got it midmorning, 1st 8 hours, just a little soreness on my arm, maybe a tiny bit of tingling or numbness in that armafter 10 hours, feeling off just a little, not 100%. hard to distinguish from end-of-day/week tirednessafter 12 hours, headache, flush, the shakes. worst I felt since I had what I guessed then was flu 6 or 7 years ago. went to bed bundled up.

So someone made reference recently to "upstate New York" and we had a bit of a discussion about how aspecific that is.I finally decided to try to quantify it a little further. Picking three points, NYC itself, Champlain in the far northeast, and Ripley in the far SW:Ripley and Champlain are 703km from each other and would take 8h47m to drive.Both are at least 500km from NYC and would take more than 6h to drive.this is according to routing given by OpenStreetMap

Maybe instead of saying something is available "for free" we should say it's "gratuitously available"."gratuitous" having both the sense of "in the manner of a gift" but also "unjustified or unnecessary; not called for by the circumstances"https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gratuitous#English

I think many people a) don't get it, that copyright is *automatic*b) conflate licensing with copyrightc) shoot the messenger, as if by talking about licensing we're to *blame* for making things messyinstead, they were *already* messy

So, just to get the scale of this thing now, if they were all in one place, the >600,000 people that have died would rank right around our 30th biggest city, between Louisville (~580K) and Milwaukee (~620K)

Not sure who needs to hear this, but just in case you don't know: Vaccines mostly help those who, you know, actually *get* them. Fewer than half have done so though in many of the states being hard hit now. It's no wonder, really.

I knew manual transmission demand and production were in decline, but was a little shocked that Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini had stopped using them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JuyDN0qzRY

doing that thing now for a full day where I translate back & forth between standard & daylight savings time in my head to try to stay on track despite the shift in actual versus targeted wake times, light clues, grumbling tummies and suchhad been putting off the dog's evening routine to try to ease into things. calmed myself down yesterday about it not being as "late" as it felt so that I didn't have to rush away from getting my steps in. thinking today I need to prioritize getting out while light out.

@claudiom @calculsoberic oof. It's different every time, but also strangely always the same: Deep, powerful magic is dangerous.

I guess this is going to be one of those things I risk alienating people tired of hearing me repeating whenever it seems applicable, but: Every car owner/operator who lives where snow happens, but infrequently enough to have proper infrastructure for it, should be required to carry a set of tire chains during forecasted winter weather emergencies. As in, curfew, stay off the roads *unless* you have them. You don't need the state to tell you to do this, though. Get some.

On this the first full day dawning on The Twilight of the Independent But Original Wordle, my most auspicious result!I got it in two. First guess had the middle three letters correct, the last one out of place. Swap that to the only remaining slot at the front, fill in the now obvious last letter and ... done!

@jz space travel has always had militaristic overtones (as usually represented in fiction) or ties (as implemented).We risk playing into revanchist, regressive myths about some golden past and demoralizing those following a better vision if we don't recognize and acknowledge this.

the way I've started to think about this is "if you're new to being against war, welcome! though this may be the first war you've actively opposed, there are many other wars--ongoing or only recently in a period of decline--which have also generated horrifying death, destruction, and injustice against which we can also use your help"
