No one is safe. Especially those who have a lead foot. Seriously, can you do this much damage if you're going a safe speed in a parking lot? I don't care if they're a sheriff or not! They can't claim they didn't see it with the STOP SIGN sticking up out of the bollard!

Flight GlobalBiocide overdose blunder suspected in A321 dual-engine incidentUK investigators probing a serious dual engine problem on a departing Airbus A321 have discovered its fuel system had previously been overdosed with biocide, after a maintenance engineer misunderstood a measurement term.

"Exoplanet System" by XKCD comic (Fediverse mirrors @xkcd @xkcdbot ) - Dealing with such faint observations at such enormous distances, there are so many ways to misinterpret your data. https://xkcd.com/3103/ #astronomy #exoplanet #oops #humor

Days since I installed Debian on a new computer and completed a complex manual partitioning scheme involving stacked md, dmcrypt, and lvm while forgetting to create an EFI system partition, and so having to do the whole thing over from scratch:
0.
Argh. The installer should warn you about this earlier in the process. I always forget because I only do this every 3 or 4 years.

"Neighbor-Source Heat Pump" by XKCD comic (Fediverse mirror bots @xkcd @xkcdbot ) - One of many examples of failure to be a good neighbor. If taken to its extreme without being discovered and shut down first, it falls apart like a Ponzi scheme long before everyone gets to tap everyone else. After a loop forms, they all ask "why isn't it working any more?" https://xkcd.com/3099/ #residential #physics #oops #WTF

Explanation from ExplainXKCD https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/3099:_Neighbor-Source_Heat_Pump
transcript:
[Two houses are shown next to each other. [...] next to the left house there is a small box with two light-blue pipes going from the house to the box. From the bottom of the box two similar light-blue pipes goes a bit down under ground, the left further than the right, and then they bend to the right and goes under the neighboring house to the right. The upper pipe closest to the ground is shown to enter the wall of the right house, going almost up to the roof, and then bending sharply around going down below ground. Then it goes under ground to the other side of the house and do the same in the right wall, going up and down. Where it goes under ground, it connects to the the other pipe that has gone all the way straight under the house.]
[Caption below:]
A covertly-installed Neighbor-Source Heat Pump takes advantage of the fact that your neighbor keeps their house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
mouseover text: The installation of the pipes on the inside of the insulation can be challenging, especially when the neighbor could come home at any minute.
explanation:
"Neighborhood heating" is a system where a centralized heat source provides heating for multiple buildings. This is humorously in contrast to to the comic where someone steals heat from one of their neighbours.[...]](https://cdn.masto.host/avgeeksocial/media_attachments/files/114/643/991/817/479/163/original/a830fb9930c71684.png "XKCD comic #3099 \"Neighbor-Source Heat Pump\" https://xkcd.com/3099/

I thought one of my monitors here was failing.
Screen getting dimmer... couldn't see stuff, contrast off.
Thought I had to buy a new monitor (this one is off a curb somewhere).
Then the cable finished falling out.
