New piece of ridiculousness from MB&F & L'epee 1839

The Fifth Element, it's a desktop weather station

MB&F stuff is always fun

Things that confuse me about the US medical system #32147:

Brand names for all medication

Especially when there are multiple brand names

Let's take a simple over the counter medication as an example: Addaprin, Advil, Bufen, Caldolor, Cap-Profen, EmuProfen, Genpril, Haltran, I-Prin, Ibuprohm, Ibu-Tab, Midol, Motrin, Nuprin, Proprinal, and Q-Profen

IT'S JUST IBUPROFEN DAMNIT, YOU DON'T NEED THAT MANY NAMES FOR IT

Every 5 years or so they start teasing these fabrics made with shape memory alloys

"Just put a hair dryer up to it and it'll get rid of all the creases and look nicely ironed with no effort" they say

Do these miraculous clothes ever make it to market? Like fuck do they

(just did the ironing, I hate ironing)

Thanks BBC, but I'm not sure "Putin wins Russian election" is breaking news

It's a bit like putting out push notifications that the sun rose in the sky this morning

octopuses are 🅱️oneless vertebrates

Fun fact: Octopuses are classed, under EU law, as honourary vertebrates with all the protections and responsibilities that entails

(there aren't actually any responsibilities, we just muck about all day)

The Daily Mail's youtube channel has been banned for violating the community guidelines

LOL

I should get one of those openPGP cards

I've got a yubikey but the full size cards feel so much more cybre

me: I can't remember regex, it's far too complicated

also me: here's a vim command that looks like my cat wandered over the keyboard, that should do what you're looking for

COMPUTERFAIRI.ES: WE HAVE BACKUPS

I think

Pretty sure @squirrel said something about having backups
