    Article says the outer core is responsible for magnetism, but still, the inner core's spin must have some effect.

    @simsa04 Whoa! That sounds like it would have horrible effects, including reversing the earth's magnetic polarity.

    > Seems we might have an answer for why, on the eve of the 2016 election, someone at the FBI lied to the NYTimes about the links the FBI saw between Trump and Russia.

    > Because the then-head of counterintelligence for FBI in NY was just indicted for money laundering and helping Russian oligarchs evade sanctions.

    I installed #I2P and I2Pd on an #Android tablet. I went to the built-in addressbook and found that many of the sites listed no longer exist.

    There were a few private gitea forges, a couple of inactive blogs, and so on. They can keep the current addressbook as a "historical" section, but the the main list should be updated 1-4X per year to prune dead sites.

    #Germany would not oppose if #Poland or other NATO allies send Leopard tanks to #Ukraine https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/01/22/7386030/ [www pravda com ua]

    This is good news, but it comes far later than it should. Heavy tanks and other advanced weapons--including aircraft and missiles--should already be in the hands of Ukrainian forces fighting to push #Russia's invasion forces and mercenaries out of their country.

    It isn't just Germany that should have responded appropriately last year and didn't. The #USA and #UK and #France all bear just as much responsibility for the continued death and destruction in Ukraine.

    I used to visit the area of Monterey Park and Alhambra and some nearby cities with my friends when I was much younger. The area was just starting to become an ethnic haven for Chinese ancestry residents ... and some other Asian ancestries to some extent.

    1. Authorities identify suspected gunman in Lunar New Year mass shooting

    4% COLA takes effect as of the next pay period. I don't think that matches last year's price inflation rate, but it is considerably better than no raise at all. (See for example: teachers in lower income districts, who go without raises for years, while do-nothing administrators continue to get lavish increases year after year.)

    My only interaction with #SSB ( #Secure_ScuttleButt, not #Single_Sideband ) has been through #Manyverse, so take this with a grain of salt. That said, when I joined, you'd go to a list of "pubs" and copy an invitation code, so you could see and be seen by other people.

    Now, they're using (usually limited topic) "rooms", and most of the pubs are gone. The public rooms list is small.

    It makes it unattractive, because the only way for most people to participate is to host a room / pub server. As a result, I deleted Manyverse from my devices.

    Due to changes in #sonTwo's work schedule, we're going to try to have our #videochats on Saturday and Sunday mornings for a while. A couple of co-workers recently became ex-co-workers, so the remaining crew has additional hours. (And since he's working on full-time and two part-time jobs, the additional funds are welcomed.)

    I saw a guy I worked with 20-25 years ago. He hasn't put on much weight, but he's got a graying beard.

    After I got an infection and lost 30lb in 10 days, I couldn't lift a 40-50lb box anymore, so he took over putting away incoming shipments. Surpringly, part of that strength never returned.
