…i eat uncooked oats (steel cut or rolled) occasionally, and they’re a staple ingredient in muesli as well: is that a dicey practice?..

…times have changed: i used to be kicked out of stores for bringing my own bag…

…how about bluetooth in an '81 98?..

…that’s the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer function keys…

…well he’s not…

…the moneyed class made sure that commerce always benefits their own rent-seeking intermediation first…

…so you’ve never played waverace: that’s the look of the brightly-lit tropical island environment for the first course, which immediately shifts a hazy muted marsh on the second course, then a stormy industrial-port waterfront, then a spectacular urban night course, each presenting entirely different takes on ambient lighting, dominant environmental color pallets, and even water and atmospheric weather conditions…

…the elise’s 2ZZ-GE is nearly as highly-strung as the F20 (splits the difference from the F20C at 8500 RPM) but it’s also 10% less displacement, which may make the most difference in fuel economy compared to pushing 40% more weight in the S2000…

…i wish my mazdas revved so high!..

…i’m surprised to read that; my elise and MX-5s all get around thirty miles per gallon on the street, it’s only on tracks where fuel economy drops precipitously…

…our orange kitty does the same, but he’s the smartest cat we’ve ever known: perfectly adept at opening doors on his own, so we must keep them all deadbolted lest we find wild critters brought into the house, which has happened on several occasions…

(he’s also pretty good at operating our ipads and desktop computers; he’s sent gibberish text-messages more than once and i worry that someday he’ll buy something online!)

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…i bought a mazda 2 ten years ago and it was fantastically practical, agile, efficient, and affordable; came time for a new car and they’d replaced it with a f*cking SUV…

…ringworld, johnny mnemonic, and cube all taught me that monofilament is material to be feared…

…looks like the retailer-exclusive cover for fizban’s treasury of dragons, too…

…and the great thing is by classifying your employees as EXEMPT, you can get away with it, too!..

…i’m surprised to see DHL rank so highly in that list: what’s their domestic market focus, business-to-business freight logistics?..i seldom see DHL packages and when i do they’re almost exclusively of international origin…

…from what i’ve read, shapeways and all their subsidiaries have ceased operation entirely and have no corporate officers; i’m guessing that if the site’s still up there’s noone behind the wheel…

…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…

…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…

edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..
