More and more websites have anti-adblock measures these days, some going so far as to tell you to uninstall your ad blocker altogether. I understand the impulse, but you are basically telling your users to meaningfully reduce their security for your benefit.

And... just like that, I'm back to masking in ALL stores indoors, and am thinking about outdoors, because an entire family in my personal sphere just turned up COVID positive (after visiting a sick relative in the hospital, and the relative ended up being there because of COVID-19)

Eh, crap, re-implementing stricter personal COVID-19 measures after just relaxing them, an (entire) family I know with COVID or recovering, after catching it from an older relative who was hospitalized--they later figured out, COVID-19. (ie Once again, moving back to "all indoor interaction in public N95" -- pondering where I'll go with outdoor in crowds.). #covid19

Come to think of it, I don't know if ANY response to any cyberattack involved full transparency from the victim.

Oh well, one of the benefits of doing mostly digital is that you can upload your massive .adif logs to any number of websites (and you should!) for redundancy.

I'm sorry, when someone says "This is not an issue with Y" when Y is down, I don't believe them, especially if they've had problems with being sufficiently transparent in the past.

Pro tip: stop putting cheese on your broccoli. Instead

Put hollandaise sauce on it.

You can always be in a chiptune mood when the tunes are *this good*

For today's #scalemodelsunday (which should have been #scalemodelsaturday but whatever) I figured I'd show you that I can do more than just military models. Here's the 1/48 Antonov An-2 by HobbyBoss. It's a fine, simple kit, which befits the real thing. The only things that are lacking are the non-skid surfaces on top of the wing (easily added by you) and some rigging diagrams, but other than that it's super easy. Go nuts with weathering!
