"rainfall like this may now be expected every 70 years."
Ahh, if there's a recurrence interval of 70 years, that's better stated as a 1/70 chance of event per year, rather than the more-comforting "every 70 years". Following graphs the likelihood of event for 5 different reccurence periods. For a 70-year period, there's a 35% chance of 1 or more events within 30 years.

if you want permanence, use PCB but doodle with the pen every day. If you don’t use the pen for a week, wash the ink out of the pen and put it away.

If you’d rather leave the pen inked and not worry, then I recommend using a pen with good cap seal e.g.: Platinum Prefounte or Starlet, Pilot Lightive, Platinum Procyon, Sailor Profit Casual (or Light).

Use your non-permanent inks in your e-motion, as even when dried up, a quick dip in water will usually get it writing again.

Hey #askfedi! Does anyone have experience with #acupuncture, especially for stomach and digestive issues?

I'm in the process of trying to get scheduled with a GI (yay American #healthcare 😬) but wondering if it's an option to pursue in the meantime.

Thanks for any #advice!

#Fediverse outdoor people, I have a challenge. Find me a double-walled mug with a lid that comes in under 90g (3.17oz).

I currently have the classic MSR double walled mug and that is 100g. So I need to beat that weight by 10g, but still have the insulation properties.

For what it’s worth, I use my titanium bowl wrapped in my sleeping socks as an insulated mug. No lid though.

The *Absolute Worst* bit about expanding our storage is the lack of funds we have to do it properly, and the block upgrades of 5 drives at a time.

I have no idea how @emilyyoung and her team at LTT did it, but it fills me with dread @show every time I do it. And even though I'm the boss lady. Ye gods I stop breathing when I put drives into a live server.

*gah*.

Please don't lecture me, Internet. I can't afford a better solution :( #Computers #foss #Data #Contentcreation

Thanks!

It appears the things I'd like are in 6.8 though. Maybe I'll try patching it up.



Stop tempting me, #Ubuntu! I still have MONTHS, I tell you. MONTHS!
