@clacke This sounds like your boss is trying to justify retention before layoffs get announced.
Even if it is, I'm glad to see you impressed them so much that they're willing to make that effort. -

https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ The !RasPi 5 is coming. Jeff Geerling tells us about it.
I think I like my #Orange_Pi 5 better. Weโre past the point where just having the #Raspberry_Pi name was good enough. Iโm also looking at a #Banana_Pi model with 4GiB of RAM, mostly as an equivalent of the RPi 4.
As you may know, there has been a long shortage of #RPi boards, enabling other #SBCs to proliferate. Also, there was an issue where they hired a former surveillance cop, then mishandled their response to the community that was justifiably concerned about it. -

I'm thinking #GS3, #GS4, #GS5 need to listen to this with grandpa for a while.
(I could do this. I once listened to Safety Dance almost exclusively for about six months. Similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrgmXuikWkA ) -

The Fujiwhara effect is when two tropical cyclones ๐ rotate around a common center, like a pinwheel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id7aU6OShiQ .
I learned about it recently, just because the Youtube weather people kept mentioning it. -

One of my brothers visited the building where we lived when we were in high school. He took pictures.
The new owners spent a lot of money to make the building look good. I barely recognize it. -

#sonOne tells me he'll be part of a public event this year and may be briefly visible on TV. He was selected from a group of voluntarily chosen participants.
One of my brothers is expected to attend another event the same day, possibly also being visible on TV and maybe even interviewed. -

From what Iโve seen so far, contaminated formula caused two confirmed deaths and several more are suspected.
My nephewโs son is getting formula because of some problems that he had with motherโs milk. I definitely support the FDA improving its inspection process and putting the companies on blast for their penny pinching slipshod production processes. -

When I was in high school, I knew a guy that decided to learn some acrobatics when he was about ten. He started by trying to jump, spin all the way around head over heels, and land on his feet in the same spot. By the time I met him, he was about five years into it, and he could do amazing stunts like you'd expect from a circus performer.
He had, of course, broken a few bones along the way. His younger brother did not do any of those tricks.
It is amazing what people can do when they set their minds to the task. -

When #sonOne was about 12, he decided to learn to throw knives. He took a knife his grandfather had given him and spent about an hour a day in the garage, throwing the knife at the wall. By the time his mom figured out why there were so many holes in the wall, he was pretty good at hitting a target tip-first at that distance.
A year or so later, he taught himself to throw pennies, spinning so fast they buzzed and curved. This time he practiced in his bedroom. By the time I realized what was going on, he could hit a target and punch though drywall or hollow doors.
When people are persistent enough, they can do surprising things. -

@fu The bacterium they are concerned about killed several babies within the past 2-3 years. The real issue is forbidding imports and even new domestic competitors from displacing entrenched corporations' market share.
That said, I alerted lazyNephew to stock up. Otherwise, he'll call my sister in a panic about feeding his son. -

@fu From experience, mlb.tv blocks many #VPN Ip addresses. Most recent experience is with Mullvad from a hotel network ... could not view via VPN, and the hotel was doing screwy things so that streaming wasn't working without VPN.
