Oh. I thought I'd blocked you. My bad.

Is it OK to wish people a happy new year even though after January 20th the odds of having one are vanishingly small?
@samlitzinger I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

You know about disposable vapes?
many brands are powered by the same lithium-ion cells that are used to make huge battery packs for electric cars or ebikes
but with vapes, they're just ... thrown out
Chris Doel got 130 dead vapes, took the batteries out, and used them to create a new rechargeable battery pack for his ebike
It worked *great*
His question: "Why they hell are they being thrown away after one use?"

@cindyweinstein I keep telling people that wishing everyone you meet a Merry Christmas is like telling everyone happy birthday when it's your birthday.
@cindyweinstein I've gotten into the habit of always responding to "Merry Christmas" with "Chag sameach."

Legal scholars argue Trump should be disqualified under the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause when Congress certifies the 2024 election. They cite impeachment, Colorado courts, and the January 6 Committee as evidence of insurrection. Though unlikely, they urge Democrats to challenge Trump’s eligibility to defend the Constitution.

In 2025, normalize saying 'I don't like it' instead of 'I don't understand.' You do understand, but you don't like it. Please stop inviting us to explain when you're really asking us to justify.

Read.
No one wants to read these days. Modi, for instance, despises intellectuals. My classmates surprise me when they sneer about 'intellectuals,' considering we are supposed to be intelligent people!
Read and read well.
