Hmm... this is a new one.

I click the stupid "verify that you're a human" check box. It decides that I'm a human.

I decide to edit the form again, and by the time I've edited, the checkbox has expired, and I have to re-check it.

:catthinking:

Yeah, 30 seconds ago, I was a human, but now I've turned into a eucalyptus... Makes total sense.

Checks and Balances

Have you noticed that writing checks isn’t as popular as it once was? It’s very much a 20th-century thing. I still keep a checkbook and write the occasional check—usually to pay a bill that can’t be handled online, or for a larger purchase that my credit card might not accommodate. The checkbook isn’t forgotten; I still keep the ledger up to date.

I use a debit card now and then, though I prefer a credit card. The thing is, nowadays many small businesses charge extra when you use a credit card. Some even tack on fees for any card, which misses the point entirely—they’re not charged extra for processing a debit card. That’s yet another reason I might reach for a check.

Back in the 20th century—especially in the ’70s and ’80s—writing checks was common practice. People carried their checkbooks everywhere and used them for everything. Need gas? Write a check. Groceries? Write a check. Just want a cold soda? Write a check.

I still remember opening my first checking account and thinking, I have arrived. It took a lesson or two to learn about balancing the checkbook, and the statement you received in the mail didn’t always reflect your actual balance. Live and learn.

Nowadays, if I’m waiting in line at a store and the person ahead of me waits until all her items are scanned before digging through her purse—only to retrieve a checkbook—I might let out a silent sigh. I’d be careful not to show any emotion, not even impatience. Even if she waits until asked for ID to start rummaging again, my outward demeanor would remain impassive.

For I remember when.

@pl Lots of answers to that question, few simple ones. https://github.com/Mic92/nix-fast-build might help, via it's usage of https://github.com/nix-community/nix-eval-jobs.

#Musk is gone. But #DOGE staffers are still trying to cut through #agencies. They are not #qualified. Some DOGE employees have been hired on as permanent government staffers and given high-ranking positions inside agencies. The General Services Administration, for example, is an entry point for dozens of DOGE officials who’ve then gone to other departments. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/29/doge-staff-quiet-government-agency-cuts-00374613 #GSA #federalgovernment #background #checks none subject matter expertise.

The New Dark Age; #Trump's #War on #Knowledge

By destroying knowledge #Trumpists seek to make the #US more amenable to their #political #domination, & prevent meaningful #democratic #checks on their behavior

Their victory would do more than that. It would annihilate some of the most effective systems for aggregating, accumulating, & applying human knowledge that ever existed

Without those, it could find itself plunged into a new Dark Age

I already found it unbelievable how widely checks are still used in the US when I lived there over a decade ago (after all, this was supposed to be the country of "plastic money"). Checks have been phased out in Europe ages ago, and they're still popular in the US.
