That’s roughly 56% of Americans impacted.

But don’t worry:

Happy factory reset and patch day to Juniper admins everywhere.

A reboot might clear this, but it got implanted somehow…

Great, now she's lecturing me on Russell's Paradox and naive set theory.

She's suggesting I apply Zermelo-Fraenkel.

See, this is what I get for plugging her into Wikipedia. She's not a monster, she's a smart-ass armchair philosopher.

Did you ever use Google to log into a website from a domain that no longer exists (think HR systems, LinkedIn, or just about anything with a “sign in with Google button”).

Remove it from your accounts immediately, if you can.

If you have a domain that’s about to expire that ever used Google for sign-in, clean those accounts up now.

Same goes for any third party SSO. If you no longer control the domain, expect to be impersonated.

Apparently we made the front page of the NYT print edition yesterday.

"Drug Company To Compensate Genetic Donors", while true and important, is the least of what we're doing. But that's the kind of headline that grabs eyeballs, I guess. Thankfully the actual article was actually pretty great.

I haven't had the best luck with bikes lately, mind you.

2012 Royal Enfield: died in 2017, piston exploded

2017 Triumph T120: shifter broke twice within a year (warranty covered the first one, then I traded it in)

2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200: got to ~6k miles with zero issues, then STOLEN.

2014 Tiger 800: zero issues, but STOLEN two weeks later!

2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 again: broken shifter at 4200 miles, and again at 9500 miles.

Thinking of going electric. They don't have shifters.

Whelp, it happened again.

On the way home last night, my moto will only shift up, not down. This is almost certainly the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THC-C_KAe6E

Looking back at my maintenance history, I get about 5000 miles or 1.5 years on a bike before this happens. It has happened FOUR times now, on two different bikes. I used to think I was cursed, but now I'm reasonably sure it's a design flaw.
