    Kick 'em Jenny, an undersea volcano in the Caribbean, is said to be seismically active again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick_%27em_Jenny [en wikipedia org] The volcano sits about 5 miles off the coast of the island of Grenada

    https://nowgrenada.com/2024/02/increased-seismic-activity-at-kick-em-jenny-submarine-volcano/ [nowgrenada com]

    Current alert level is "yellow". I assume this just means "check the news daily in case it decides to become more active" rather than "grab your stuff and go".

    > It is, in fact, normal for you to just want to lay around not producing anything.

    For brief periods, yes. Over longer periods of time, no. That's neither normal nor mentally healthy. From the beginning of humanity, people (all of them) had to labor in some capacity in order for themselves and their loved ones to survive. The need to produce is built into us.

    That's not to say that we wouldn't benefit from saying "we can take care of everyone's needs on four hours of labor per day, so that's going to be our new standard" or something similar.

    A measure of how incompetent $WEBMAIL_SERVICE is:

    For the past couple of months, I've been getting multiple phishing spams each day claiming to be from the service, telling me to click the link or my e-mail service will be cancelled. You'd think by now that their spam-blocker would have noticed how many reported messages purport to be from the service itself, but thus far it hasn't.

    I think I've said it before, but if I haven't, it is my belief that some time in the future, people will look back and say that World War III started in the 2008-2014 time frame. That is, some of the armed conflicts from that time and this time will eventually unite with other conflicts into what will become known as WW3.

    That is, WW3 is already going on, and neither Neville Chamberlain style appeasement nor "we're just going to focus on things within our own borders" will prevent the war from coming to all or nearly all of Europe and North America. (And likely, East Asia.)

    Traitors like #Trump and #Tucker_Carlson who are willing to sell out everyone else's freedom in order to appease #Putin are just going to cost us lots of unnecessary deaths.

    And as #Ukraine can attest, death during a time of war doesn't confine itself to military personnel fighting on a battlefield. #Russia can lob the same missiles that it is using to kill civilians in Kyiv at London or New York or Paris or Toronto ... and they will.

    Basically, #Trump said that if any #NATO ally isn't spending its designated 2% on its military, he'll invite #Putin to invade and enslave that country.

    One day, the survivors will look back at Trump's speech in 2024-FEB and will allocated an estimated number of deaths to his encouragement of Putin's dream of building a new #USSR and ensuring that it rules the world.

    Oh, the #Win11 mini-PC that was stuck in a reboot loop did eventually get a new OS. #SuSE_Linux specifically the more stable variant of #OpenSuse.

    I haven't done anything with it after installation. I should probably ship it to 2nd son's house, so it is there when I arrive.

    So they've got a unique format for the overtime. Each team gets the ball for one series of plays to attempt to score.

    San Francisco 49ers scored a 3 point field goal, then Kansas City Chiefs had their turn and scored a 6 point touchdown. Final score: SF 22, KC 25.

    What? How is this idiot a leading candidate for office?

    #USDOJ should investigate whether those remarks can be prosecuted as treason or similar.

    I was discussing KISS and learned that they disbanded not long ago.

    I remember that Jonathan and Kelvin (whom I knew from school) had gone to a concert and became so obsessed that that's almost all they could talk about. Thereafter, I was already predisposed to like their songs.

    I never went to a concert, and I pretty much stopped hearing their music after about 1980, except an occasional "Calling Dr Love" or "Rock and Roll All Night" played on the radio.

    So according to the list that YouTube has, Skywriter contained 10 songs. I remembered 9 of them.

    Of course, I also listened to the Jackson 5ive version again. All I can say is that I must have cranked the bass in those days, because what I heard on YouTube sounds the same except a lot less bassy.

    I recently heard the Four Tops version of "I Can't Quit Your Love" and I can really see how much it inspired the Jackson 5ive's version.

    I spent many hours standing in front of the family 8-track player wearing headphones while listening to the J5's Skywriter album. Then I got a pocket sized transistor radio and could listen to music anywhere, which reduced the number of hours I stood there at the 8-track player.

    (Radio Shack's battery club really helped. Each month I could get a free 9V rectangular battery to power my listening.)

    I heard a loud firework last night, so I figured they must have been celebrating Chinese New Year. But I only heard one. I guess it was a short celebration.

    #Daddy_A told me that "Grandpa's Baby Boy" ( #A1 ) dropped his phone in the toilet. It's been a long time since he had service on it anyway.
