    Crow-on-Crow Violence. I normally have my mini-murder of two or three crows who hang out by my window and tolerate me and my tithe of peanuts. But the other day there were five, and one was not welcome. They kept just sidling over on the wire,... https://jwz.org/b/ylCW

    Zombie Loophole. If you posit that souls, ghosts and zombies exist; then one who died with unfinished business, but whose death happened to turn their soulless corpse into a ravening zombie and set their ghost free; then that ghost, upon re-possessing that corpse, would find no resistance at all. Haunting your own zombie just brings you back to life. Probably immortal, possibly with a skin condition. I will not be taking any questions. https://jwz.org/b/ylCR

    The slopfondlers are even sloperating *old* concert posters. This piece of shit keeps showing up in my eBay searches for old DNA Lounge flyers: they are taking dates and venues on which *actual concerts happened in history* and having the Plagiarism Machine vomit out new, terrible posters for them. Apparently you can&#39;t &quot;leave feedback&quot; on a seller without paying them money first. https://jwz.org/b/ylCP

    Well this is annoying in the new web interface. With the default font size (⌘0) it looks ok, but go up just one size (⌘+) and it does this &quot;View full post&quot; truncation crap:

    Question for people who shave their faces with an electric shaver: do you have one that has lasted longer than a year? Recently every one I buy stops taking a charge within 6 months to a year. I assume that all the manufacturers (Wahl, Philips, Braun, Remington, Panasonic, Amazon-allcaps-noname) are now the same cheap Chinese junk inside. Perhaps there is one that is not? https://jwz.org/b/ylB6

    It&#39;s a bear market. A gentleman in the restroom just sold a dick pic for $20. So many guys out here leaving money on the table just giving it away for free. https://jwz.org/b/ylB4

    @galaxis@mastodon.infra.de Bummer. This does not sound like something that is fixable without recompilation so I guess that&#39;s that. I guess I don&#39;t know for sure that 5.14 worked on 10.2.8 in the first place. Maybe only earlier versions worked there.

    The press keeps describing Kimberly Guilfoyle as Don Jr.&#39;s ex-fiancée and that&#39;s so unfair. Let&#39;s remember that she&#39;s a monster in her own right, and describe pickme-bro Gavin Newsom as Kimberly Guilfoyle&#39;s ex-husband, which should be utterly disqualifying for him in any capacity from President to barista. https://jwz.org/b/ylBo

    @zzt@mas.to From 1997 through, I dunno, 2005? my login password on Slashdot was 69. My account never got &quot;hacked&quot;, even at the height of my internet fame and slashdot&#39;s relevance. Honestly I found that disappointing.
