SF story idea: an obscure message board or forum can be accessed from parallel universes. The denizens figure this out from the weird ads they're getting.

I could almost swear I'd read a story like that, but I can't remember any of the details.
Alfred Bester wrote a great story in the '50s or '60s about a man and woman in New York City who repeatedly get connected via wrong number phone calls. They finally decide to meet up, and each think the other has stood them up, until they compare their experience and discover they are living in very different NYCs.

@CliftonR @quidcumque Ooh I want to read that!

@quidcumque Sadly here it's just that Americans can't even get their own weirdo units right (definitely the Mastodon poster; less definitely the joke product...)

@CliftonR it does sound like it's not a new idea! Thank you!

Nicole is a delight. Totally chill, but respectful, about the several bears who share her creek. She's letting a salmon go because she doesn't need it today. Knows her plants. Making very few major mistakes, though I don't know about cooking and eating at her shelter when there are numerous bears in sniffing range. She's been lucky, so far. Maybe the bears keep the cougars away and the bears are still well-fed from the creek, but the rules change as winter approaches.

@Longwing people make silly mistakes when they're under a lot of pressure, stressed out, and/or exhausted. there's probably not much you can do since it is likely a systemic problem in your organization, but perhaps you could introduce familiar calming rituals, such as increasing the frequency of password resets and number of "two" factor challenges

@aeva As a Sysadmin this hits WAY too close to home. You would not believe what people fall for.
"Yes, I know it says the CEO's name in the subject line. That's not the 'from' line. The from line says 'Critical Task <CriticalTask235245@gmail.com>'
No, that doesn't mean the task is critical because...
Look. Can you read, or have you been faking this whole time?"

This is such a great show to armchair yell at the TV. All these boat building when they barely spend an hour fishing from the shore. I’m constantly yelling at them to fish all day … it’s like, bro, you just sit there with a line in the water! Also, it keeps you from doing something stupid. Just fish, chop wood, eat, and sleep.

@bryan I see these guys building toys, and I'm like, "Winter is coming!"
Jose is like a week into making a boat, while doing seemingly nothing else to prepare.
Justin is climbing a mountain for literally no reason, while weak from hunger, through very rough, steep, terrain covered in brush and deadfall. I'm convinced he's trying to break his leg so he has an excuse to get out of there without feeling weak.

@bart@floss.social Great, I'm going there when I have a time!
