Easier to see the 3D when it's only the camera that's moving.

Id like to put my lab servers to work archiving US federal data thats likely to get pulled - climate and biomed data seems mostly likely. The most obvious strategy to me seems like setting up mirror torrents on academictorrents. Anyone compiling a list of at-risk data yet?

It’s unspeakable how many cryptic little icons have invaded new apps.

- little downward caret
- ellipsis
- VERTICAL ellipsis
- plus sign
- click your own profile pic to access everything important
- gear
- gear, but it does only 1 thing, which is never useful
- hamburger
- hamburger but only 5 items inside, & only 1 is useful
- ℹ️

The future is me with a big text file, 1 heading per app, saying what sequences to click for each workflow. It becomes outdated every 36 hours.

I hope you're all on the path to IPv6

Bringing back solar time
- UTC offset is now your latitude divided by 7.5 hours
- East-west travel now causes time dilation
- Standing on one of the poles approaches an event horizon where your watch hands stop and the dial spins at 0.0007 RPM

Nailing 0700 local time to sunrise:
- all of the above
- time dilation traveling north-south too
- for half of the year, all clocks in the Arctic and Antarctic Circles read NaN

BTW if you are a U.S. voter, and you try to vote today, and you are denied because of problems with your registration, be aware you may cast a provisional ballot. They put it in an envelope and count it later.

- HOW DO I DO THIS?

Ask the poll workers.

- WHAT IF THEY WON'T HELP?
- HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M ELIGIBLE?
- HOW DO I FOLLOW UP AFTERWARD?

I made an effort to research this and the only answer I can find is "call the Democrats". The Democratic Party runs a national hotline at 833-336-8683.
