       @futurebird I want the major-seventh angelic choir sound that newer Honda hybrids emit when the ICE is not running.

       @futurebird have you tried Dr. Enuf? It can only be purchased in the NE corner of Tennessee. It’s made by the same company that invented Mountain Dew and then sold it to PepsiCo. Contains caffeine and is supposedly fortified with vitamins.

       @futurebird Isn’t this addressed, but with a centipede, in “James and the Giant Peach”? (The book, not the movie.)

       @futurebird I’ve heard people make the argument from Genesis that the snake had feet until God cursed it after Adam and Eve ate the fruit.

       @futurebird I took trig as part of "Advanced Math" my senior year in high school, & absolutely loved it. What I didn't love, & what eventually burnt me out on math in uni, was calculus. Linear algebra was the last straw.At the time I didn't know I was #AuDHD, & just figured I was lazy. Turns out I've never really been able to concentrate on studying, & when I reached the point where I could no longer coast on natural ability, I failed out.Changed majors from CS to Lit, & managed to graduate.

       @futurebird My dad grew up attending a two-room schoolhouse in northwest Illinois, where left-handedness was not allowed. He always wrote with his right hand (with beautiful penmanship) but drew and painted with his left. All his life he had terrible difficulty distinguishing between “left” and “right” directions, though.

       @foone Considering that the multiocular O is attested in one single manuscript, I am not opposed to its removal from the Unicode standard.

       @futurebird One of my favorite 20th century operas. I had it on CD but it got lost somewhere along the line. Henry Kissinger is amazing!Unfortunately I’ve never had a chance to see a production.

       I have a friend who has been using Duolingo to learn Scots Gaelic. She feels a deep sense of betrayal at the firing of humans in favor of AI; the Scots Gaelic program was a labor of love by a very small group of volunteers.Are there any other decent apps or online programs teaching Scots Gaelic?Please boost for reach.#Duolingo #ScotsGaelic

       People have been posting this "AI-hater" link around because it is thoroughly well-reasoned and well-written.https://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.htmlI am posting it for an entirely different reason, even though its content is wonderful. You'll notice the page contains no images. And if you view source, you will discover that it contains no JavaScript either.The page itself is 11kb. The CSS is slightly less than 7kb. There are no other payloads.Developers, can we please build more of the web like this?

       It's curious to consider that a webpage today that is considered tiny would have taken up more than one-fourth of the directly addressable memory for the 6502 processor.
