The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.
There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.
"Curious. What ritual is this?"
"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"
"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.
God, the dryer is performing so much better now. If you own a tumble dryer and you haven't taken it to bits and cleaned it in >3 years, DO IT NOW.
It reduces the risk of fire and improves efficiency.
There was a programme on the radio on Monday where consumers and people from the auto industry were comparing notes about the latest compulsory driver's aids.
Most of the consumers were complaining that they didn't work, were intrusive or did the wrong thing, with constant complaints about lane guidance going mad at junctions. One driver had the misfortune to have a car that misread speeds signs causing it to produce an alarm on the dash board. The problem was, when they looked at the dash board, it produced another alarm telling them to look at the road.
The talking head from industry said that the technology could not really be held responsible for not being able to understand certain circumstances and that drivers needed to be aware of the responsibilities. Can you imagine industry saying that if a hydraulic failure caused a plane to drop out of the sky? It was the pilot's fault for not understanding their responsibilities? How?
If a safety of life technology is not ready, you don't ship it. It is statements like that that make me want to ask awkward questions in public forums, like 'Have you heard of EN 61508?'
The Pacific Northwest holds a kind of beauty: forests, mountains, rivers, the ocean, and the way the sound of Snoqualmie Falls blends into the trees.
And in the middle of it all, Andy's family, simply sharing a moment that feels real.
They are Andy, Cove, Geo, Storm, and Sprout.

I love how extra features on clocks are called 'complications'
we should use this for extra functionality on everything
"At last!" He held up a simple gold ring. "I have searched for this for years!"
"What is it?"
"A shapeshifting ring. I'll put it on... Imagine myself as... Ah! Wonderful!"
"I see no difference?"
"I have no joint pain!"
"Wow! Can it do other changes?"
"Anything you can imagine. Want to try?"
The differences between cis and trans people using this ring are astonishing.
You can use the ring for other things then to completely destroy your body? 😲

A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated and an alien emerged. It skittered to a notice board and carefully studied one of the posters.
It returned to the spaceship and soon came out carrying a cat and a mobile phone.
"Hi, we have found your cat Pebbles...Yes... Our secret base on Ganymede."
There’s something about the moment just before the arrow flies, like the world knows something’s about to change.
Somehow, even in any tension, Cifer makes it look easy. It’s not just about hitting the mark. It’s about choosing when to let go, and why.
Picture for Cifer, the jackal.

We can ruin the biosphere enough to make ourselves go extinct, but life will go on. Something else will evolve to take advantage of whatever wreck we leave behind!
It really is about self-preservation, and presenting it as "caring for the environment" or "saving the planet" doesn't quite express that. Perhaps we need to make more noise about the fact that we need to do these things to save ourselves.
Somewhere, somebody woke up today with the intent to create another layer of make
tooling on top of all existing layers.
Don't be that person.

There is a thriving local business scene around where I live, where small shops will remove cameras from cell phones for you. You bring them your phone, they physically remove the camera and/or block it up with epoxy.
And why is that? The biggest local employer is the US Navy. Naval Station Bremerton is where they repair aircraft carriers, and Naval Submarine Base Bangor is where they keep all the Trident Nuclear Subs and munitions. No cameras allowed on base!

Easy answers are always bullshit
Most people are incompetent and would die in nature
That's the problem, and the cause of "inequality"
