Is a timber frame house from back then the same as one built post 1950 though? Some Q’s:

• Have materials/practices decreased in quality?
• Has there been a shift from a sense of pride in craft and duty to build well towards cutting corners and saving $?
• Has the density and properties of wood changed as we use smaller trees grown more quickly in monocultures compared to old-growth harvested lumber of pre 1900s?

Onions back!

Been down mostly for a week or two, started with DDoS issues, not sure if that’s ongoing or if the onion site is just gone now.

As far as I can tell? No, but I just did a search of the onimbus for some keywords. The mental image feels very Adamsish though, doesn’t it? I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from somewhere. Props to you if you can find the source. Maybe it’s a Pratchettian quote? Or Giamanic?

When given a robot voice, all it learned how to do was scream endlessly.

Hit that dirty birdie.

Seems like we’re overdue.

No Italian rebel crisis, no more Cato, no more independent Pompeii, Julias Ceaser got married, this Cicero guy really knows how to argue. So much better than the 70s.

Finished with animal names. Try Crazy Carrot (LTS).

interrobang.

I know it’s a real thing, but I still think of a sexy FBI agent every time I see “interrobang”

I always feel like these induced demand arguments are suggesting that adding more lanes means the same number of people are just choosing to do more driving. Maybe, as you add more lanes you create the infrastructure for a city to grow, and it adds more people which then fill up the new lanes. People aren’t just going out and buying a new car or rolling an existing car out of the driveway that they were previously not using because a new lane is built. These are net new drivers, who would not be in that city if the infrastructure for them hadn’t been built.

Corpos seeking synergies are excramentatitous

Seems like they are mostly trying to pawn off their issues onto unpaid volunteers instead of doing any actual development.

“New Teams” has been so painful for me, but if I understand correctly that is because my work is still on Windows 10. The Windows 11 version works better than the React version?
