Pauncho thinks I don't do housework right so he chips in to lick the cleaning spray off the fridge. I then have to rush to wipe it before he gets to it. It's now a smudgy mess.

RIP Good Boy.

TRYING TO FIND YOUR OLD TWITTER NETWORK?
After the great API shutoff, a lot of the services that people have been utilising to find their old Twitter networks no longer work.
Fedifinder is one of the few that is still up and running (I confirmed it myself this morning).
It isn't as seamless as some of the older methods, but can still be used in mere minutues to find users and easily follow them on Mastodon using the Import feature.
This video guide walks through the whole process from start to finish.
Please #Boost this to spread the word around your networks as much as possible.

By disrupting the polar vortex and displacing cold air into parts of Europe and N. America, SSWs can influence our weather for weeks.
There are uncertainties about their factual impacts or the link to climate change.
Yet, it is fascinating that our prediction systems, based on models and meteorological data can forecast these complex extreme weather phenomena.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
