My partner brought back some #sunscreen from a trip to #Greece. I was looking at the directions on it, and they're quite a bit different from what I'm used to on North American brands. They included this:
> Apply at least 2 mg per cm^2 of skin.
My first thought was "You have GOT to be fucking with me."

YOU’RE LOOKING
AT THE WRONG PARTS 💎I sometimes wonder what people imagine is going on inside the life of someone with a visible disability.
I walk very strangely. My left arm doesn’t work at all. My hand is contracted into a claw. I do everything one-handed, and that clearly wasn’t covered in this model’s original operating instructions.
From the outside, I suspect it can look like a life dominated by disability.
“Poor bugger.” “What a tragedy.” “Everything must be so difficult?”
Meanwhile, inside my actual life, I’m usually wondering whether the coffee is ready, what ridiculous thing I can write on Mastodon, whether the dogs have been fed, or why everyone on the internet has suddenly gone mad again.
The disability is there, obviously. I cannot drive, and there are many things I cannot do unaided. Other things just take longer, because much of the world appears to have been designed by someone who assumed every human comes with two fully operational hands.
And most people are remarkably unhelpful.
That sounds like a complaint, but it has an unexpected benefit. If you’re disabled, you become bloody good at finding another way. You have to.
Eventually, you stop wondering how something is supposed to be done and work out how you can do it.
That doesn’t make accessibility unnecessary. Quite the opposite. But disabled people often become extremely skilled at adapting because the world gives us plenty of practice.
Disability is not the central event of my consciousness.
I don’t wake up thinking, “Good morning. I am disabled.”
I wake up thinking, “Coffee.”
Most of the time, I’m not experiencing myself as a tragic medical story. I’m just living.
I’ve had decades to become extremely competent at being this particular slightly damaged model of human being. Sometimes other people seem considerably more concerned about my disability than I am.
It’s sweet.
But unnecessary.
The odd thing about a visible disability is that people often see what doesn’t work before they notice the enormous amount that does.
And from inside here?
It’s mostly just Friday.

#Mahāsati is a simple #meditation method based on cultivating #awareness while repeating a set of movements. It's especially excellent for when the #mind is #distracted or #unquiet or for anyone who finds other methods of #mindfulness meditation too challenging or #boring
Also really excellent for any time when #walking meditation is not a viable option.
#Instructions to start: https://www.mahasati.org/learn_to_meditate.html
(Videos seem to be broken, but the illustrations and descriptions are good enough to start.)The whole (short) #book for those who want to go deeper: https://www.mahasati.org/manualOfSelfAwareness.pdf

I’VE GOT NOTHING
Good morning.
Breathwork done.
Fires on.
Coffee in hand.
Nothing in the head.
The system is running beautifully.
No clutter.
No argument.
No little foreman barking instructions from behind the eyes.
No plan trying to improve the morning.
No spiritual project sneaking in through the side door.
Just the body warm.
The breath is steady.
The coffee is dark.
The fire is doing its ancient work.
And the day is arriving without needing to be managed.
Nothing in the head is not a problem.
There is enough space for this new morning to come all the way in.

https://www.dw.com/en/us-pentagon-must-restore-journalists-access-judge-says/a-76729492. Yet another example of the #Trump Administration ignoring #instructions from the #US #courts, in defiance of the #ruleoflaw, @Nonilex. One might call this the "Fifth Avenue" Principle, see: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/24/donald-trump-says-he-could-shoot-somebody-and-still-not-lose-voters.

“When I was ten years old I bought a paperback book, How to Make Animated Cartoons, by Nat Falk, published in 1940.” … “More importantly for me, however, the book was clear and straightforward; the basic information of how animated films are made registered on my tiny ten-year-old brain and, when I took the medium up seriously at twenty-two, the basic information was still lurking there.”
The Animator's Survival Kit, Richard E. Williams

Hardware- vs. Software-RAID. Which one?
Reasons for using RAID include increasing fault tolerance through redundancy or improving data throughput.

Warning label on the back of a USB LED strip.
Guess it is OK to sprinkle a bit of fire on it but don't completely immerse it. Also make sure you have some dults around, whatever they are.
Unsurprisingly the light strip is faulty and I have to return it.
