I stay awake all day to punish myself for not sleeping at night.

From the article:

A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”

Orwell:

Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. […] The original figures were as arbitrary as the rectified ones, and in any case, the Party had control of all records, and they themselves created reality. The past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had been actually destroyed.

Onno, you’re spot-on, we are troubleshooters.

When I was fiddling with my first self-built antenna last year, the first problem I had to contend with was design selection, then materials, and all the discrete steps through erecting the antenna—which itself posed some issues when at first the mast was too short, and then again when a taller mast attenuated the signal (carbon fiber) if the antenna got too close to the mast.

The troubleshooting process was always rewarded with the end goal of two-way comms.

I regret that you you are right. Nothing’s been the same since Harambe.

Idiocracy is a documentary!

That’s two levels deep, and an amazing take.

The subtext there might be that Dr Strange felt so hopeless about the situation that he didn’t conceive to look into the possibility, out of an infinite number of them.

I spent a couple of winters in Fairbanks Alaska, and was quite surprised with just how hot it gets up there in the summer, even as far north as the Arctic Circle.

That’s quite a nice typeface. I find myself torn between serif vs sans; when reading a book it’s so ingrained to expect serif (I switched from Bookerly) that my eyes stuttered a bit when I started Atkinson’s.

As long as I can get the OTF or TTF files, I’ll try em all. You have any more?

Thank you for that suggest. I had taken a peek at it a while ago and it’s too “wobbly” for me.

They’re letting the terrorism button cool off a bit, considering its basically not been let up since September 2001.
