Really weirded out by this sudden wave of scholarly publishing industry posts about 'trust' and 'trust signals'.
Trust is really really the wrong word here. The publishers _want_ you to blindly trust everything they publish... so naturally they are talking about trust a lot. What we actually need to do is NOT trust things blindly. Test. Validate. Statcheck. Re-run.
Trust as a strategy for those reading or building-upon research just doesnt work.

Yay for our neighbor (directly uphill from us) finally taking out the four dead Arborvitae they claimed we killed after they did a big project that abused their roots. (Guess we all like to blame someone else?) BUT .... wish they'd also take out the ivy on our side.

Jedes 💩 Plugin für WordPress wirbt jetzt mit KI-Unterstützung:
"Lassen Sie KI ihren Content erstellen und haben Sie mehr Zeit für wichtige Dinge"
Sehr toll... KI schreibt Dinge ins Netz mit denen dann weltweit KI-Systeme trainiert werden, die dann Dinge ins Netz schreiben...
Merkt ihr da draußen denn überhaupt noch irgendwas?
Nein. Ich will den Mist nicht! -

mini rant: I hate having to email companies to find out what is in their product. Half the time they don't know themselves.
This rant brought to you by shopping for shoes and home exercise equipment with a latex allergy. #latexallergy #minirant -

Any digital zoom on any still camera should just be a crop.
Stop wasting storage space on your crappy interpolation, ya hosers.

CW: Spoilers SNW’s S03E07

Not even 2 minutes in and I’m already hating the reporter (Beto Ortegas, right?)What do you mean #StarFleet colonizes? They don’t, they reach out for new civilizations, there is a difference between first contact and colonization.
Impose their rules and doctrines on others? Are you thinking #TerranEmpire? Starfleet invites, negotiates, compromises on what is not essential, stands fast for what it is.
What is this? FoxNews survived to the 23rd century?

Friends don't let friends use Title Case. Yet again I see examples of titles and subtitles that are inconsistent because Title Case is such a poorly defined and understood standard. Do. Not. Use.

Trying to focus on a needlessly complex SQL issue, and people keep interrupting.
So now I have the attention span of a goldfish. -

Today is my first workday on standard time and let me just say how frustrated I am.
Rest? It was okay. Woke up sleep drunk yesterday, felt pretty rested today, which is very rare because of my night owl tendencies.
But my office smart lights turned on for their sunset offset at 2:30 and they're sitting on their warm white wind-down color. The one I use to help myself not be quite so awake.
I went out to try to find some metal bits I lost with a magnet on a string at 3:30 because it's miserable out and I knew I was losing light.
I have OPINIONS about standard time vs. DST. And they all boil down to "please for the love of GOD let me see the fucking sun!" Fact of the matter is DST doesn't make people not sleep; that shit became irrelevant with electric lights.
This should probably be a full #RantOfTheMoment, but you get a #MiniRant for now.

I've got less than a week to write my Episcopal Church confirmation letter and no idea what to write.
Usually these things just come to me, I hope this is no different.
I'm not even sure what goes into one of these. My life story? My spiritual journey? What's too much, or too little?
I don't like writing about myself, I can never come up with anything that seems meaningful to me.
Then again, maybe that's the point?
