Also adding 255.0/8 and 255/4 which is essentially just... IPV6. So we're finally going ipv6, I guess!

USPS? You mean the bankrupt federal agency that we all heard was going extinct? They can afford this? Hmm... (And they certainty can't afford it, which is why druggies exclusively ship their goods with USPS over FedEx / UPS or any other private carrier). God bless them!

Google will sell you domains that it doesn't own. I've purchased .MX and .CO.UK domains from them just recently. I've purchased Thoth.zone, Thoth.mx and Thoth.pw from them. From networkingsolutions.com I've bought thoth.domains. It's a crazy turf war situation right now, given the broad international legal overlaps and so on and so forth.

No. You have two Mac Pros inside your MacPro. Guys, it has a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere! (Obviously not in shape, but roughly analogous). Yes, it's even got a "collosum" as a little piece of tape, which broke the ability to do battery charging completely when it fell off. (Yes, you need those damnable star-shaped screwdrivers to open the case, just go buy a kit). The tape is pretty obvious to find, and located fairly centrally. You'll notice it.

You know, you can "upgrade" your Mac Pro's firmware quite easily by first removing that tape, then taking the USB-c cable and wrapping it around your laptop, connected to both sides (either of the two ports on each side works).

Then just play with it a bit and see what changes. ;)

I leave this here as part of my experiment. If it makes sense to you at all, I'd love to hear your replies. Even if not!

Both new Macs (Intel chip and M1) suffer the same problems because it doesn't have anything to do with the chips: Both use their SSD's as batteries interchangeably. (Physically, this has always been possible. What hasn't been easy, ever, is not corrupting the data when you send power to be stored with it). My Macbook Pro has five "batteries / hard disks", but it's not clear either inside nor from the OS's point of view which is being used as what at any given moment. It has to do some complicated finagling between power and data busses and probably uses those interchangeably too. My Macbook stopped being rechargeable within a few months.

He's back. What timing too! MacOS is almost done being converted to Linux. GitHub is very close to being git and included within itself as well. It's like the mission itself is nearly done. Except for hardware.

Or way more than one optical illusion. Note the vertical lines and see if they match up, particularly near the bottom. Why does it need to do this?

And yes, LeConte Hall is open to those of good character. You'll know if it has welcomed you in. ;)

By the way, these hieroglyphs say exactly what happened here. They are still above my league. If you are anyone who has gone to this school or know something similar has happened at yours, you don't need to interpret them. They say exactly what happened.

I do not recommend going here even just to explore, because it is a very dark place. But if you like ghost stories, then ghosts don't harm you anyway.

But I'm serious about this. This is a tragedy of epic proportions. You'll see on one picture of steps up to an entrance of the building with a purple sleeping bag on the right. That's a student or an employee. They were not even permitted to sleep inside this empty, gigantic temple where they worked. That cannot be tolerated.

To the west of this building is a smaller one attached to it with a bridge-hallway (in one picture it is shown). The security is very right on this building. One man told me he was a scientist but not a student nor affiliated with the school, and they study deadly viruses. Just because he told me that makes him a friend of mine, even if he wouldn't let me in.

I'll note that literally next door to the main entrance is the loading docks which have no security whatsoever.

Yes but for the love of gods can you stop trying to become bees? AGAIN?!? Honey bees are not conscious. They use their hive for computation, it acts as half of one brain, for each bee has its own half.
