Maybe I'm just bad at hair. :)

Need more time than that to grow the hair out, but you best get started.

Pete Hoekstra needs the same treatment. Contemptible sacks of shit, both of them. Probably others.

Hymn of Breaking Strain, Kipling

1 The careful text-books measure (Let all who build beware!) The load, the shock, the pressure Material can bear. So, when the buckled girder Lets down the grinding span, The blame of loss, or murder, Is laid upon the man. Not on the Stuff—the Man! 2 But in our daily dealing With stone and steel, we find The Gods have no such feeling Of justice toward mankind. To no set gauge they make us— For no laid course prepare— And presently o'ertake us With loads we cannot bear: Too merciless to bear.
3 The prudent text-books give it In tables at the end– The stress that shears a rivet Or makes a tie-bar bend— What traffic wrecks macadam— What concrete should endure— But we, poor Sons of Adam Have no such literature, To warn us or make sure! 4 We hold all Earth to plunder— All Time and Space as well— Too wonder-stale to wonder At each new miracle; Till, in the mid-illusion Of Godhead 'neath our hand, Falls multiple confusion On all we did or planned— The mighty works we planned. 5 We only of Creation (Oh, luckier bridge and rail!) Abide the twin damnation—
To fail and know we fail. Yet we–by which sure token We know we once were Gods— Take shame in being broken However great the odds— The Burden or the Odds. 6 Oh, veiled and secret Power Whose paths we seek in vain, Be with us in our hour Of overthrow and pain; That we–by which sure token We know Thy ways are true— In spite of being broken, Because of being broken, May rise and build anew. Stand up and build anew!

Saaaame. Dude would 100% support loading me into a train to the camps in the right circumstances.

Not an issue I have at the tip of my tongue, so if that's a gotcha, consider me got. :)

It's a big tent, and they let the Nazis in. So now it's a Nazi bar, and kicking them out would now be a Problem.

Wow. I'm not not even mad about that. Quite the self own. What a child.

 

They are cats.

 

On the ravine heading to the Mystery Lake transition cave, looking between a couple rocks, I see this, looking maybe north-northwest.

I'm betting that's the road to Keeper's Pass, after the prisoner transport bus tunnel cave-in.

Pretty neat, never noticed it before.

I've been wondering whether it's better for memory pages to be compressed at the hypervisor level, or on the VM level.

I'm leaning toward the VM level, because

1: VMs have better knowledge of memory pressure by the application, and can better decide when to swap pages out to zram. The VM has access to information about memory pages that the hypervisor doesn't have.

2: if pages are compressed on the hypervisor level, the VM doesn't "see" any increased memory available. The host box gains free memory, but the application never sees it to make use of it, it'll just see the same 8GB as it always has, so it never really benefits. This maybe lets you host more VMs on one box, but at the cost of the applications not being as efficient.

Is this a reasonable position? I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

It really lays bare some missing pieces. Like there's no road that goes to Mountain Town currently that connects into the wider network. And the future rail link after it terminates in Coastal Highway certainly has to go north to either Port Mary or Perseverance Mills.

 

I learned two things today.

1: the quonset in CH is named "Quincy's Quonset".

2: It has what looks like an EV charger station now. Nice. That was definitely not the case a few years ago.

I'm a little choked up.

18 years is a pretty good run for a cat, but yeah.

 

Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Interesting comment on a post.

Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.

 
 

Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.
