So how nasty are these things to humans? They seem like body horror nightmare fuel.

(I think I live far enough north to not have to worry about them but thinking about them still makes me a bit queasy.)

I was sitting outside of an anime con rave with some friends when people started streaming out of the rave in a hurry. Someone had set off pepper spray in the middle of the crowd. Never fully found out why but the two stories I heard were either that a guy got way too handsy with a girl or someone just did it for the lulz. (Either way it was a bad time for a lot of people and the paramedics had to be called for a few folks.)

You'd be surprised. I biked to work almost all of November last year because we didn't get snow until the very end of the month, and after that I walked a lot and took the bus lol.

I'd rather walk here in winter than anywhere in August back in Florida.

Or if you're born into wealth, CEO is also an option!

I'm currently watching an Action Retro video where he's messing around with Mandrake.

KDE had a setup wizard named Kandalf.

Oh hey it's me crossing the road on my bike today as a bus comes barreling around the blind corner twenty feet away.

Ooh I was never part of the donoeat patreon so I haven't seen this yet. Has Well There's Your Problem done a killdozer episode yet? It'd fit in with their other bonus episodes.

(When is the next episode of Franklin coming out Rocz???)

The US.

There's a bill fresh out of committee that would put (most of) us on permanent DST. It's got some bipartisan support and the Angry Orange has said he's in favor of it.

Cursive is likely useful for developing fine motor skills at an age where that's really important, it probably has benefits for general handwriting legibility while possibly being slightly less boring than just practicing print writing. I'm of the opinion that we should keep cursive, but integrate it into an expanded art class and add calligraphy.

Can't, I'm in the bathroom producing an ai response.
