Finally finished "Stranger Things 3" and the part that really required a suspension of disbelief was the full-duplex, zero-latency, noise-free radio connection for the musical duet. It's like the Duffer Brothers have never even called CQ on an DX QSO over an HF band.

Speed running is just software QA testing as a spectator sport.
I just wish it were that fun to break my own software.

@mwlucas personally only seen it used by jerks, particularly nasty ones at that.
Except in one specific case, by someone who's generally a good person but who unfortunately hangs around with some of the aforementioned jerks.

My favourite fact about Canada is that in the 70's a radio show had a competition for a national simile along the lines of "as american as apple pie" and the winning entry was "as canadian as possible under the circumstances"

Pavlov: the dogs salivate when I ring a bell
Me: weird. Why?
Pavlov: they connect two unrelated events due to repeated conditioning
Me: haha stupid animals
Pavlov: the experiment took 69 days
Me: nice

What would it be like if machine intelligences of the far future tried to recreate tea?
This may be the most wandering.shop experiment I've ever done.

I don't know anything about #Pokemon, but since their names are names of a species and not individuals, what Pikachu is saying when he shoots electricity would be like me saying something like "human, human, huuuuumaaaaaaan" if I were to punch someone?

That took longer than I expected and I had to manually kill whiptail at two points (resolving customization differences in my ntp.conf and mpd.conf) but I'm now on Debian 10. Woo!

Welp, we experienced a power outage early this afternoon that outlasted the home UPS.
Guess that means it's time for `aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade`!
