2 has prompted me to build a web app in my spare time. I mostly a sysadmin, I haven’t written anything but APIs and utility scripts for at least 5 years.

The House of Hohenzollern in Germany. The Habsburgs formally gave up their claim in order to create the Austro-Hungarian alliance/Empire, but they had asserted it less than a generation prior and also claimed their Empire status on that back of it. And in the Ottoman Empire the lineage of Mehmed, including Mehmed V during WWI, claimed to be the continuation of the Byzantine / Eastern Roman Empire.

The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman empire - we really on refer to them differently for temporal convenience. The west were the Latin speakers and the east were the Greek speakers (as least for the first half-millennium). And many people still called themselves Emperor of Rome, in a continuous succession, after the fall of the west. For quite a while one of the Pope’s titles was (legitimately) Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

By the 20th century it was down to 3 rightful heirs, all trying to make Europe recognize them as THE Emperor. But in the mean time their empires still recognized them as such.

It can be argued that the Roman empire didn’t truly end until WWI in 1918, 106 years ago.

The fall of the Byzantine Empire (aka the Eastern Roman Empire) resulted in a number of subdivided but diplomatically aligned states. By the end of the 19th century a number of European powers were still vying for some claim to the lineage of the Roman Empire (and the Emperor title). But as consequence of the war, the German/Prussian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires we’re all dismantled (and France was out or the running because of the revolution) so every entity with a claim was dead or out of power for the first time since the 11th century.

The ones that I get excited to see new videos from are, in no particular order:

Lindsay Nikole

She’s a biologist and does videos on prehistoric animals and time periods, that we know of. Entertaining videos and it turns out we studied under some of the same people.

acollierastro

Dr. Collier is a theoretical physicist who covers a wide arc a physics topics, and who did a pretty impressive review of Picard.

BobbyBroccoli

Very indepth and well researched videos about science and tech scandals and controversies

Dr Becky

Is an Oxford Astrophysicist who covers a lot of findings about JWT and will point out upcoming things in the night sky

Most of the time I wish the nutrients would just enter my system without me ever having to think or do anything about it. So I get as close to that as possible.

I use the phrase “wide-awake nightmare” kind of a lot.

At least I know where I picked it up from, the Screaming Skull episode of MST3k.

I occasionally hear “catty-corner” too.

They were most notable for producing the last season of Community and airing it inbetween buffering.

I like to put my petty pop-cultural grievances in documentation because I know if someone reads it I’ll probably get an IM on the subject.

“Delete the file and it will disappear forever, like the show Other Space that was never seen again after Yahoo’s short lived streaming service imploded.”

Sigterm: “End this process or next time I bring my -9”

Use the entrance to the Astral Sea nearer the parking garage, over by the Cheesecake Singularity. Way nicer astral neighborhood, though everything costs a bit more mana.

as most level 2 chargers can add ~18 miles/he charging (overnight charge means 144 miles charge).

Level 2 EVSEs (the charger is actually in the car) have a wide cross-section of power delivery. Portable units are usually limited to ~20 amps and will do this level of charge. Installed units with a sufficient circuit can charge at a rate 40 - 60 miles / hour. They are also considerably more expensive and should be installed by an electrician (adding more cost).

For the record, Level 1 EVSE’s (that plug into a US 110v outlet) only do 3 - 5 miles/hour. Important to know for US renters who might not be able to get a 220v circuit to their parking spot.

I’m a lemmonaut

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and was a “Latchkey Kid” so sometimes I feel like my childhood first got the breaks applied when I started having to carry a set of house keys with me all the time.

As someone who’s also needing to replace a 2007 Toyota soon, I am also curious about this. Cars built after about 2015 seem like nightmares of cost cutting (especially in their lack of physical controls) and surveillance.

I’m going to forgo accusing you of being a “dipshit with a nine-toed woman” until we get to know each other better.
