    In the Netherlands (which the Dutch call "Nederland") the language is called "Nederlands", so that makes sense. Perhaps English speakers couldn't differentiate between "Nederlands" and "Deutsch", which corrupted to "Dutch".

    And why do we call the country "Germany" and the inhabitants "Germans" when they call their country "Deutschland" and themselves "die Deutsche"?

    I was talking with #sonTwo and mentioned not knowing where the right shoulder pain came from. He didn’t miss a beat:

    “Dad, it’s just because you’re old. Get used to it.”

    Cool, #Mercurial is getting close to being #Python 3 ready:

    While I'm not at all surprised that Bitbucket finally is purging #Mercurial, I'm still sad.

    Actually, I took extra math classes because I didn't want my brain to shrivel during an easier quarter.

    "... in an environment where their brain is constantly intellectually stimulated"

    I mostly had this during college and university, but it has always been rare in the workplace. I used to take on more challenging tasks and try to script them (using #KiXtart, or occasionally #VBScript or #PowerShell), but $EMPLOYER is now afraid that we'll damage the network with scripts, so I don't get much brain stimulation at work anymore.

    Chica was a good dog. She was 15 or 16, and the last dog that any of my siblings had. This was my youngest sister’s dog. I remember when they moved to a tiny apartment and brought Chica to live with us and our (at the time) dogs and cats. At the time, they hadn’t had any cats, so we were concerned that Chica would chase / attack the cats. After a little while, she made it clear that she understood that the cats were family members.

    The highlight of Chica’s time with us was when my niece #LG would visit. She made sure everyone knew that was her little girl.

    Chica kept trying to “go home”, so she’d escape from the backyard and then wander the neighborhood. Home was fifty miles away, so we always found her and returned her before them. (The experience fence-building turned out to be valuable for #sonTwo, who built a fence around his own backyard this year.)

    After they bought a house, Chica moved back home. She wandered in the front or back, but never tried to leave. And now that she was accepting of cats, they got two cats, one of which became her best friend.

    #RIP Chica.

    @geniusmusing That's really bad. Unauthenticated domain takeover is just about the worst possible flaw for #AD / #LDAP.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zoo_Revue was somewhat boring, so I think I only watched a few episodes. I watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stu_Rosen#Dusty's_Treehouse sometimes, but it later got boring also.

    I had a scientific calculator that I bought around 1980. I still used it regularly up until my youngest niece LG threw it in the toilet around 1999. Surprisingly, today's most of today's scientific calculators are not much more advanced.

    (This wasn't one of the programmable ones. They were way too expensive back then.)
