it's fine with '{"number":0.0000}' though

So, olmocr is producing json with '00' instead of '0', like '{"number":00}', and python won't parse it. I feel like we could all respect each other's time a little better than that.

There's steady distant thunder out there, and the Environment Canada online map with its new lightning layer shows a really active storm, but it's between Edson and Whitecourt, 200km away - can that be what we hear? https://weather.gc.ca/?layers=,radar,lightning&zoom=8&center=53.57571371,-113.35335797

People of the Fediverse, stop everything. This is some true shit happening here: Two-Factor Authentication, a thread:

In French, the word for "factor" is "facteur". But it has another meaning: mailman. Yes, the one who delivers letters in your physical mailbox. For this reason, there is a funny meme in French where 2FA is in fact your mailman coming in and confirming that it's you.
