   LONG POST ON #ELNINO / #FLOODING
   As we hear of the effects of the #ClimateEmergency round the world, and see #flooding in #Norway I am reminded of #StormDesmond that hit #Cumbria between 5th & 6th Dec 2015. In 48 hours #Thirlmere in #LakeDistrict recorded 405mm of rainfall in combination with severe gales up to 81mph. This was an El Nino year.

   It was the 4th major storm of the autumn. The ground and the lakes were already saturated.

   My laptop is from 2013. It was OK back then. It's now running #Debian and works fine. It got an SSD a few years ago and a new battery last year.

   It does all the things I need a laptop for and would be good enough for 99% of consumers.

   Most people could greatly benefit in many ways from #Linux. What's a good way to get people to try Linux? Genuine question.

   "People only understand the full impact of their gravest mistake once they fully experience its painful aftermath." Futurist Jim Carroll

   It seems pretty certain that a lot of folks are quickly coming to discover there are big implications to certain decisions.

   I won't belabor the point, since we'll probably spend a good part of the year watching folks in the circumstance that fits the reality to be found in today's quote.

   Intrigued with this state of affairs, I decided to go off and explore the science of mistakes. And wouldn't you know it -there is a scientific report about the science of mistakes called, well, The Science of Mistakes.

   I dug into the report and a few other sources about the neurological and other basis for mistakes, and discovered some fascinating things.

   First and foremost, mistakes that are good for you. But they can also be bad for you. Not only that, some people repeat the same bad mistakes over and over again, never learning from those mistakes until some real damage has been done.

   Let's dig in - because these can be valuable innovation & leadership lessons. They might also provide some insight into how we found ourselves in this volatile year.

   It's pretty clear to countless people that 2025 is the year of the big mistake.

   Carefully study today's post quote.

   You'll know what I mean.

   Bypassing Amazon has saved me a few hundred dollars this year.

   It's What I call "Amazonless Prime Day".

   Find a deal on the Amazon site, then go to the manufacturer's own site and find the same deal, with a coupon to sweeten it further.

   Health Insurance companies should be nothing more than payment clearinghouses and have no authority whatsoever to deny any treatment or medication ordered by your physicians.

   It should be illegal for health ins companies to be for-profit, or issue stock, and all executive compensation packages should be capped at less than $1million a year.

   It should be legal to sue existing health ins companies severally and executives individually for causing you harm by denying your treatment or meds.

   in reply to

   We've had generations of kids and adults transition and none of the scare stories have come true.

   There has been no outbreak of violence in restrooms. Trans women haven't swept every sports championship. The rate of regret is essentially zero.

   Trans kids have grown up and gone about their lives.

   But the stigma remains.

   We hear the same made-up bullshit.

   Year after year.

   It's enough to make me despair about human nature.
