If you go north/west, the eclipse will take place a bit higher over the horizon. If you go to the eastern part/coast of Spain, it will be very low to the horizon, which would maybe suck inland but might be cool over the ocean.

If you are in the path of totality, go find a spot early on and just kind of hang out - bring snacks and water and a book. If you aren’t familiar with the area, download a map on your phone because the cell network might be slammed with people. Don’t look at the sun without solar glasses until totality. The moon takes a while to move in front of the sun and the light level gradually drops, but you won’t notice it until probably 90% of the sun is covered. Once totality occurs, you can look at the eclipse with the naked eye.

It is beautiful and indescribable and I was profoundly moved when I watched the 2017 eclipse. I will watch the upcoming one, provided the clouds don’t cover it.

Once the eclipse is over, prepare to wait for traffic. It might be a while to get out because so many people go to such a small area.

You mean every laptop or desktop machine pre-System76?

Erm AKSHUALLY, I was making a reference to the fact that different operating systems run on hardware.

No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

Electric toothbrush is amazeballs.

That’s frustrating, sorry to hear that.

Important question: are you bleeding from the gums when you floss?

Healthy gums can handle normal flossing without bleeding. I floss once a day, before bed. Normal flossing does not involve super hard scrubbing, just enough force to scrape off stuff stuck between the teeth and dislodge stuck particles. You might also want to add some antiseptic mouthwash to your routine after flossing until your gums stop bleeding.

This is happening today. My poor bulbs!

Checking in here with my user icon.

I fucking hate Aptos. It makes my work emails (Outlook) look “quirky” and that is NOT what is needed.

I had the unpleasant experience of being in a group that applied SCRUM to research. Yes, the work involved software implementation, but research is largely antithetical to SCRUM. Yes, you need good research practices but a key aspect is that you don’t know where you will end up. The stand up meetings became 30 minutes twice a week. Arrrg.

And, you know, boil the water. Or bring chlorine tablets or a water filter.

So glowy!

I’m fucked.

Yes. This is just gender stereotypes. Let’s abolish gender stereotypes instead. You do you, fam.

Who pissed on your Wheaties this morning? Got a little mold on your favorite pants?

A little off topic, but your laundry should never be in a condition to allow mold growth. Stuff should be allowed to dry out if it got wet (if you don’t intend to wash it soon) and washed laundry should be promptly dried. If you are doing that and it still happened, you might have a mold problem in your home. The shirt might not be saveable, but this might be the lesson to avoid more expensive mistakes in the future.

Yes

Methinks some folks need to go out and touch grass for a while.
