I left a job over a decade ago because they selected Microsoft Server over the objections of the entire IT and software staff. I was just like, “Deuces✌🏼Enjoy your progress bars that aren’t even accurate.”

Walt Disney would never have endorsed this except in his 1938 cartoon “Nazi Superheroes are Our Superiors.”

Those aren’t binary. I don’t know. It’s a 2.5 sigma result. Based on our limited sample size, more data is needed.
Having a shitty apartment that never lost power, water, or heat in a major city when I was 23 is probably the most unbelievable part of this story, to be honest. I didn’t care if it was haunted.
Ghosts can’t even touch you. I’m not paying $400 a month extra for no ghosts. Float on through. Give me the haunted place, a sleeping bag, and a 13 inch TV. I’ll negotiate with the ghosts.
You know what, though? My power and plumbing never went out. I was apparently on the White House grid. Aliens could have been the answer and I’d have been like, “My toilet flushes and I have a heater even in blizzards. Aliens aren’t my business.”
I do that all the time. No big deal.
Is there a link?
Zelda - Link to the Past. I had so much fun playing Link Between Worlds.
I live in an extremely blue city in an extremely red state so I’ll be sitting in the fabled catbird seat.
Good. There was a scientific paper in the last week that didn’t fully discredit lab leak theory but made an extremely persuasive case—based on genetic analysis—that it was spread from bats to other mammals who were then hunted and brought to the wet market by randos.
Original paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867425003538

China (responsibly, to stop the spread) did cull some animals between the bat cave and Wuhan. No one who cares about science will ever say something with 100% certainty unless it breaks the laws of physics or whatever. And we’ll never find the pangolin (or whatever) someone sold at the wet market. But very little from scientists points to lab leak. It’s all political actors making that claim.
I, personally, grew up in the swamp so I just have a machete and pocket sand. And pocket glitter if it comes to that.

Louisiana voters reject all four constitutional amendments, despite Gov. Jeff Landry's support

Clowned.
This isn’t a great photo. I was sitting outside in Moab, UT playing with the night sky app. The bright dot right above the hilltops is the ISS. Taken with an iPhone 15 Pro on default settings (3 second exposure in the dark) so it’s not that far off from the actual view.
I live in a city but I’m near a dark sky site right now so I’ve been having a ball with just my binoculars and a camera phone.

I hope they pretended to be enthusiastic like when a cat brings you a dead mouse in exchange for all the cat food you’ve given them over the years.
