    When I read stuff like https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/index.php/blog/lunar-eclipses-and-shadow-earth [theflatearthsociety org] it causes me to wonder whether these folks are just playing along to get reactions to laugh at.

    #GD2 (age 12): Your eyes look a little red. Are you okay?

    I sent the kids and grandkids what is probably the third ever selfie I've taken.

    #GS3 (age 4Β½): Grandpa, you're being silly!

    #Son1 (age 46): I have more wrinkles than you do! That's not fair!

    I've caught up beard-wise. He and his brother (10 years younger) started getting patches of white in their beards when I still had only a couple of white hairs.

    @clacke Are Hongkongers suffering through time shifts also? In the Los Angeles area I remember it becoming midnight level darkness at 18:00 in late November and early December ... by 16:00 the sun was just above the horizon, which curtailed outdoor activities. But part of that is the end of daylight saving time.

    1. [Announcement] Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 release image is being updated to resolve a malicious translation incident
      from Ubuntu Community Hub
      Summary Shortly after release we identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in a specific set of translations of the Ubuntu Desktop installer UI and have taken immediate action. These translations are being removed and an updated ISO will be available to download once we have replaced the offending material. It is important to note that these translations are not part of the Ubuntu Archive and we believe the incident is contained only to translations provided via a third party translat...

    Interesting discussion going on with #sonTwo. What should band members do when a member of a Christian music group decides they no longer believe in God?

    Do they kick the person out? Do they continue as they have been? What is the reasoning for whatever choices they make?

    As usual, we're coming at it from different perspectives (different from each other as well as different from where I think we each would have come from a few years earlier).

    I just used Google maps to estimate the distances from the building where I lived to each of the three closest supermarkets. Surprisingly, it was only around 2.5 miles / 4.0 kilometers walk in each direction ... for some reason, I remember it being longer.

    Anyway, we often relied upon neighborhood markets that were essentially convenience stores. I think there being little concession to the needs of pedestrians also made it a little more challenging.

    @fu You mean you don't have to sit at a table in front of the local supermarkets selling GS cookies? I thought that was the whole idea of being a girl scout parent.

    When I was much younger, I worked at the local liquor store. A frequent customer named Phil had four daughters. He would let us know that it was girl scout cookie season, and would bring each of his four daughters individually to sell us cookies.

    At the time, I made $64/week after taxes, so having $10 gobbled up by fundraising was a significant crimp.

    I've lost 35 pounds in 19Β½ months. Most of the time, I haven't been making any effort to do so. Just trying to get 15K steps each day and occasionally turning down less healthy foods. I'm now within 10-15lb of my weight at age 40.

    A home nearby had a sign yesterday. β€œLP Records for sale”

    I didn’t look at their selection of records because I have never owned a record player. They probably have some interesting records, too.

    @simsa03 I think it was just that I lived in an area where there weren't a lot of options. I think they'd call it a food desert today.

    @fu I didn't like cheese until I was in my early twenties. I suspect that pre-sliced "cheese" was already some sort of processed food product. What happened was I signed up for a cheese club and got European cheeses shipped to my door. They were surprisingly good.

    Even today, I'm not a fan of sliced cheese-like food product.

    Former #LA_Dodgers first base player Steve Garvey is talking about running for Senate to replace Dianne Feinstein. They didn't clearly say which side of the #twin_parties he's on, but I would guess GOP.
