Celebrating 5 years as a full-time employee in my current company. 5.5 years total, including my initial stint as a contractor.
I'm not doing the same things I was when I joined, I don't have the same title or rank, I'm still being challenged and growing in my professional role, and I have great colleagues supporting me and being supported by me. ๐ฅฐ
As long as these things stay true, I don't mind another 5 years here. We're not running out of things to do any time soon.

School day? Suddenly?
How do we go about this again? It's been a while.

Kid likes playing the Roblox horror game "Doors". The other day it received a long-awaited update that introduced lots of new levels ("rooms"), monsters and puzzles. Now 120k+ people are playing the game at any given moment. Over 1M people have played the new extended version.
I was out for a walk and when I came back his face was glowing. He's one of the first 5k people who managed to pass room 150! Now a few hours later, 10k more people have passed the room after he did.

It should've been obvious since the 90s that @wilw Wheaton was a good trans ally, and would probably be an excellent father to a trans kid.Here he is in season 4 of TNG demonstrating just how skilled he is at being transparent

I love nerds. Nerds are a precious resource, and there are more types of them/us than you can imagine. People who dive deep into a subject and know more about it than you cared to imagine could be known are to be treasured. Here are the Muppet nerds, discussing Muppet media sourcing:
Honestly, Disney+ is the best, most complete version of the show weโve ever had. There are only about a dozen episodes with missing sketches.[ . . . ]
With all due respect, I disagree. The DVDs of all 3 seasons are more comprehensive.I was talking more as a whole since we never got seasons 4 and 5 on DVD. That said, I agree about seasons 2 and 3, but season 1 is actually missing more content on DVD than it is on Disney+.
Not if you buy the German release.
Tell me more!

Ewa Janina Kลobukowska (born 1 October 1946) is a Polish former sprinter. [ . . . ]
The sex test used for European Cup women's track and field competition in Kyiv in 1967 wrongly identified her as not female, and Kลobukowska was subsequently banned from competing in professional sports.
In 1968, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
The IAAF erased the three world records set by Kลobukowska, including the two team records in the 4ร100 m relay.

The synopsis sounds like a pretty cool film. Sadly apparently the execution was hopelessly bad and jumbled.

"A Brief History of Men Today Are Too Feminine and Women Too Masculine"
It's brief because it only explores headlines and ledes going back to 1886 and doesn't include Herodotus and Hippocrates commenting on Scythian warrior women over two millennia ago.

We also have amber, red, black rain storm warning, lightning storm warning, northern districts flood warning and a few others, and businesses and institutions will have operational manuals that decide who goes to work under what conditions, and what other preparations should be taken.
Recently, unions, government and businesses have been developing a new heat index for regulating outdoor work, as a response to the increasing spells of hot weather.

@Doug Whitfield [Minneapolis] It's the Hong Kong Observatory's own system, introduced in the early 20th century with several revisions until the 1970s.
There is an international rating, but I'm not familiar with how it works.
The HKO typhoon warning rating is directly tied to institutional responses:
T1 is triggered by the distance to a typhoon from Hong Kong and is a warning only, no particular operational response.
T3, T8 and T10 are tied to wind speeds and cause certain institutions and businesses to shut down, go into mobilization, etc.

The new promenade has a thick wall against the sea, and it has drain holes along the bottom of the wall at regular intervals, so that the water can retreat. It probably has other, less visible improvements as well, to the internal structures of the bridges, bike road, etc.
Is it more resilient? A year ago, September 2023, we were hit with Typhoon Saola, the first T10 since Mangkhut in 2018. The day after, the promenade looked no different than the day before, as if nothing had happened.
Civil engineering! It works!
