Whichever Bunnings MBA thought it was a good idea to scatter 90mm downpipe fittings in four completely different parts of the store should be shot at dawn. And same for whoever implemented their search that finds different incomplete results for the same search on different devices. Elbows with all the other sized elbows, saddles with saddles, pipes with pipes (short & long on different floors even!), it's almost rage-inducing
The ancient Hebrew name YHWH for g*d is related as "I am that I am" but is closer to "I am existence itself". The Commandments (which again is an incorrect translation!) make a lot more sense in this light. "Nothing comes before Existence itself. You shall not hold anything else as more important". Without existence we can have nothing else. To obliterate (unexist) anything is the prime evil. These aren't commandments, but prerequisites for a civil society.
Don't conflate Judaism with Zionism.
Descartes saw a horse pulling a cart and asked it "are you a horse?" The horse said "I think not", and vanished. That put Descartes before the horse.

I'm still happily using a 2014 MacbookPro, as a travel machine, upgraded to Ventura using OCLP. Homebrew can't update because the core module gettext fails to find a json.h, needed by spit, an LLM query tool. Json.h is present in json-c, but the sandbox doesn't allow gettext to find it. brew uninstall json-c and it works, then you can reinstall. This toot brought to you by multiple hours of spelunking. And the need for it, from GNU gettext maintainers thinking I might want to ask an LLM for help
There once was an X from place B

AI psychosis reminds me of the "Christian" prosperity sect that teaches "name it and claim it" aka "blab it and grab it". It is exactly like this, and just as ineffective
Then NCSA announced new licence conditions, restricting open source rights. Something had to be done. A group of people decided to collect and test and merge all the patches they could get. "A patchy webserver" was born... better known as "Apache webserver". And the rest is history.
The first web server was the NCSA httpd. It was small, simple and had a lot of room for improvement, but it was open source and available by FTP, so lots of people made individual improvements. There were no public source repositories and no binary distributions, so these patches got around by email following grass roots discussion in Usenet and other places. NCSA didn't collect or distribute patches, so every site ran a different version of the code, depending on which patches had been applied
The Sydney to Melbourne "Express Passenger Train" spanning Australia's most in-demand long distance route has been stationary for an hour only 2 hours into the journey. A level crossing ahead won't close, so we can't traverse it. Like, anywhere else a guard would close the crossing by waving a flag.
The same train two days ago was over an hour late with similarly dumb excuses.
We aren't going to beat climate change this way, folk!
Also, it wasn't that I don't do sports. I was a competive sailer, expert skier, winning race-walker, and hold a lowly Asia-Pacific medal in radio direction-finding (like orienteering, but using DF gear on an unmarked map) competition - I was a reasonable runner in my 50s. I'm just not that interested in team sports, except volleyball
