Anyone come to mind?
βThe DunningβKruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.β
Up in the tree, Archer is lying on a branch like he has all the time in the world.
Maybe heβs thinking about lifeβs big questions. Maybe he just came up with a joke so good heβs making himself laugh. Either way, he looks like someone with great wisdomβ¦ or at least someone who wants you to think that.

Thank you!!
You can use the brightness of a set of lightbulbs to verify synchronism. Each bulb is across the same phase letter on the two systems.
For a three phase system once the voltages, frequency, and rotation on the two sets of three phases match, the bulbs will all dim and then go out. Then you can sync.
"If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision-making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product."

About to take a shower, having been clambering around in my loft again.
It's definitely one of those "three solid points of contact at all times" lofts, not the wimpy floorboarded type; if you imagine all the plasterboard not being there, so between the joists it's a straight drop into the room (or stairwell!) below, that would probably inspire the correct amount of caution.

The fact that the majority of computer users have only 2 real options for browsers, Chrome and Firefox, and neither of them now takes a stand against selling user data, is the biggest selling point on us needing new options.
Google should have never been allowed to have as much browser share as it does.
Firefox should hear from every user that one of the main reasons we use their browser is they didn't sell our data.
And we need to support other browser makers. This needs to end.
Brewing up some trouble this #FursuitFriday with my @azakir and our dear friend Fahcs!

This #FursuitFriday as I'm ill. Harks back to when I was ill at Scotia, but wanted to go suit for the group photo.
So Toothless Kigu was deployed. As was Tootless plushie.
Only annoyance, I didn't have my badge by @blue with me to set it off perfectly!
Well, I've completed watching Disenchantment. Really really good β I need to watch it again. (And I'm not just saying that because of Jasper.)

The first thing I noticed was that the pain was gone. The tall, thin, hooded figure let me bask in that for a moment.

"Oh," I said, looking down at the frail vessel I had inhabited all my life. "Right."
COME
"Do you remember," I asked as we walked, "everyone you come for?"
YES
"Fondly?"
I DO NOT JUDGE. AS A RULE, I SPEND LITTLE TIME WITH PEOPLE AS THEY LIVE
"No, but you spend some time with them after, like now."

@tilton I support and install medical software.
Windows is an absolute goddamn travesty these days and itβs indeed zero different at hospitals.
I want fucking out. I canβt take this shit anymore. I could rant for hours the shit I run into due to MSβ enshittification. Why though. Sigh. I just need escape from it. I canβt touch or support Windows-related shit anymore. It triggers me so gd hard now.
#NetZero economy booming in the UKβ¦
βThe net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy, analysis has found, providing high-wage jobs across the country while cutting climate-heating emissions and increasing energy securityβ
#Tories and #Reform proved wrong again. But will any of this be reported in the rightwing rags and on GBeebies?
Green sector growing at triple the rate of the UK economy, providing high-wage jobs and increasing energy securityDamian Carrington (The Guardian)
There is currently a ceiling on #NetZero growthβ¦Labour understands it needs to upgrade the national grid, to ensure that new renewables can be plugged in, but also so it can cope with more homes and businesses running on electricity for warmth (heat pumps) and transport (EVs).
But what they donβt get is the scale of the skills shortage. We need to train and upskill people in every part of the country to work on renewables & retrofit.
It is disparaging, but Rachel Reeves has been very economical with the truth about her CV. I donβt like the phrase, but before we dismiss it, itβs worth looking at who was referring to her in this way and whyβ¦

Rachel Reeves suffers with the nickname βRachel from Accountsβ. Only it looks like her own accounting has not been that good, and nor is her CV all she claims it to be.Funding the Future
And a pretty neat looking instrument!
I did learn the accordion for a bit in school, but (like with a few other instruments) never really followed through on that, always hopping to the next interest. A bit sad, but also fun to have tried a few different things, and a bit of direction of what to look at now.
@crypticcelery I went through a similar thing, I was in a rock band in school playing piano, then bass, then guitar (as and when needed haha), until I bought a beaten up old secondhand accordion as a joke and just kinda fell in love.
Takes a while to figure out what instrument is right for you!
I think for me the order was accordion, guitar, recorder (forced), piano, a tiny bit of bass. The accordion still was fun, but also heavy for me at the time.
I think I might be settling on vocals (and a capella) currently, though I am still tempted to try piano again, as a vehicle to get into a bit more of the "theory" side of it. And maybe improve some of my pitch :D
