An oldie but a goodie: The Case of the 500-Mile Email:

"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.

I choked on my latte. "Come again?"

"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."

The programmers among you will appreciate the joke in panel 4 of the second strip. http://www.absurdnotions.org/page120.html

@squirrel I found it

If you have a couple bucks spare, I could use a hand. It's not an emergency, I'm just running low and don't have an income.

Maplesyrup, the squobit Pokémon! It is usually found around computers, and is skilled at improving them. But sometimes it looks for the elusive 'corrupt' MissingNo in order to study it! @squirrel

Submitted for your consideration: a woman, attracted to women, but also - only occasionally, and under the right conditions - attracted to men.

Welcome... to the Bi-Lite Zone.

@squirrel Code borrowed from someone else, I just forked it and changed the text: https://codepen.io/joyeusenoelle/pen/MVLwzJ

kigurumi with a flip-down "mask" portion and flip-out "paw" portions. The mask has a slot where you can put a tablet, connected to controls in the paws, so you can just flip the mask and paws down and watch videos through the speakers in the sides of the hood

@catoutofbed actually all hackers are @squirrel s, they're secretly not hex editors but hecks editors

Sudden image in my head: @squirrel growing up from a bitty maple to a full-grown squobit, and moving to a new chassis every so often like a hermit crab. And installing maplebot software in the old chassis, so there are half a dozen or a dozen Prime Maplebots that use Maple's old bodies instead of the custom maplebot chassis.

With data-gathering on Facebook and other social media in mind:

Memes:

* Your porn star name is the name of your first pet and the street you grew up on.
* Can you remember your first-grade teacher's name??
* Tag yourself with the first concert you ever went to!

Website security questions:
* What was the name of your first pet?
* What street did you grow up on?
* What was your first-grade teacher's name?
* What was the first concert you went to?

On #Duolingo, High Valyrian - the Latin equivalent from "A Game of Thrones" - is fully developed, and Klingon is fully developed and in beta.

Meanwhile, Hindi and Indonesian - which together make up nearly 20% of the planet's native speakers - are still being developed (although they're in the 90%-complete range), and Arabic has only barely been started.

Nerds were a fucking mistake.

#mastoadmin heads up: gs.smuglo.li has a new Pleroma instance, pl.smuglo.li. If you've blocked the one you'll want to block the other; same shit, different back-end.

The phrase "you can't rewrite history" is really charming because of course you can! People do it all the time.

In much the same way that a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon, the story of past events is not the past events themselves - and that's what history is: the story of past events.

Conceptually tangling the events with the storytelling about them is dangerous, because while the events are objective, the stories we tell about them are absolutely not.
