It was literally freezing if you went up in the hills a few hundred meters above sea level. If the weather freaks out just a little bit more, maybe next Christmas we can get snow.

I put my winter clothes back in their drawer yesterday, so *of course* it suddenly became colder today and I took the nice warm fleece jacket right back out again.

The forecast says by tomorrow morning it will be almost down to freezing. Crazy stuff.

@Hypolite Petovan The film has a dialogue about an electric blanket as well, and how its comfort isolates us from the fact that it is cold outside, according to Andre it even isolates us from the plight of others.

Wally argues there's enough stuff going on without also subjecting oneself to unnecessary discomfort.

Both sides have a point.

#ImpostorSyndrome

I guess I must have been replying to the wrong type of person on a proprietary social network, because it decided I wanted to see a post from some right-winger.

It was quoting "My Dinner With Andre" and it wasn't referring to 15-minute cities specifically, but the context in which the quote was used made me think this quote gets at the core of the fear some people have for what they think the 15-minute city stands for.

Longer quote here, but I'll shorten it:
quotes.net/mquote/1182576

> New York is the new model for the new concentration camp. Where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves [ . . . ]
> [ . . . ] they no longer have, having been lobotomized, the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made, or to even see it as a prison.

Tweet by an account since deleted:

>> If you want to watch a TV series that is No woke, No agenda, No message it is The Expanse. Just a perfect TV series in every respect.

The retort:

> in the last season, about 1/4 of the action occurs on an anticapitalist pirate starship operated by a multiracial pansexual syndicalist polycule

@gunnar The cable and adapter are obviously fine, as they worked with other hardware.

The DP audio thing is either a Linux issue, the drivers in the kernel cannot make the chipset put the data there, or its a hardware issue, the chipset just doesn't do this. Linux does see an HDMI audio device, but blocks when trying to write to the buffer. I have neither the expertise nor time to solve this, and I haven't found any discussion online about it.

My current solution treating the audio and video separately works in practice. In fact, my soundbar only has one HDMI in, so I wouldn't be able to switch between the gaming console and the computer if they both used HDMI audio.

Your T430 has working DP->HDMI audio?

"He's All That" is actually not a bad version of Pygmalion.

Several things don't make sense, but not more things than we're used to.

I've been assuming this whole time that it was /SILian/!

Apparently I haven't seen a trailer with his name before or forgotten about it.

@gunnar The machine itself is working well.

I was surprised that I can't get audio through the DP->HDMI like I can on the Mac. Spacebar is having issues and I will find a local shop to replace the keyboard. The speakers sound a bit brittle and I'm careful not to play anything too loud for fear of bursting them.

Other than that, it's doing what I hoped, being a great media station for the TV and the bed.

I use a wireless keyboard and I run the headphone audio to the stereo, which avoids those minor issues.

I'm watching ST:SNW S1E07 and Nurse Chapel's "Don't hurt me, I'm just a nurse" has a very different ring to it once you've seen later episodes with her backstory. 😁

If you create a zip file in Python
And one of the file names in the zip file
Has a pipe character in it
And you look in the zip file
Using Windows Explorer
You will see all the files except
That file with a pipe in its name
...
If your Python is on Linux

That one took a while to sort out!

Mark Hamill calls himself Mar🐪 and that is so wonderfully dorky.

Also he calls James Earl Jones Dad Vader.

As of two days ago, JEJ is 93 years old.

Generally broadcast order is the order you want to watch things, because that's how the story was written. Prequels have call-backs (forwards?) to things that happen later in-universe, some stories will be more interesting if you understand their significance as background to a larger epic, etc.

Watching stories in in-universe chronological order is a fun idea and can give you some new perspectives, but it will be more enjoyable if you've already seen it all once.

I saw en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_… in the Aquaman II trailer and I thought "is that another Skarsgård?". He sure looks a lot like them.

I won't be watching this one in the cinema. The CGI looks awful and the story doesn't sound very interesting. When will DC find its groove?
