I used to work down the street from this place. They have several practice poles that the students learn to climb. As I understand it, the pole broke and landed atop the student, so it wasn't just the fall that killed him.

Walrus week wasn’t as engaging for Grandson_4 as previous animals’ weeks were. But Grandson_3 is enjoying them and starting to pick up things from the videos.
We watched a couple of hungry polar bears 🐻❄️ attempt to have walrus for dinner. Both were unsuccessful. We also saw a number of bears attacking at once, and they were able to isolate some walrus pups and elderly or sickly walruses. The whole group feasted.
The narrator said that this was unusual, as polar bears are not just antisocial, they actively dislike one another. -

The #AI #sgbb #semi-grammatical #bot_babble is already clogging up search results with garbage results. https://fosstodon.org/@foo/112185566570588050
To be honest, in that part of #SoCal, I'd probably directly contact the University of California's Riverside campus with that question. That would cut through all the #SEO manipulation of search results and get information straight from someone who knows what they're talking about. -

One day, I'll have the time, interest, and resources to figure out which organizations & lobbyists are keeping the US on the spring forward fall back track. -

2nd son and his wife are stepping in to pay my cellphone bill and get my phone migrated to a less expensive carrier. One of my brothers recently took over payments on my mom's phone, but did so late in the billing cycle ... leaving me with more bill than funds. -

One might say that my relationship with various methods of receiving bills and receipts is "complicated".
And that's not counting the ones where you have to log into their site every month to download an encrypted file and copy the individual file's passcode. Nobody has time to securely store a file-by-file passcode. Either give it to me unencrypted or use a single passcode that applies to every file.
(This topic came to mind because of @clacke's discussion of storing his receipts in #DeltaChat (which AFAIK is just a chat-like interface atop e-mail ... so I guess all that would also be available in his inbox). -

In the 20 years or so that I've been travelling for work, I have had to scan receipts. First of all, there was often a deluge of paperwork and receipts, and there's no way I could carry those around and keep track of them. They had to be scanned, though they originally had to be on paper, so I could fax them in.
After a while, $EMPLOYER stopped requiring receipts to be faxed and allowed us to upload .pdf and .tiff documents ... so paper became a special case and even more burdensome.
And of course, I've used the submit receipts and delete local copies method because even dealing with electronic receipts across personal and employer computers is too much hassle.
Now, however, every company wants to do electronic receipts and "pull" type billing (where they hit your card or bank account periodically without any action on your part, and if they make an error, you have to depend upon them agreeing and sending excess funds back ... while any related overdraft or overlimit fees would remain your responsibility). They also all want you to submit an e-mail address and a cell phone number so they can spam you with unneeded and unwanted notifications.
This happened just as I no longer had access to a receipt scanner (or any other scanner ... I've long used the "tape receipts to a sheet of paper" method and a regular scanner), so going fully back to paper hasn't been a viable option either. -

My mom sent me an SMS to remind me that I came home one day and excitedly shared "'Yellow River' by IP Freely" (I believe it was something in MAD Magazine). I was laughing so hard that I could barely say it. For months afterward, whenever I thought of it (or read that issue of MAD, purchased because of it), I laughed like some sort of maniac.
That was shared by a girl in my class named Cynthia. She seemed to be almost twice my height and more than twice my weight. The next year I changed schools and I don't think I ever saw her again. But she used to share lots of funny things (which often seemed to be sourced from MAD). -

I'm in the market for a GS instance to move my presence there. Also for a Friendica instance that isn't Libranet.de (intolerably buggy, and since I've hosted ~F instances in the past, I know it wasn't anywhere near this bad in the past).
While I'm at it, I'd like to set up new secondary accounts on a couple of Misskey instances.
In all cases, I desire an easy ToS and less power-mad administrator ... but not so easy or hands-off that racists and a$$holes congregate there. -

There's about one month left on the hosting here. At this point, I don't have funds to renew it, so it is probably time to start an orderly shutdown.

I used to run a small, closed-registration TT-RSS instance, so I even though I'd already "got" RSS years earlier, that made it so much better.
I'd run a (similarly small and closed-registration) Friendica instance, and used its built-in RSS functionality, but TT-RSS was just so much better for me.
At the time, it even had a mobile client.
I originally dropped it because the main developer stopped doing releases and recommended that people run it from git. To me, that was like being in perpetual beta, and I didn't want to do that.

The only thing about this move is that I didn’t yet visit #sonOne’s family. I am hoping to get there next month. We’re still trying to arrange a day or two with #Daddy_A, most likely at the oldest’s house, but his finances have been precarious for some time, and there’s a big chance he won’t be able to make the trip. -

We have been reading “Charlotte’s Web” and “The Wizard of Oz” with #GS3 and #GS4 recently. The five year old likes the wiz so much that he carries the book to bed with him, so it doesn’t disappear. (Quite a valid fear with his youngest brother around; the middle child did the same thing at that age.
