I mean add as in “do math” - if it ends in a 2 add one and it’s a 3

What caused the big jump UP earlier?

Oh no, who could have foreseen this?

I mean, it’s not like an SSN is secure at all. Add 1 to your SSN and that’s most likely a completely valid number for someone else

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

You’ve just created a great T-shirt idea

What? That doesn’t use docker. It’s JavaScript files meant to be used in TamperMonkey

Here’s the repo I added the license to: https://github.com/FiniteLooper/UserScripts

I went with GPL for that one

Open an issue on the project saying “please add a license”.

I forgot to add a license on a project of mine, and someone did this for me, so I looked into it and picked a license to add. I was glad they brought it to my attention!

Now this is the kind of absurdism I want to see from Larson!

Yes, Earth Abides is also good! I had forgotten about that one until I saw your comment

Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven is a fantastic book that might be near what you are looking for. It’s about an asteroid impact on Earth, this removes a lot of the population and infrastructure and the story focuses on a few different groups of people as they make do with what they can find or scavenge, and then the resource battling that goes on between groups.

A story line I remember well is on a group that found an abandoned neighborhood and were astonished to find that it still had running water from the nearby local dam/reservoir. They lived here for quite a while in their relative luxury until it just stopped working one day. A burst pipe in some other neighborhood had slowly drained the dam faster than they would have used it up.

Anyway, it’s a great book because it feels so realistic as to what would really happen and the struggles people would actually be going through.

I once had an intern who previously worked for me call and ask that I be used as a reference, but lie about what they did and for how long. I was like: uh… no if I get a phone call I will describe your role accurately.

Crazy that they would think anyone would do that

So I have the daily calendar and this was today’s. I had to look it up and came up with this from here: https://cidu.info/2022/02/17/and-a-tip-of-the-hat-to-billy-sutton-in-tampa/

If you’re wondering why Gary Larson penned a special message to a Tampa resident in today’s Far Side cartoon (on the back page of this section), wonder no more.

Bill Sutton, who Larson sends a “thanx and tip o’ the hat to” is a fictional person made up to imitate a cartoon called They’ll Do It Every Time by James Hatlo. Hatlo’s readers often supplied him with material, and when he used an idea, he thanked the contributor in the corner of the drawing. “Thanx, and with a tip o’ the Hatlo hat to . . . ,” he would write.

“Gary wasn’t thanking anyone in particular, he was just making fun of those cartoons,” said Universal Press Syndicate editor Jake Morrissey. “It’s a takeoff on the old line. It was kind of a silly cartoon to begin with. That’s the whole point.”

So just the most obscure thing possible

Does PiHole work on YouTube ads? That’s just a DNS based blocker, I thought YouTube ads came from the same domain as the regular videos and they couldn’t be blocked via DNS.

I ask because I watch YouTube a lot on my AppleTV app, which I pipe through NextDNS which supports ad blacklist files. No YouTube ads are blocked there for me

Horrible. I would think a steep fine for something like that would be enough of a deterrent for most people, and it most certainly would have changed the outcome here.

Someone should train an AI with only Far Side comics to come up with every weirder nonsense

If you have Photoshop, it has some AI powered filters that are pretty amazing. One is specifically made to do what you are asking about.

I once went to Togo, west Africa and was served cat meat. It’s awful. Do not recommend.

I was also served dog meat. We were told it was goat at first, I liked it. Then they told us what it actually was.
