Modern browsers are ridiculous:
How can a browser with no extensions use 21GB of RAM? That’s just absolutely bonkers. The first browser I used was on a computer with 8MB (yes, megabytes) of RAM.

Uniformity
I’m more impressed that she could do that in the uniform than she can do it at all. I am strong, but will never have that sort of easy grace, so I like watching people who do.

Even with hope on the horizon in this pandemic, what’s the point of ever leaving home again?
The lockdown lifers are coming out to not play, as I knew they would. Fuck that noise. I’m pretty anti-social, but even I miss dining out and concerts and such. And I really want to travel. Some Americans do have a fucking passport, and use it.

It’s A Good Day
You know it's a good covid day when…..
1. Vaccinees can hug each other, unmasked, blessed by CDC
2. The descent in cases continues despite looming threat of B.1.1.7 strain
3. More data keeps coming out on vaccines overriding immune evasion property of the variants— Eric Topol (@EricTopol) March 9, 2021
Nice. Doom-mongers are wrong.

I can’t read that post, but he’s right. Been telling ya’ll that since two months ago. I was right.

People react badly to self-promotion, but respond positively when someone else praises you. This study shows the effect works even if the person praising you is know to be an agent hired to do so… even if you are visibly seen briefing the agent first! https://t.co/yCXQ6ITb3W pic.twitter.com/vvqTpHHQan
