It’s still unclear if they had a backup anchor to the piton, which is a common practice for rock climbers, said Joshua Cole, a guide and co-owner of North Cascades Mountain Guides who has been climbing in the area for about 20 years.

Very curious if this is a case of missing safety practices, or of common safety practices not always being enough.

I'm just wishing my utility offered Time of Use rates so I could meaningfully optimize my EV charging and water heating use timing.

From the NY Times:

Mr. Alexander is an American Israeli dual citizen who grew up in Tenafly, N.J.

In 2022, during his senior year of high school, he joined Garin Tzabar, which prepares young people from around the world to join the Israel Defense Forces. He moved to Israel to serve in the military after he graduated and was assigned to the infantry.

Mr. Alexander was stationed near the border with Gaza in September 2023

From another article, he said something like "why should I pay for the Israeli government's mistake". Sounds like this falls into the 'just following orders doesn't protect you' category; not feeling a lot of sympathy.

Oh cool. I've been trying to generalize the n-strand braiding algorithm, so appreciate the geeking out.

I didn't see it until I tried to put the bit in and it wouldn't go.

The big theme of our storage has been bins — little boxes for random treasures, bins for stuffies, next-size-up clothes, blocks, dolls, dress up, whatever. Not too much effort to clean up, easy to repurpose to match current interests. Though we had a long phase where the preferred way to find something was just to dump the bins out.

The fort idea seems fun. Maybe sections that be placed open for storage, but can swing around to make it into a little play house, with a couple window or mini door cutouts?

Grassroots Leadership the organization who has been working to locate & represent the family. (No connection or other knowledge of them, just looking to highlight folks doing necessary work.)

I think in theory yeast destroys gluten and salt slows down yeast, but I also haven't noticed a big difference.

Understanding Baking: The Art and Science of Baking by Amendola and Rees was a huge help understanding bread for me.

If it works, great!

I default to a stand mixer when I need to knead.

You can also autolyse for 15-30m with just the flour and water and then mix in yeast and salt after.

I'm not coming up with a lot, but Bali Wildlife says:

The eyes are located at the base of the antennae on flat papillae.

Which I guess we can see clearly on the photo.

This is the way. Being able to hire people is one of the top things that affect company policy.

Apart from its digital gauge cluster that also serves as the rearview camera display, power locks, cruise control, and a forward-collision-warning system with automated emergency braking, the Truck offers little in the way of luxuries.

Sounds nice. I do like highway lane following, but not essential.

Thanks!

So true. I recently learned there's a Python package for natural sorting, similar in other languages.

Thanks for sharing. All these experiences are very illuminating regarding the lesser impact of socialization, too. Like, I might have thought my female colleagues had just been told to cede the floor so many times they didn't often speak at meetings. And that could still be adding to it, but here are the same individuals with the same habits getting starkly different treatment.

Even knowing these trends from countless other stories and statistics, hearing each additional experience helps keep it in mind and see more often when it's happening.

I hope the repercussions land on Trump and his cronies, and but just on this particular show of global bullying around tariffs.

Short article.

Putin told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, the report said citing three people familiar with the talks.

So wait, Putin is willing to make a deal with Trump in which he cedes invaded land that he doesn't actually control?

I can't tell from the article if there's a real problem. None of the levels exceed FDA thresholds, and it sounds bad, but there's also no definite claim of harm.

Hah, yeah I got a Debian floppy and then tried to install packages over DSL. Somehow it didn't immediately kill my interest in Linux, eventually ran OpenBSD as my server for a while.
