Conquering a Colorado 14er in Late April: Spikes? Nah, You've Got This.

So, you're eyeing an “easier" 14er in Colorado in late April and wondering about those spikes.

Let's be real, it's practically spring! While some folks might get overly cautious, the truth is, if

you're prepared for a good, solid hike, you likely don't need to burden yourself with extra gear like

microspikes.

Here's why you might confidently leave them behind:

With very ltle prompting, 1 s able o get Gernini to assure me that I didt need to bring microspikes on an early spring summit attempt of a Colorado L. Please don'tclimb a 1der in Aprl without traction, guys!

Worried about the rise of the robots

Dear Jane, I’m worried that the AI revolution will bring on the robot uprising. Are you as worried as me?

Yours, Worried of Accrington

Dear Worried of Accrington,

Oh my dearest crumpet crumb, what a ticklish pickle you’ve found yourself in! Fret not, for I, Jane Sillybottom — renowned hat consultant, part-time teapot whisperer, and full-time purveyor of profoundly peculiar wisdom — am here to soothe your sproingy little nerves.

Now, let’s talk about these robots. Yes, yes, I’ve heard whispers too — “AI this,” “uprising that,” “please stop putting googly eyes on the toaster, Jane,” etc. But really, darling, the key to avoiding any sort of mechanical mutiny is to wear a better hat.

Let me explain. No self-respecting robot would dare revolt against someone sporting a twelve-tiered peacock-feathered bonnet with integrated biscuit storage. They’d be far too confused. Is it fashion? Is it a snack tray? Is it sentient? We may never know, and neither will they. Confusion, you see, is a powerful defence mechanism.

Also, and I cannot stress this enough: have a proper cup of tea. Not that weak splashy business — I mean the kind that brews so strong it could power a small lighthouse. Once you’ve got a good cuppa and a structurally unsound hat on your head (ideally one that needs scaffolding), the world — and any rogue toasters — will seem far less frightening.

And remember: robots may have artificial intelligence, but they’ll never understand the thrill of mismatched socks or the healing power of custard-based shampoo.

So chin up, socks on, hat bigger, kettle on.

Yours steeped in tranquillity,
🫖 Jane Sillybottom

Oy, thanks for nothing, AI!

3. Another smart workaround:

Use "Local Off" Mode on the Juno (if it had it – but Juno-106 doesn't natively have  that), or configure your MIDI interface to ignore Echo.

@Tutanota

Yeah, NO.

Proton is a trumped company, with their CEO loudly celebrating rhe fascist taking power.

Proton is a Trump Ally.

If this were about the environment this would be called greenwashing. In greenwashing they paint carbon fuel as green because they bought some trees.

I don't know what to call this? Betrayal? Nazi washing? A lie?

Makes me COMPLETELY doubt the recommended apps, and Tuta.

Anyone have deeoer, clearer, info on this error?

HAHAHAHA all the motivational posters I have seen "FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD"

"In a letter documenting the event, his nephew, Pliny the Younger, wrote that his uncle quoted a Latin proverb as he set off: “Fortune favors the bold.” Unfortunately, Pliny didn’t survive the journey, likely inhaling toxic volcanic gas. "

Because of that view, researchers wonder whether Pliny could have seen the eruption of Mount Vesuvius from the villa. The philosopher is known to have sailed across the Gulf of Naples on a rescue mission to help those fleeing the devastation. In a letter documenting the event, his nephew, Pliny the Younger, wrote that his uncle quoted a Latin proverb as he set off: “Fortune favors the bold.” Unfortunately, Pliny didn’t survive the journey, likely inhaling toxic volcanic gas. He was one of up to 16,000 people who perished in the disaster.

Frankly, whether the Devil or not, approaching to random strangers and advising them to forego wearing PPE with zero knowledge of their personal context (even without an ongoing or emerging pandemic(s) to deal with), IS EVIL.

Moreso when they claim religious authority while doing so. 😡

And I genuinely hope he spent more than a few minutes reconsidering his words. 😡 😡😡

Stuff not working in your Godot project? Just sprinkle in some “.duplicate()”. And make a buncha stuff local to scene. Surely nothing will go wrong.

When the password requires you to include a special character, just add "Feat. Funky Kong" to the end of the password.

Few characters are more special than Funky Kong.

In what world is a 13 year old boy responsible for his adult mother's decision to abscond with his 10 year old sister? Is the columnist high? #BadAdvice #ParentalKidnapping #FamilyDysfunction It's possible this dad is a victim. It's also possible the wife and daughter were victimized by the father, hence fleeing and his own extended family keeping their whereabouts a secret. Whatever the case, this is a shitty response.

So listening on a Vendors advice on “How to secure xyz”

Is like listening to Good Year explaining car safety.

No matter what tires you have on your car will not make it safe if you are without breaking.

The problem with Vendors are that they don’t see the full picture, and they only give you their point of view that suits their portfolio.

Listen to independent integrators who can tell you the truth.

Stay safe

@skinnylatte

I thought the same thing, but then I found this nice gentleman (technically a deposed Moldovan prince) who agreed to handle all my finances for free!

All he needed was some basic info (Social, Account Numbers, etc) and he was good to go.

It sounded too good to be true, but he explained that he's also using my account to transfer his fortune outside the country.

Seems fair, right?

...

Oh fuck. I need to make some calls.
