Normally you see some inter-sports motion between the most competent organizations, so it only makes sense to have some inter-sports motion between the most incompetent organizations as well.

I'm so glad that the NYT has a stringent paywall. Since I cancelled my subscription, there really is no incentive to rage-scroll through that website.

Wel mooi gebaar voor 5 december. Ik hoop dat het met een gedicht & surprise komt.

Jans die echt even de tijd neemt om een boek uit zijn eigen kast te vinden dat goed bij Farioli past. Mooi man.

When is the Danish PM visiting Trump, and is the White House set still in print? The one including the East Wing?

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

.33F/hr at a 30F difference is pretty good! That boils down to slightly inner 1% per hour; my home typically sits around 2%. Still some insulation to go I guess!

Kinda striking how the US desirability did not come back up after 2020. Trust is hard to regain....

How many cabinet members do you know from the year you were born?

(0 for me. Was there anyone but Carter himself in that administration?)

I'd love to know (after Wednesday) what the vote 23/vote 25 matrix looks like. Where did the NSC vote go to? Is the BBB vote the same as last time (iow, it was always a far right crowd, just focusing on different topics)? Are people happily hopping between D66&CDA these days? etc, etc.

Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci flew into the eye of Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that is projected to hit Jamaica.

“It was equal parts scientifically stunning and horrifying from a humanitarian standpoint,” he wrote, flying in one of two groups of hurricane hunters. https://wapo.st/42XpWmq

That sounds pretty close to my setup, other than proxmox instead of kubernetes. Now you've got me thinking about just hosting a duplicate server elsewhere as well.

Thijs Heus @thijsheus.bsky.social · 15d

Yeah, that's what keeps me up at night as well. But I *think* my pw manager keeps a copy on the clients, that gets synced when possible. So most passwords should be safe? Haven't really checked the passkeys/MFA's.

This is, great news for Mark Zuckerberg, should he decide to pursue a scientific career

Am I the only one amazed by the exact number 88 dog whistles that supposedly fit in the east wing?

The White House’s current configuration means there is only a “cocktail area” that holds 88 people “if it’s tight,” Trump said, as he described the new event space as a “world-class ballroom.”
