So putting an air purifier in a day care cuts kids sick days by a third.

Man, someone from Waterloo public health should just grab their credit card, order 220 air purifiers, and give two to every child care center in the city.

Whenever a conference says "We've made more room for networking in the schedule" all I hear is "We're paying fewer speakers, but are spinning this as good for you."

I just received an email, subject line "92% of businesses plan to invest in AI this year"
I mean, it's maybe an attention grabber, but it's so utterly wrong it's also lost all credibility.
92% of businesses? Including: restaurants, home cleaning services, independent corner stores?
Is it maybe 92% of the fortune 500? or 1000? That's important information that's not in the body of the email either.
I've unsubscribed from that list because I have to question everything else they have to say.

The pillows at the hotel we were at started so thick your head pointed at the sky, then immediately compressed so much it felt like using a phone book as a pillow.
And if you're old enough to have used a phone book, you're too old for that shit.

Many warnings are written in blood.
This one sure sounds like it was.

The people in my local starbucks are calling the incident today "that microsoft issue".
I feel like there's a marketing team out there that is going to want to get out ahead of this just as soon as their computers start working.

Something for non-amerians to keep in mind.
When you enter the US they may require you to provide all your social media accounts.

@npub1rv4…ft5j but will he be shot by a laser designed to kill a mouse repeatedly? That’s key.

@npub1jpp…u59l People like to pretend this is hard. Thousands of companies have nuanced anti-bribery policies in place.

Know what happens more often than you'd think?
Hosting providers just sort of dropping off the Internet and not coming back.
Tuesday everything works fine. Wednesday their entire subnet isn't working, no DNS, no email, nothing. They just never come back.
This is not an uncommon occurrence for us.

@npub1jpp…u59l The PHP website for WonderProxy got like 4x faster when we rewrote it.
We rewrote it in PHP. Of course the second time we wrote everything we went into it with 100x more knowledge than the first time.

Taking time off the way you enjoy is incredibly powerful. Do you want to go to Vermont, stay in a hotel and just read books near a window? Go for it. Want to meet up with some friends and play video games with the curtains closed? Do that.
We’re camping at the moment. We’ve had a few days of hiking and kayaking. This morning? We’re curled up under blankets listening to the rain fall, reading books or playing video games.
We’re not wasting time, we’re enjoying ourselves. That’s great.

My children are currently sitting on a bench in Ontario Canada eating some popsicles. Popsicles that were made in Turkey?
I just don’t understand the economics of mixing sugar, water, and color, then ship them across a freaking ocean. How is that cheaper than making them in North America?
What was the CO2 impact to save them … not much? Turkey also has a much higher percentage of fossil fuels in their energy mix than Canada.

I think legalizing pot was the right move.
That said I wish I could go camping with my kids without the smell of it. My oldest spent about a year thinking pot was the smell of “campfire” after a particularly unlucky campsite assignment.

This is how most of those "Residential IP" proxy services work:

With the growth of LLMs, and people being to shovel their output unreviewed onto the web, have we already passed peak “you can believe things you read on the internet”?

They rescued Archie! (classic internet tool, I got to use it back in the early/mid 90s at a university lab)

This sidewalk reminds me of some CSS problems I’ve had over the years.

I didn't realize it until I came upon it in a podcast.
I view people calling twitter "X" without mentioning its former name a negative signal for how much I want to interact with that person.

I kind of want to move my blog to <domain> /cgi-bin/blog.pl
Just kick it old school for a while. Maybe throw up a hit counter, a construction worker gif, and a few chuck norris-isms.
