I just unfollowed 80 dead accounts. Which sucks. Some of these folks I legitimately miss seeing on the Fediverse – but I don’t think they’re coming back.

Damn it. Now I need to find new friends. 😐

@atomicpoet what's your inactive threshold for dead? I go with somewhat over 1 month. And I purge old followers too. Don't want a bunch of weird zombie stalkers.

Nice line of storms churning towards eastern Ontario. Will they make it to , or does the Franktown weather control facility have enough axions in the broken PQ-symmetry tank to fend it off?

Severe thunderstorm watch is on. 24 and steamy out.

no sign of the anti-precipitation dome yet. Severe thunderstorm warning issued for

Going to light the BBQ early and try to get snausages done before it hits.

Thanks-for-nothing, guy asleep in front of the "weather dome" button at Franktown weather control. Maybe this is the universe where he wakes up and mashes it at the last second?

Canada is in a constitutional crisis, it's just that no one wants to admit it. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/heres-what-i-learned-from-my-conversation-with-justin-trudeau-theres-only-one-way-to/article_5563637a-148c-11ef-b074-97c48c751727.html

@justinling damn journalists, always hiding their writing behind paywalls so they can eat... oh well... I'm sure Canada's constitutional crisis will find me eventually.

@justinling would I snatch the food from the mouth of a bebe journalist as it's being passed from it's giant, faceless overleveraged, corporate mamon?

I probably would, just not really worth my time today. 😂

What do you call your variable when the thing the variable represents is a class? (I mean a class full of students)

johnefrancis,

@tito_swineflu clazz

@johnefrancis@mastodon.social avatar

@tito_swineflu very common in Java reflection examples, since class is a reserved keyword.

I think that part of what I've enjoyed about the A-Team is that it has all the trappings of a show that would be very RA-RA POLICE ARE GOOD, MILITARY IS GOOD, etc.

But the heroes are explicitly wanted fugitives on the run from a corrupt military, and often warring with, or at least confronting, corrupt police officers.

ACAB, obviously, and they rarely pretend otherwise.

@ajroach42 "convicted of a crime they didn't commit". The justice system is never infallible. That's why the death penalty can't work.

  • development
  • debuggning

@johnefrancis@mastodon.social avatar

Sorted out the #gardening. Drip tape leaks fixed. A few weeds pulled. Ground cloths adjusted to cover a few bare patches. About 10 tomato plants from a neighbor put in. Mine need a few more days to grow inside under the lights.

Opened a corner of the tarp and turned that and put in 10 potato plants.

Some tomatillo and eggplant still germinating or sprouted under the lights.

Ate a few asparagus a while ago. Year 2 for them so I will leave them to get stronger.

I have about 1kg of mammoth sunflower seeds saved from last year. I want to plant a wall of them, but I have to figure out how to protect them from vermin until they reach 2ft and toughen up.

@MichaelPorter a municipality can ask for a VOR...an official Transport Canada restriction on vessels. Not sure if that's what they are doing in Quebec. They also sometimes set the ramp fees as $1500 but free for cottage members...I don't like that...lakes are for everyone.

Another mRNA #vaccine win:

Scientists have developed a cancer vaccine that can deliver treatments more effectively in people who have brain cancer and teach their immune systems to fight back. They’ve tested it successfully in four people now, and are moving on to more testing.
