DISCUSSING In the Shadow of the Spire – Session 42A: Rat Mothers But Ranthir, upon hearing the word “flee”, whirled around and webbed the far side of the room: The mothers, the albino, and Berq were all helplessly caught – except for one mother, trapped in the corner, who futilely screamed for help in her despair. Tor closed on her and ruthlessly killed both her and the baby ratlings. With …

For an introduction to the Carry Scenarios series, look here. You know two things that are really incompatible? Espada XLs and kid’s birthdays. Please don’t decide to show your allegiance to the Second Amendment cause by cutting food that comes in sheet form (sheet cake, sheet pizza, sheet of brownies) with a CKRT XOC. The weird thing is, despite the sensitive to scary knives, I have never been to a …

Welcome to the another Global Nerdy Saturday “picdump!” It’s the weekly article where I post the technology- and work-related memes, pictures, and cartoons floating around the internet that I found interesting or relevant this week. Share and enjoy! WiFi Pineapple addresses typically start with 172.16.42. The post Saturday picdump for January 18, 2025 appeared first on Global Nerdy.

We first started selling online tickets in 2005. We first started accepting credit cards at the bar in 2012. And If I could send a message through time to decades-ago past-me (and if for some reason it couldn't just be a Biff Tannen gambit) then that message would be: "CASH ONLY FOREVER, NEVER DO CREDIT CARDS OR ONLINE SALES". (And if I get a second sentence, "Don't date ████ or …

Recently I’ve been working with map data to create interactive visualisations. When working with maps it’s common to receive data as GeoJSON, a JSON format for encoding geographic features, which specifies the type of geometry and co-ordinates for the features we want to display on a map. Javascript mapping libraries such as Mapbox GL are designed to consume GeoJSON to render features on a canvas. I’m fairly accustomed to using …

Hayk comes with me on a road trip. Image-heavy - over 50 photos.

As I keep digging in my collection I have found Space Beavers! This was a promotional comic book from Cities Service gasoline. It probably was a give-away with purchase. It reflects the early 60s where the Mercury launches had taken place and we were looking ahead to the future. The whole premise is a beaver who is invited to go on one of the early space voyages. The twist is …

a sunset in seattle. trees and buildings edge the bottom of the photo. the rest is clouds in resplendence. the dimming sun casts orange light underneath gray clouds. i’ve used a photo of the sky for these posts a number of times. it should probably come as no surprise that i’m always looking up. We were four years in power. Two, for the cynical. A few months, if the shambling …

Countries - and state-scale corporates - should each be working on their own Strategic Fact Reserve. If they’re not already. Let me trace the logic… AI as cognitive infrastructure Assume for a moment that AI is upstream of productive work. It’ll start off that people just go faster with AI, and then it’ll become essential. I remember hearing that legal contracts got longer when word processors were introduced (I’d love …

Back in November, it was reported here that two cars from the Middletown & Hummelstown were headed to the Rockhill Trolley Museum. Those cars both headed to Rockhill Furnace today and were unloaded this afternoon. Thanks to Joel Salomon of RTM for the photos and update! The first car, shown above after being un-tarped, is Lewistown & Reedsville 23, a unique and historically significant center-entrance car that ran most of …

In June of 2023, I planted a GEM avocado tree. It was a good-looking tree, on top and bottom. The leaves showed healthy new growth and the roots were abundant and with new white tips. I planted in the best way I knew, a way in which I’d planted many trees before that grew into […] The post Young avocado trees cannot handle competition appeared first on Greg Alder's Yard …
