It turns out that @emdeesee had been saying "Like a Dog's Breakfast" when he meant "Like a Dog's Dinner" #idioms

@emdeesee I'm not actively tooting from it, but the usual instructions for installing mastodon worked fine for me on debian 9 using a digitalocean $5/month droplet. It's been running for a few days now with no resource consumption problems. I did have to allocate a 2GB swap file though. I just followed the https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Production-guide.md instructions. It took a little more time than I expected, so set aside an afternoon.

A commenter on cstross's blog observes that it is now possible to talk about the energy consumed by bitcoin mining as being the same as the energy yield of "around one B61 nuclear bomb per day".

I just notice that after you defeat Alduin, that updrafty-thing at the site of the "time wound", which I interpret as being the visible manifestation of the wound, is still there.. #skyrim @emdeesee

I see that this position has certainly been argued before, but it had never occurred to me.

From now on I'm considering 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 as a poorly argued antinatalist position.
