Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Yes
No
Poll ends at .

Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.

This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).

Luigi's height and generosity represents the wheat stalk; when we feast upon the harvest we embody Wario's girth and greed.

Waluigi stands for the lean times that come during winter. As the snows melt he is replaced by Mario, whose plumber nature blesses the fixing of pipes that burst from the cold.

If we're not going to get rid of Daylight Savings Time, then can we at least change the switchover to Friday night instead of Saturday so we can have an extra weekend day to adjust?

I hacked car charging to work with my electric bike!

Hi Michigan. I know I've spent the last few years complaining that it doesn't really snow anymore, but this is enough snow. You can stop now. Really.

Maybe we can have one of those new 70°F February days next ... ?

I forgot to get back to Bracket City yesterday, and now my streak of almost 400 is just ... gone
