@futurebird To the best of my understanding, if it's a vegetable that comes from the grocery store, it's either a nightshade or a brassica.Hope this helps. đ

@futurebird I presume this is the thing you're talking about?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kz5vEqdaScThey lost me at "autonomous services by 'leveraging' 'AI'."I heard "designed by world leading architects"âmy dad would have died in paroxysms of laughter. He worked in construction for most of his adult life, & had nothing good to say about architects. "It may be pretty af, but you can't â˘buildâ˘My first thought is: the region you're building this in has no wind, is what I'm getting? >

@futurebird @outsidecontext Am I reading you correctly that you're generally in favor of this design?

@futurebird I was lucky in that my mother was very savvy as a household finance manager. (My dad was...rather less so. Which may be why my mom was so fierce about it.)Every year, we got a gift certificate from Monkey Ward for keeping our bill paid up,* which she'd give to me, & point out the reason we got it.I cam out of childhood regarding consumer debt roughly as dangerous as heroin. Haven't had reason to change that assessment. >

@futurebird Two months. & then we could also go back to a proper 10-month Roman calendar.

@Nonilex I really hope Denmark's lawmakers are fast-tracking legislation saying that Greenlanders may accept the funds free and clear, while Greenland retain full jurisdiction over the property. I.e., the payments become unencumbered donations to residents of Greenland, & any contracts signed with US entities are by default null & void.

@futurebird It's probably a missing or extra comma, quote, or paren.

@futurebird Speaking for myself only, I've had some success actually budgeting for the innevitable freakout. It's â˘gonna⢠happen. It's just a matter of whether or not it produces the meta-freakout....

@futurebird @nazokiyoubinbou Some years ago, somebody hipped me to the whole Ask v Guess thing, which explained a â˘lot⢠of the communication fails I've experienced. More recently, a friend put me onto "Occult Grammar", which seems possibly even more explanatory. (The meat starts in the 2nd part, but Part 1 has some good framing, incl a link to the original explanation of Ask v Guess.)https://blog.izs.me/2025/11/ogc-1-what-is-occult-grammar/

@emsenn @meltedcheese @growfediverse @mekkaokereke FWIW, I most definitely mean Truth & Reconcilliation in the sense of the formal international legal framework established by Desmond Tutu.I absolutely believe that the US political system would benefit from a little tune-up from the Hague.Maybe have the US sign onto the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while we're about it?Never happen. Certainly unlikely in my lifetime. But a cavy can dream.

@su_liam @emsenn @meltedcheese Yep. We need to ratchet that shit. & reinstate supporting infrastructure, like rebuilding public education, so people know the history & can access a fucking clue.

@futurebird My hack for that would be to show two other ways, also. Then, if they still give me lip, go all "But wait! There's more!"But I'm also not a professional teacher, so I'm blowing smoke out my ear.

This is one of those ideas that's obvious once you hear it said out loud, butâI needed to hear it?I've been putting extra effort into allowing myself to drop low-priority balls this week....

Not unrelatedly, I took a juggling class with Avner the Eccentric at a Minicon in Minneapolis way back in the Olden Days (Early '80s?). The one exercise that stuck with me most clearly was the first one: The Drop.If you can't do The Drop, you can't juggle.It took me some years to actually unpack that lession: to succeed, you have to be willing to fail first.Looking to see if he had anything about this online, I found this little gem:https://avnertheeccentric.com/eccentric_principles.php#Juggling #AvnerTheEccentric
