First 10k race done! Originally my hope was just to complete it but getting just over an hour was way more than I could have hoped for when this journey started just under a year ago! Dragged a willing Aussie along for the ride too who got under the hour for his time.

@DublinAirport Thanks for getting us out through T1 and opening the old immigration desks - appreciate ground staff professionalism on a tough day. Am I after my airline for getting my bag, or will you be organizing it?

A message from daa’s CEO Kenny Jacobs after today’s evacuation of T2. Safety always comes first. Thanks so much to all our passengers for your patience and to our teams right across Dublin Airport for the brilliant job they did today.

Is there some reason why the British public is so wildly statist on random issues like this? You see 'OI! U GOT A LOICENSE MATE??' jokes but like, really, why are they so eager to ban and hyper regulate so many trivial things? Is there some cultural trauma I don't know about?

Another one to add to the British public love a ban list, by a 3-1 margin people back banning the sale of slushies to children. Parents of young children are the most supportive.

@JeremiahDJohns A UK doctor once mentioned that malpractice insurance closes some of the gap, particularly for surgeons.

Can you even imagine what would happen to the NHS if the US gave an immediate green card to any British doctor who wanted it?

Inspired by @Gammitin, what is this unusual retro bit of memory I dug out a box last week. Way too obvious identifiers redacted.

Horizon: Forbidden West main game done at 40h. A surprise recommendation from the xoogler discord, but enjoyed it a lot more than the recent assassin's creed games

Dear Tech Nerd Friends, Writing an article and looking for some inspiration. What if instead of NAT and more NAT, we had just migrated to IPv6 some time in the early 2000's. Outside of the obvious, how would this have changed the modern internet ?

@pumplekin Peer to peer might still be a prominent mechanism. We might have refocused our energy on some of the more esoteric header concepts (lots more load bearing flow labels), or on multihoming techniques. Shallow FIB boxes would have been valid in more architectures

Had a ~10 year old kid walking through this train stop, sit next to me, and ask me why my laptop has Linux on it. I explained why, and he told me I was stupid and should just use Windows like everyone else. Guess I've been told by a shoulder surfing pre-teen ...

Anyone know why a lot of US property pricing estimates on Zillow looks like a sawblade ?
