I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the cup holder in your vehicle is the perfect size for a 4” potted plant.

The Sanskrit word ‘maitri’/ Pali word ‘metta’ is translated as loving-kindness or love in Buddhist philosophy. In Bangla it’s also a synonym for ‘mother’ #Languages #TheMoreYouKnow

Nerdsniping of the day (I was the victim): Are there years when the US vs ISO abiding countries do not agree on the week number?

The answer as per playing a bit with python is: yes indeed, and 2027 will be the next occurrence. On this date 2 years from now, the US is living week 15 while most of us are still in week 14.

The Amazing Cybertruck : this is the thing that too many people I know are calling Musk a genius over.

Not mentioning the fact that all of these Tesla broken promises were never even designed by Musk to begin with - he did create the shape of the proprietary charger connector for Tesla cars though, ensuring Tesla consumers will be locked into using Tesla bullshit alone.
