Should have called it "climate instability" or "climate chaos" from the start.

How do you feel about ducks?

I just had Find My Device say it can't find my Pixel Buds, while they were connected to the phone!

I was hoping that the new trackers would be a better replacement for Tile, but I guess not.

8610 Writing the digits in descending order is the best way to write any number.

Giffgaff accepts international billing addresses, so is easy to set up even if you're not a UK resident. I have maintained a UK sim with them for years, despite being based in the US.

What is this? Some sort of COBOL or something.

This scheme does not need a list, and if necessary could be simplified enough, some common part with first three letters of the site:

• For Instagram: my-memorable-password-Ins
• For Facebook: my-memorable-password-Fac

The memorable part could be the initials of a favorite song lyric, or something: nggyunglydIns, nggyunglydFac etc.

But the suggestion of using the Chrome password manager sounds like it will be seamless. I don't know if it would work on IOS, but on Android it fills passwords in for many apps, not just web pages.

Based in reality, I think.

And if anyone is wondering, riz is charisma.

All the new slang is just abbreviation, e.g. based, riz.

Are you sure? With my knees, you'll need to help me up again.

You say potato, I say tomato.

The 13 years limit was more to do with Facebook account limits.

PlayStation recommends 12 and up.

But Nintendo VR (the switch Labo kit) was for age 7 and up.

When this came up on Reddit forums, there were never any conclusive studies cited.

The same idea is part of the background of the poster of this live-action stop motion (yes really) movie.

Segmentation fault?

Some people posted video of "unknown light in the sky" a few times, which happens regularly, but somehow it caught enough attention that everyone started looking at the sky.

It turns out that many people do not recognize a plane, or Venus, or a SpaceX launch, or a Chinese lantern, or whatever because now they've been led to expect to see something mysterious.

Debunker Mick West posted on YouTube showing how one famous video actually showed lights on a hillside, by lining up the image with Google Street view.

A few sightings do seem unusual, but many are just flashing lights moving over cities that happen to have busy airports.

Before even getting to documentation, I see so many projects that don't have a short summary of what they do (and maybe what to not expect them to do).

As an example, Home Assistant. I can tell that it involves home automation, so can I replace Google Home with it? It seems like it doesn't do voice recognition without add-ons and it can work with Google Assistant. Do I still need accounts with the providers of smart appliances, or can it control my bulbs directly?

None of that is very clear from the website.

I've seen plenty of other projects where it's assumed there's no need to explain it's overall purpose.

Befriend ducks.

One day, they may do something for you in return.

My first example was "a cup of frozen chicken strips".

I know I can make a guess how much they mean, but I could easily be off by a factor of 2.

It really wouldn't be hard to have the weight listed.

This sounds like a catch-22 problem.

Maybe scales could be improvised, with a stick, some cups, and awkward-shaped chunks of chicken in one of the cups.
