Today I learned… Octopuses have beaks!
Pulled several short straws in the office World Cup sweep stake: Turkey, Panama and Austria.
Continuing with this year’s theme, today I completed my first sprint triathlon, finishing with a time of 1:55:55 (and coming 155 of 157). My only goal was to complete the event, but got a PB in the pool and now have a baseline to improve upon. https://resultsbase.net/event/7545/results/4318135

Teazle

Rest in peace, my fluffy friend.

So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API:

Mozilla: Opposed
WebKit: Opposed
Microsoft: Several concerns
W3C TAG: Several concerns
Developers: Mostly negative

Chrome: Ships anyway.

Another trip north, this time to Durham, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh and the Berwickshire coast. https://paulrobertlloyd.com/2026/123/a1/great_north/

@BrianBinh I love this etymology because it implies that at some point, someone from England met someone from Spain and all they could think was "this motherfucker is _too Spanish._"
Caught up with a friend I’ve known for over 30 years, for the first time in 5 years. The 4 hours we spent together flew by in a matter of minutes.
In yet another surprising turn of events, today I joined a library. And borrowed a book of fiction. To read.
