👀 Anybody accidentally switch on their volcano?

Archive satellite image of that particular volcano on the USGS basemap, LOL. I'm surprised King Kong isn't visible.

(Found the high res satellite!) Iinterestingly enough that shakey shakey event in the center of this circular arrangement of clouds. Coincidence, I am sure. (Sentinel-3 OLCS on 8/25/24) #tonga #volcano #earthquake

"I love this music! I've never heard this before! I love finding new music!"

Radio promo: "You're listening to old people's music"

Radio station says: "Music that makes you feel young again!" and I am wondering whose music I am listening to, and how old are they? 🤔

Someone I know just had to undergo a series of rabies shots (bitten by a skunk). Glad they got that taken care of immediately -- once you have signs of rabies, it's too late. You'll die a horrible, painful death as the disease destroys your body. Raccoons and bats are particularly dangerous vectors in California. #rabies

A VT100 terminal would run faster than Windows 11!! What the heck is updating today.... #windows

Hello VT100 my old friend
No stupid patch Tuesday to be had
You ran real slow but reliably
Smooth CRT characters, not too bad

Not selling my data to companies
Nor tracking my keyclicks or what I search for or who
Or constant OS updates
Sucking up my CPU

BBC: "A slew of heat-related deaths in the Mediterranean this year have sparked important questions about how climate change will affect the future of travel. Traditionally, summer is the peak travel season for famously sunny destinations like Greece and Italy, as visitors seek out beachfront getaways. However, as temperatures continue to rise across Europe, many of these bucket list destinations are becoming increasingly uncomfortable and even dangerous, leading travellers and tour companies to alter their plans."
