"Kenya is facing the aftermath of several weeks of torrential rains and severe flooding that have now killed at least 108 people.
Across the country, the floods have disrupted daily life, forcing the closure of schools, rendering roads impassable, and interrupting business activity, particularly in low-lying and informal settlements."
Did you ever hear the myth of Sisyphus’s brother… Monsterdonyphus? Forced to watch the same terrible movies over and over…

(TLDW: a solid litre of water with no-tears-style baby shampoo, or failing that just plain water, don't use dairy, the potential damage from pepper spray makes it more likely to trigger an infection. And do NOT remove contact lenses quickly; wait until you can keep your eyes open with reasonable ease, _then_ remove them.)

once you have mastery, you can half ass things correctly, because you know which half of the ass you need
There's room for all of us.

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days. Snow days are magical and young people should play video games and have snowball fights.
Or go sledding.
And pester their parents who are doing remote office work to make hot chocolate.
Hmph.
I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.
Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the colors they refer to.
It's like a box of Crayola for the internet. Finally, my colorblind self can grab a sample of "dark magenta" that doesn't just look like "grape purple" to everyone else.
The data is freely available as a .txt file under CC0, which I've converted into a .css file here: https://git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.net/src/branch/main/static/xkcd.css
so now when I want a color on my website I can just write `color: var(--xkcd-off-white)` or so on. it's really convenient :)
