Holy shit. Floor and Nightwish are parting ways. I've suspected for the past few albums that I might not be a Nightwish fan any more, and I think this solidifies it. www.instagram.com/p/DegevenNnG5/

Nightwish and Floor Jansen part ways

After careful consideration, we have, in mutual agreement, decided to part ways. This decision is necessary and important to us and our future ambitions. Thus, we will now pursue those goals in our own separate ways. We wish each other nothing but the very best on our respective artistic journeys.

For you, dear listener, and indeed for us, this marks the end of a truly great voyage.

Nightwish will continue. We will move forward and enter the studio in 2027 to record a new album.

As we celebrate 30 years of Nightwish, we couldn't be more excited about our music and our future.

-Nightwish

Oh look, Google AI Overview taking credit for not helping me with my search.

A little scoop before Oct 7, when ICANN publishes 1,000+ applications for new top-level domains: one of them is .bsky! It's a long road (18 to 24 months), but if it goes through, handles like alice.bsky become possible.

Sheesh, why doesn't Jira warn you that there are multiple types of spaces and that you can't change the type? You create spaces from templates, and the templates don't indicate whether they are "software" or "business" spaces. You get locked out of features if you choose the wrong one!

I regularly receive class action settlements. So much so that I have to track them every year to report on my taxes. It's super messed up; society shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be so easy for companies to harm millions of people.

Gargling Oil For Horses From The Lockport Democrat and Balance for Wednesday, November 10, 1841.

A newspaper ad with an engraving of a man holding a bottle near a horse's hoof, surrounding by large text stating "GARGLING OIL FOR HORSES."

The text of the ad below the engraving says:

It is only necessary to become acquainted with this valuable Horse Remedy, to be convinced that it is not only the best, but the cheapest medicine that farmers, or any other owner of Horses and Cattle, can make use of. A pamphlet accompanies each bottle, with a synopsis of the diseases in which it has been remarkably successful.

It is sold in Lockport only by the sole proprietor, Geo. W. Merchant, corner of Main and Cottage sts., and by De ano & Wilson, Lower Town.

We could fill a page with certificates; but will al this time only insert the following short one from Mr. Lottridge, of New Fane:

I hereby certify that I have used the Gargling Oil prepared by Mr. Merchant, and have found it to be the best medicine for Horses, cattle and other animals, that I ever made use of, and I stand ready to recommend it to any one who keeps horses, and to Farmers in particular, who should keep it constantly on hand.

J. J. LOTTRIDGE.

One of the main problems I have right now when I use LLMs is the output verbosity. No joke. I want my agent to assist with Jira cards and GitHub PRs but it creates unreadable essays.

I *want* to like GitHub's stacked PRs, but they aren't easy to use. It takes a lot of time to figure out how to untangle them when something goes wrong, and things seem to go wrong often.
