  @datarama @GinevraCat Rocks, basically. Laptop is geode, mac mini is pebble. My iPad used to be opal but now I have a black one so it’s onyx. Had a cloud server I called okenite because, well, look at it.

  I just learned the Japanese word for conceit, or bragging about yourself: 自負 (jifu). The kanji mean "myself" and "defeat".

  The Nimble Needles guy, who does the highest quality knitting tutorials I've ever found, just released a video on how AI is destroying the knitting community. (Seriously, if you knit and haven't heard of him go to his website, he has the best advice on everything -- common problems, beginner techniques, advanced techniques, everything -- with beautiful, clear photos.) https://youtu.be/kEv04Pdaad4 #knitting

  my husband: Yeah, it looks like you've got a bunch of race conditions. I think the proper thing to do is to put down the javascript and run away into the forest.

  Dear Lazy Web, I have this orchid, and I think it wants a bigger pot. My understanding is that they like air and not a big pot of dirt, though, so I’m not sure what to get for it. Any advice? Boosts welcome.

  Just saw a reference to the former Ok glacier in Iceland, which a few years ago shrunk so much that it stopped being a glacier. Please read this plaque they put up next to it.

  “… He also said the company was experimenting with feeding in reporters' notes [to AI] to create articles. "Journalists who embrace and experiment with this tool are going to win," Nelson said in the meeting. "Journalists who are defiant will fall behind"” and newspapers who do this will not get subscription fees from me. https://m.slashdot.org/story/454696

  Dear #knitting lazy web: does anyone know of any patterns for socks with thick bottoms? I bought some socks in Scotland that are thick, warm, and squooshy on the bottom and they are my new best friends. I want to make more! Searching on ravelry was not productive, but it's a difficult thing to search for. I can't figure out a way to do it on my own without knitting flat and seaming.
