Once upon a time from the West

 


The Arctic is in recharge, and we are getting a weak Pacific plume coming over us.  All I want now is for the warmies to be happy.  "This is climate change in action" for all of us.  Anyway, no big freezes for the next week, I can uncover the peas.



Yes, Virginia, the winter is over, if you just stay above this line.  Do not read on.


This is total Artie, a fantasy.  It does not show the most perfect Arctic Ice Machine Vortex yet.  It will just pop like a bubble.

**Rationality Insert**  OMG!

Linux - when KDE screws up

 KDE can go along for some time, and then it doesn't.  I use the Wayland version, which is worse.  I used to reinstall everything, but now I don't.  The difficulty is that it is impossible to just clear the configuration, since it is spread all over the place.

So simply make a new user with Wayland, and eventually add all the things you lost.  Sucks a bit, but better than reinstalling the whole system.


The End of Jets

 



Trump is ending Nato.  Who cares?  Does Canada need a new fighter jet?  Nope.  Submarines?  Tanks?

ps I think the jets are like trying to swat a fly, with my reflexes.
