PSA for Washington State Cannabis Users 

Due to a state-wide "emergency ban" of flavored vape cartridges by executive order of Governor Jay Inslee[1], Have a Heart cannabis shops are selling flavored vape carts at a 30% discount and plan to pull them from their shelves as of Tuesday the 8th. I can't speak for other Cannabis shops in the area but suspect you'll find similar situations.

In case you were curious, bras come in three flavours: ‘push ‘em up,’ ‘smash ‘em flat,’ and ‘dear gods, just help me carry ‘em.’

Good news as EU formally adopts Ecodesign measures:

- As of 2021, all TVs, monitors, fridges, freezers, washing machines, washer-dryers, dishwashers and lighting products on the EU market will have to meet minimum repairability requirements
- Manufacturers will have to ensure easy disassembly with commonly available tools.
- Spare parts and repair information will have to be made available to professional repairers for a minimum number of years.

Microsoft has removed the ability to create an offline account on new Windows 10 installs unless your PC is offline. Disconnect your network / modem before installing Windows 10.

Another option is to keep trying to create the MS account with a fake phone number until it gives up and lets you create a local offline account.

Bonus tip - if you don't want to set security questions when creating an offline account: create one without a password and then set the password via the control panel after logging in.

[1.Ch.] Shit what Keet says (CW: all-caps)

France, toys, gender stereotypes, + 

A welcome step indeed! More of this globally, please.

"French toymakers have signed a pact to rid games and toys of the gender stereotypes which the government blames for keeping women out of maths and science careers."

"The message that jobs are gender-specific is hammered home from a young age, with the result that “very few women” enter science and technology, Pannier-Runacher said.

“If you go to a shop to buy a toy for your young niece or nephew, the first question is: ‘Is it for a girl or a boy?’ and not: ‘Do they like to play outside? Do they like to play construction games? Do they like to play at taking care of a baby?’” she said.

This had resulted in girls, despite tending to outperform boys at maths and physics in school, being underrepresented in the sectors as adults.

“Today, 10% of coders are women, which means that 90% of coders are men designing the algorithms of tomorrow,” she said."

I wrote an extended version of the Goodnight music from SNES SimCity because I always loved it and wished there was more.

My mum sent this to me at school and I cried in front of my friends redd.it/d5umby

been writing papers and studying Pen Testing all night and decided to relax by playing a few levels of "REZ" and my brain is doing loop-de-loops trying to map one onto the other.

"EXCUSE ME GIANT FLYING POLYGON LASER SQUID, COULD YOU POINT ME TO THE DOMAIN SWITCH? IS SHOOTING YOU THE EQUIVALENT OF ARP POISONING? ARE THE GLOWING BLUE SPHERES TCP OR UDP? SOMEBODY TURN DOWN THE TECHNO AND LET ME TALK TO THE ADMIN"

As a branding/design exercise, i am constantly impressed by how consistently good the team for MarbleLeage has been year after year. The updated logos for 2020 are super awesome!

Sarcasm, pointless grumbling, health care administrative dysfunction. 

Thank you, provider of TMS and related services, for letting me pay you for the privilege of doing your job.

Oh, don't worry. Next time your machine breaks and you have to cancel two weeks of treatment and give an open-ended promise to call me when it's back up and running, I'll eventually take the initiative to call and ask. I understand that you're not actually obligated do what you promise, and since I'm the one who suffers for it, the onus is on me to handle these petty little inform-the-patient tasks on your behalf to make sure they get done.

It's okay. I live in the United States. I'm used to it.
