In 1996 I moved to Japan to teach English, and spent most of my first month's pay on this: The Sharp Color Zaurus MI-10, the first PDA with a color screen. Allow me to introduce it to you. (A thread.) 1/11

Re: Misinfo
(Okay, just so we can be clear, as if the misinfo CW wasn't enough, no, this obviously doesn't happen. The only way to make oxygen into fluorine is nuclear fusion, which doesn't just spontaneously happen.)
Misinfo
Oxygen absorbing hydrogen is a threat with hydroxyl groups in general. That's why sugar eventually decays. Too much fluorine and not enough OH.

And rest assured that, while I did try to make the site look a little nicer, I did not go overboard with anything. It's still just about as slim as it used to be
Big(ish) news! I've updated my website! I've decided to do away with the HTML 4.01 Transitional compatibility in order to make use of stuff in HTML 5 that helps with accessibility. Hopefully it helps someone
I've also put out a new blog post, a follow-up of sorts to the new year's post I did last year:

If you clicked on a link & someone stole your account that's not hacking, that's phishing.
If you accidentally posted a secret key somewhere & someone stole your account that's not hacking, that's being careless.
"Getting hacked" became this catch-all bogeyman term & I hate it

Even though cars suck, I don't want to ban them completely β some critters need them, and they're also invaluable for things like hauling large or even semi-large objects around, anything that's too big to haul long distances comfortably.
But let's get people who /can/ use public transit on public transit when feasible. Clear up the roads for the times when people actually /need/ cars, and there'll probably be a lot less accidents.
So apparently Humble Bundle decided that it would stop supporting macOS and Linux in two weeks, leaving two weeks for people to download their game for those platforms, not getting updates for them anymore, and also shutting down ability to download from the site, forcing you to go through their new Windows only launcher.
So I'll take this opportunity to make a casual reminder that there is nothing humble about humble bundle anymore.
Fun fact: my interest in collars started well before I actually got into collars. Years ago, I wanted to build a wearable haptic compass and I decided it would be a collar. A collar made out of EL tape, no less. I should really revive that whole idea. I actually have budget now, after all, as well as the skills needed.
I'll get back to y'all on that.
