The article is written in a very terse style, but it does mention the dam happens to be (a) south facing, and (b) above the fog line, so it can produce in the winter when fog covers the lowlands. It also mentions that there is a bit of an albedo affect -- the snow reflects some of the sun back up to the panels.

Some drop shippers/manufacturers-on-demand will report to amazon lowish inventory, knowing full well they can get a backorder filled in a day or two, and get the product to you within the same time frame. Or do it the other way -- report that they have way more than they physically have on hand, but can make/backfill within their deadline -- so their listing rises to the top.

There are so many games going on from all the players.

You can let GitHub be a read only mirror of code berg, or make one final commit to GitHub to each repo’s Readme.md with links to the code berg repo, then archive it on git hub. That way links and references still work, and you can work on the new platform.

If he not that far behind God, I'm not sure I like that God. That's not the God I was taught about.

I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocaine powder.

China is very quietly executing the "Never interrupt your enemy when they are a making a mistake" strategy.

We've tried this before. In 1997. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_for_Internet_Content_Selection

The push for this form of age verification is to "close the loop" of strong identity between a physical person, and online content access. And unfortunately, all the relevant parties are aligned on this one:

  • Site owners want to prevent non-people AI from accessing their content
  • Authoritarian leaning governments want to track and control who gets access to what, and who can even make content available in the first place
  • Ad Companies want to make sure ads are being served to real people
  • Operating system vendors can kill open source by ensuring this is mandated at the OS level, in a non-bypassable way, so signed/TPM/closed source nonsense.
  • Parents who don't understand the technology enabling this but believe that this 'protects the kids' will also support it.

How much does UPDATE tickets SET holder = @newuserid WHERE holder = @olduserid cost?

More likely, China will just loan/give it to them, in exchange for some future favors. I'm sure China projecting their influence all the way in our hemisphere will give folks warm fuzzies.

"Oh, and we're gonna need you to carry it up to Calvary for us too, k?"

I will preface by saying, I hate it so much, and fear the day we can no longer put TPM into 'user mode' and enroll our own keys for our own signed & authorized OS (on hardware we own, in our house, not in th cloud), BUT if you are building an operating system focused on gaming, performance, and security, implementing and securing trusted + measured boot so the hardware platform ensures all stages of the bootloader, OS + game are the exact code the vendor intended is the absolutely correct way to implement anti-cheat. Sketchy 3rd party kernel mode modules that rummage around your system reporting what to who knows who wouldn't be needed at all in this environment.

 

Thank you to all our vendors and buyers last year for making the fourth post-pandemic season run smoothly. Swapfest's 2026 season is expected to run as usual with the dates listed below.

The link is the main page, and lists the upcoming dates for 2026. First one appears to be Apr 19, 2026. (but check the main page for updates!)
