Prions. Why did it have to be prions? (Again.) The antivax trope that vaccines cause prion disease is an old one, and antivaxxers are trying desperately to resurrect it to apply to COVID-19 vaccines.

Just turn on the news shows like Good Morning America some morning and try to find any mention of this crisis facing our democracy. The smiling ghouls called “hosts” make millions of dollars a year helping conceal a deadly toxin coursing through the veins of America. We never call them out.

first and only time i agree with jimmy donaldson. the promise of the creator economy is a myth whose propagation helps the platforms and plenty of other parasitic industries built up around them.

Honestly, that's showbiz in general. There's a great quote from David Mamet - yes, I know, but he's not wrong here - in "Bambi Vs. Godzilla" about Hollywood workers. To wit: in every other industry, the employer has to pay workers *something*.

!Friendica Admins I'm trying to figure out the origin of content reports on my server. The UI doesn't have that. The query I've come up with is below. It seems to be correct for a local user but I'm getting some weird results for remote users.

SELECT

`account-view` on report.`reporter-id` = `account-view`.id;

I've got a spot on my resume labeled "Old Certifications". It's got certs like Ascend Switching Expert, Fujitsu FLM-xxx, Nortel DMS, and HPux.

I'm thinking my VMware certs are probably going to end up there sooner rather than later.

In another example of how, in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, everything antivax that was old is new again, Steve Kirsch is claiming that vaccine cause something like shaken baby syndrome, an old antivax trope used to exonerate baby killers.

10 mile fasted Zone 2 run didn’t go as well as my 9 mile one two weeks ago, even in earlier section. I was woefully unprepared for how much more sweating I did this time despite comparable weather. I was much closer to feeling bonked too. When I got home; an additional 20 minutes of walking later, I did a blood glucose test that clocked in at 109. So I’m thinking of adjusting hydration with G-Zero before switching to adding pre-run or during the run fueling. #running #training #fitness
in reply to Hank G ☑️

Hi mate, I saw you shared a GTN video. Recently, in one of their videos (gtn coach corner) they were advocating against fasted training. Basically they support fueling and hydrating during the course for anything above 60 minutes.
Personnally, I have an electrolytes and carbs mix in my camelbak for all the 1 hour+ training and I sip a bit of it every 10 minutes or so, right from the start. After 1h30, I've usually drank 1 liter, and my scale still still anounce at least 1kg less than at the beginning of my exercice 'O0.
in reply to Julien

@Julien They would not be the only ones to say that. Ironically on this run in the Marathon Training Academy Q&A Pt 2 episode they talked about the latest research on fasted vs. fueled runs and optimum fueling. TL;DR if the run is 75+ minutes fueling should be done to optimize performance. This is more about experimenting on how far out I can take it before bonking more than what I'd do as an ideal training strategy in perpetuity. One reason I don't want to push it too far however is that according to some sources I've read fasted runs, even with fueling right afterward, are more catabolic than fueled runs.

One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of “trickle-down” economics.

His grandson, Timothy Mellon, is bankrolling Trump's reelection.

Timothy uses his platform to rage against social programs.

This is how dynastic wealth works.

Wealth tax now.

It was when we discovered that aged 53 we were officially categorized as, “late middle age” that I became grumpy.


The evolution of running shoes is fascinating. More fascinating is that apparently you can buy these historic shoes brand new still. Another fascinating factoid: the 1960 Olympic marathon winner did so barefoot because the shoes he brought were giving him blisters. Oh and he set a world recond. #running #history

Eight Possible Explanations -- Many Bad, Some Good -- for SDNY's Delay in Turning Over Michael Cohen Files

Isn't Merrick Garland ultimately responsible for the activities of the DOJ Southern District of New York. He visited there in February. I guess asking how the prosecutions were being managed would have appeared "highly partisan". He needs to be fired.

#FujiNet for #Apple2 needs a network utilities package.

FujiNet's Network device has a wide variety of protocols that it can talk to directly. These include:

* TCP
* UDP
* TELNET
* TNFS
* FTP
* SMB (Windows file sharing)
* HTTP/S (with WebDAV too)

Each of these can be opened via the network device, and treated like a URL, which can be read/written/etc.

There is also the FUJI device, which is used by the CONFIG boot program to do things like mount disks to slots, configure the network, etc.

On the Atari, I implemented the tools as individual utilities:

reshared this

in reply to Thomas Cherryhomes

#FujiNet #Apple2 These tools operate on the FUJI device:

* FCONFIG - Show Wi-Fi Network Configuration
* FEJECT - Eject a disk image from a host slot.
* FHOST - Set a host slot's host name
* FLD - Show the status of the disk slots
* FLH - Show the host host slots.
* FNET - Set Wi-Fi Network
* FNEW - Create a new disk image and mount to a disk slot.
* FRESET - Reset the FujiNet to boot into CONFIG.
* FSCAN - Perform a Wi-Fi network scan

These tools operate on the Network device:

* NCD - Set a prefix for the network device
* NCOPY - Copy something to/from the network and local devices
* NDEL - Delete a file from a network endpoint.
* NLOGIN - Set username/password credentials for protocols that use them
* NMKDIR - Make a directory on a network endpoint.
* NPWD - Print the crurent network prefix
* NREN - Rename a file on a network endpoint.
* NRMDIR - Remove a directory from a network endpoint.

These functions should be exposed in a utility package.

in reply to Thomas Cherryhomes

#FujiNet #Apple2 There are plenty of example applications showing how to talk to the FujiNet:
https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-apps

Since I am swamped, I do not know when I will get to these, and am asking for help from interested #Apple2 coders to implement them.

An example video of what the network functions can do:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqz_AZgxaVY

I am reaching out, because I get very indirect criticisms of "What can the FujiNet do?" and that people don't understand what's possible, and I am working as hard as I can to not only bring FujiNet to more systems, but also to write what firmware and application software I can write, and could really use the help.
