Hey one of my suppliers has a deal on Dell U2723QE 27" monitors for just AU$675 including GST and delivery in Australia. I got one of these and it's great kit, and the supplier is awesome, based in Newtown in Sydney. Thoroughly legit. Let me know asap and I'll put you in touch.

Rest in violence, #Blaseball. I think of all the bedlam I'll most miss @anacrusisnt and @MarioPrime.

(No doubt they already have food safety plans as otherwise food poisoning in space strikes me as probable and newsworthy but she’d no doubt expect the same given that’s her field… maybe she’s somewhere between dead curious and having a line of study in mind?)

[garthk @garthk]

⁦@drspacejunk⁩ to the courtesy phone? Sarah Taber says she wants to talk to ISS about food safety plans. Maybe she’s already sorted but if not maybe randos tweeting can help. Did you ever get hold of some ISS rubbish? https://t.co/rjBatRSOzD

Turns out there’s a term for our misguided confidence in a dashboard full of happy green lines: “surrogation”. https://t.co/qtUSXdgE0h

Also, there’s a tendency in management to believe deliberately pretending the map is the territory helps their underlings.

again asking the media not to indulge a second of Labor's "the best form of welfare is a job" stuff

take 1 second to look at the cohort on jobseeker. the largest group is women over 50.

10% of the cohort are homeless. 40+% disabled. these ppl can barely survive, let alone work

@K4y1s @mipsytipsy @LaunchDarkly @wiredferret Well, yeah, but y’all can’t say they didn’t warn you? I haven’t heard a feature flag pitch that didn’t call out the urgency of pruning feature flags once you’d turned them on to 100%.

I love this. Goes for pretty much any software-adjacent specialty discipline: security, QA, SRE, design, etc.

I'm telling you, precision-targeted ultra-high conversion Pig Butchering' scams on an absolutely massive scale. On the upside less human trafficking and enslavement of operators, but unless you get some firewalls up grandmas going to empty her bank account out.

How dare you accuse me of hating trees? It quite clearly says, "I love trees" on my chainsaw.

After this sequence of 38 photographs was taken in February of 1990, sister ship Voyager 1's camera systems were shut down forever. There were no more targets that could be usefully imaged. My cameras had already been shut down the previous October. Photo: Caltech/JPL/NASA
