Franchise

As the sole survivor of a planetary accident, you’ve gotta accessorize and establish a brand before expanding into broader ventures.

Apple is actively maintaining two versions of their OSes, probably because the newest, 16, isn’t ready for general use I guess. So I’ll stick to version 15 in the meantime. Hope they in Cupertino have their stuff in order soon. 📱

Aluminium

Very energy intensive to make, cheap enough for 500 kg on average per person per year to be consumed in foil, cans, cars, airplanes, and what not. It’s so reactive, that it forms a dull layer of oxide on its surface almost immediately, in turn pretty inert.

If I look at two recent races, which were under very unfavorable circumstances (flu vaccination, partial recovery from previous race) common sense tells me to go for a marathon in four hours, however, my average pace and heart rate tells me to go for 3h:45'. I need a coach! 🏃‍♂️

Leave

With all this financial brouhaha going on in my life, the urge to let go of my sanity is rising rapidly. So what to ditch and what to keep? Since I’m likely not the only one, lay-offs are inevitable. First-world problems, for certain. Why can’t that Russian idiot go?

Adjust

With the falling of the leaves I had to turn on the heat in my home. It wasn’t as carefree as in yesteryears, because fuel prices have risen spectacularly, especially of natural gas. I blame Russia.

Something I haven’t seen mentioned is that if micro∙blog isn’t big enough for you, you can go hunting for likeminded people in the Fediverse, so outside our community. The disadvantage is that the wider probably isn’t as well moderated as the Timeline of the blogging platform.

Suspicion

Isn’t it rather odd that a well-dressed man has a third class train ticket in a first class compartment, lending money from a passenger for the surcharge? He obviously is not to be trusted…

Cathode Ray Tube Display

As Adrian Black often explains on his retro computer YouTube channel, cathode ray tubes are disposables, meaning they wear with use. Either they are dim or don’t work at all, but can be revived sometimes, making Adrian exclaim with enthusiasm.

The guys from the Connected Podcast seem to have made up their minds. Twitter is no longer fun, and if matters worsen even more than they’ve already in the past week, no Mastodon, no micro∙blog for them. They’ll just abandon social media altogether. We will see.

While I didn’t finish Inktober, I seem to do better with microblogvember, creating ballpoint sketches. Maybe it’s because the “owner” of Inktober is so onerous, claiming ownership (with copyright claims) over what was a community project to begin with.

Yes Minister

A British political satire sitcom aired on BBC2 from 1980 to 1984. It follows the ministerial career of Jim Hacker in his struggle to govern in opposition of a conservative civil service, personified by permanent secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Certain

There seem to be no absolutes in the world we inhabit.

Pearl of wisdom. Doing the thing should be a reward in itself. External and delayed rewards are off-putting in the long run. This is why public likes and follows are so damaging for a creative individual, a harmful goal to achieve for, since one cannot influence what others like.

Consensus

For people to agree on anything, they all first need to know what to do, why to do it, and who it’s for.

InSight

This lander-explorer is packed with instruments to probe the interior of the Red Planet.

Echo chamber of greatness

dun-dun-dun-dunnn

Thusly most remember the famous fifth symphony by Ludwig Von Beethoven. It’s part of Western culture, and it sounds through everything we do so much, we don’t even hear it anymore.

After having gone through the HTML Tutorial on W3Schools at almost breakneck speed (for my doing), I’ve hit a roadblock at HTML Layout. I guess I need to study this more thoroughly before continuing. HTML5 certainly was a step up from previous versions.

Printers. They are affordable nowadays, compared to twenty years ago. However, this affordability comes with a constant need to fix problems that in the olden dot-matrix days didn’t need fixing 🖨💩😖

Exempt

As a home renter I wasn’t aware of the protection home owners get in certain states of the USA.
