Who Knew What When

I favor a technique I was taught by a nursing student almost 30 years ago. You basically use the usual technique but each time the lace crosses another do it one extra time.

So first you wrap one lace around the other and pull it tight, well before you pull it tight wrap it around one more time. This helps hold the laces tight for the next step where you fold the laces and wrap them around each other. Do that a second time as well before you pull it fully tight.

Without video or illustration I suspect this is not easy to follow. Oh well.

Yes, I still use it and can confirm that I have had no concerns or problems with it. On the other hand, if I had to reinstall, without research, I'm not sure how I would reinstall it. Having alternatives is a good thing.

My understanding is that there is a lot of very fine lunar dust and in the lower gravity even a small amount of static electricity on you means that you are quickly covered in the dust.

Perhaps this should be an option but I far prefer that tapping on a notification not do something that potentially notifies the sender that I saw the notification, certainly not calling them. I want to initiate that action knowingly and intentionally.

It's an auto-formatting thing that HN does to submitted titles. If you catch it soon enough you can edit the title and it will be allowed as you specify, at least that was true the last time I tried.

I initially posted a link directly to JWZ's blog with the expectation that an objectionable replacement would appear when clicking the link. I clicked the link myself and had it open in a private window and I was taken directly to the expected blog entry with no stop for troubling visuals.

However, not entirely unexpectedly, it appears that JWZ is in a list and discussion was disabled, so not expecting it to be a working submission I just deleted it and submitted this Mastodon entry instead.
