A slow-burn read by learning Japanese first. This one will take me while.


Which one, if you can recall? I love interactive books.


It’s a worthy story. Lots of little Easter eggs.


Write a book where the spine is a required piece of the story for its understanding or completion.
Kind of like how House of Leaves is best enjoyed with the actual book.


I don’t understand. Someone read this to me.


Instructions Not Included.


Explains the seemingly random PW reset request email I received the other day.
Use a hardware security token for 2FA and sleep easy at night.
Why you gotta call me out like this


Have you dug into FF’s about:config? You can search by relevant keyword and disable a few things. I think I’ve done it on my own desktop to disable recommended stories and AI features.
I have no idea. I used a web translator.
The beauty of agglutination. New words can be created without new vocabulary, sometimes regardless of technological changes. In Esperanto, there is no dedicated word for “cell phone”, but a word is needed to refer to these devices, so it’s “poŝtelefono”, or “pocket phone”.

The device was not an ordinary smart watch made by Apple or Samsung, but a special type that US Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) had mandated the woman wear at all times, allowing the agency to track her. The device was beeping when she entered the hospital, indicating she needed to charge it, and she worried that if the battery died, ICE agents would think she was trying to disappear, the hospital workers recalled. She told them that, just days earlier, she had been put on a deportation flight to Mexico, but the pilot refused to let her fly because she was so close to giving birth.
This situation is still fucked up.
Evil DMs keep two color-identical D4s, one with numbers up and an evil one with numbers down, and they’re the only D4s allowed on the table. When directed to roll a 1D4, it’s drawn blind and rolled. The hopeful see what they want before their faces give way to crestfall.
A fight to your death it is, then.
The triangular shape naturally draws our eyes to the pinnacle. Bottom-numbered D4 are evil and should be banned.


Thank you for this suggestion. ARRL was my first stop, and then Radio Relay Int’l. As you mentioned, third-party traffic is the biggest limfac, which is exactly the second hurdle I bumped into.
For all our hurrahs for amateur radio use in emcomm, it seems to have fallen wildly short in the instance I needed to use it.
We have to find a better way, including the politics of it.
The horrors persist, but so do I.
