Es werden immer wieder Fotos ausgefüllter Stimmzettel gepostet. Zur Klarstellung: Bei der Briefwahl gilt das Fotografieren/Verbreiten des eigenen ausgefüllten Stimmzettels nicht als Verstoß. Außerhalb der Wahlkabine darf man die eigene Wahlentscheidung öffentlich machen.

We're planning to scan 100 ancient Roman scrolls this year and we urgently need to hire a contractor to help us design the cases that hold the scrolls while they are in the particle accelerator.

Job is immediately available and work needs to be completed in the next 4 weeks. If you can do this, please email a specific technical plan of how you would go about it to [email protected]. Pay is good!

Thank you!!

@alexthechick I wonder what @tylercowen makes of this.
(It also reminds me of the story of the 📏 . If you can’t be sure it’s correct you might as well measure the 📏 with the table instead of the other way around)

@patio11 Did @SwiftOnSecurity read @patio11 tweet about the impressiveness of hand crafted digital worlds or vice versa?

Friends, this holiday season, try to reach out to those who have little of no friends, no family, and no reason to cheer. They may be involuntarily stuck in a state of loneliness. They don't need your money; they don't need your gifts.
Maybe just a little bit of attention.

@SwiftOnSecurity Isn‘t a lot of our trash shipped to Asia for „recycling“? So the heaps of garbage that you see in some Asian countries, garbage that eventually may end up in the ocean, is mostly out trash.

Problems are often described by their size. "Hey, that's a big problem". Or "Eh, that's just a little issue, no big deal." And if you do hear someone say “serious” you immediately think huge. It’s still about size.

I sometimes still use those descriptors, but I'm trying to use them less. Instead, I’m reframing problems as High or Low.

High problems seep. They stain. They coat what's below, like melted frosting dripping down a cake. Gravity always wins, and high problems eventually become low problems too.

You see this in relationships. Little problems don't add up to big ones - it's the big ones that create the small ones. Something small really annoying you about someone? Good chance it's because something bigger is annoying you more. High problems leaking down, staining what’s underneath.

You see this in organizations. People bickering about flaws in someone's work or style? It's not because all is right above - it's because something's spilling from above. Bad hiring, lax oversight, proper examples not being set. High problems are like water hitting dry sponges — they don't just soak in, they make everything swell and distort, turning small issues into bigger ones than they should be.

While it's possible for small things to pile up and color what’s above, that direction is rare. So when you encounter low problems - especially ones that wouldn't seem noteworthy to an uninvolved observer — it's safer to assume they're symptoms of something bleeding from above, rather than growing from below.

@JessePeltan @kon_418 That‘s exactly what Solar Roadways does. They had (have) a grander vision but the more doable thing which they already do is pave parking lots and driveways with solar panels

@SwiftOnSecurity Not exactly a WfH/VPN story but is my favorite infosec airplane aware of the news from Germany regarding a spy planted at the Leipzig Airport.
(Yes, that’s the one where they shot the Captain America: Civil War fight scene)
