Daylight Savings ticks over in a week, playing havoc with my domestic and international scheduling for no discernible benefit.

Changing what time it is twice a year does me personally more harm than good, and for this reason the practice must be abolished globally. British Columbia had the right idea.

The next NZ Government should get on that. Stars know the current one won't.

Love this tale of some delicious malicious compliance.

Problem solved with a bit of help. Maybe now I'll stop futzing with the code and actually write the core of the website.
Screaming externally at CSS coding is not how I expected to use the past two hours, but here we are: a dozen tutorial sites scoured, a dozen more changes made, no functional results whatsoever.
This looks quite fun

Mildly cursed thought: a sci-fi version of the Scottish play, where Macduff came from a cloning facility.

"Despair thy charm,
And let the angel whom thou still hast served
Tell thee Macduff was from machine and tank
Programm'd, conceiv'd."

"I see you have a new sword," the swordmaster said. "May I have a look?"

"No," said the student. "It is a cursed blade. I would only draw this in dire need."

"What kind of curse? Must draw blood, or will betray you?"

"It will speak, and tell an embarrassing truth about both wielder and opponent."

Checking in with the Fediverse: Any geography/cartography enjoyers around? Having a knowledge of TTRPGs would be nice, but not necessary.

Trying to convert a real map to match a videogame map to adapt to a TTRPG is surprisingly tricky, but I don’t know if that’s just because I can’t judge scale or have no sense for numbers? Or it could be a task that Was Not Meant To Be.

I am once again screaming externally at the weather ruining my already-limited ability to reliably sleep.
