Watched: The Odyssey. Didn’t end up seeing it in IMAX, but hope to eventually. 🍿

I'll be doing some streaming over on my gaming channel if you're interested in hanging out. https://youtube.com/live/ORZW2moV6cI?feature=share

🌊 In September 2023, seismometers around the world detected a mysterious signal repeating every 92 seconds for nine straight days. The source: a standing wave trapped inside a Greenland fjord.

Here is what happened. A glacier in East Greenland had been thinning for years, no longer supporting the mountain slope above it. On September 16, about 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice collapsed into Dickson Fjord, triggering a tsunami with a runup height of 200 meters near the impact.

The fjord is 540 meters deep, 2.7 km wide, with walls taller than 1,800 meters. That geometry trapped the wave energy. The tsunami stabilized into a seiche, a standing wave sloshing back and forth across the fjord every 90 seconds. Each oscillation shifted millions of tons of water, loading and unloading the crust below, generating seismic waves detected globally.

The signal decayed extraordinarily slowly. It was still detectable after 9 days. A second, smaller event happened October 11 from another landslide in the same gully.

In 2025, the SWOT satellite directly observed the seiche, confirming the theory. The study published in Science calls it the first evidence of fluid sloshing persisting for days without an external driver.

The landslide was preconditioned by climate-driven glacial thinning, the first such event recorded in East Greenland.

It does feel a bit sad. Obligatory #KRAZAM video for those who implemented the various "AI" LLMs in service of Key Stakeholders™ and then lost their jobs, this societal satyre from 2021 accidentally aged like fine wine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvhC_RdIwQ

Urban Dictionary: Fuckletoad

A grumpy little human who hops from one complaint to the next, finding fault in absolutely everything. Nothing is ever quite right, and they’ll happily croak about it until everyone within earshot regrets making eye contact.

I did not realise I had strong feelings on docstrings. I use them sparingly, and while they are a hack, at least they serve a good purpose.

I know people have opinions on the placement of line breaks and quotes, but I thought I was above these things. That this was Python programmers yearning for curly-brace level style wars.

I was mistaken.

I just encountered docstrings written in regular quotes rather than triple quotes and, no, apparently I DO have strong feelings on docstrings.

I need this for setting up Windows VMs in order to test Landstrip.

> Prosecutors later charged Tunick under a federal statute that makes it unlawful to knowingly destroy or damage property to prevent authorities from seizing it.

They *did* successfully seize the phone (the physical device) though 🤔

Notoriously (in privacy-related cases) you don't have property rights over your data, it's not a commodity. If the government can claim this is property, can I now sue data brokers for stealing/possessing my property?

I am not a lawyer, obviously.
