I'm only halfway through listening but this is a rad album! Thank you for sharing.

Welp, it's time for a Candyman remake that works this cemetery into the lore.

Pinch (or CMD + minus) zoom out slightly as a workaround.

Amazing resource - thank you for creating it!

We have "Red Gate in the Rain" by Kasamatsu Shiro [1] hanging in our home. I uploaded a photo of it and had a great time browsing other works by Shiro.

My wife also noted that we'll eventually inherit Shiro's "Snow Falling at Red Gate" [2], in the same series, from her aunt.

We've a couple other prints that I am going to search now... thanks again!

I also understood it the way that you did, and got excited. Womp womp. I'm optimistic that it will be reality in the not too distant future though.

Wen Waymo Campervans?!

I never thought I’d see Ely mentioned on HN.

http://moosebay.com is a close family friend who lives in and guides out of Ely. I had a great trip there many years ago.

I’ll have to ask them about your story, surely they remember it happening.

Watched them in January this year, cold and windy and they were still going hard. It was a lot of fun!

For us Cloud SQL instances are toast but App Engine Standard instances are still serving requests. Google Cloud console is borked too, mostly just erroring out.

Dammit. I listened to Adam on https://shoptalkshow.com/659/ just last week and really admired his impressive depth of knowledge about CSS and the web and how well spoken he is on the subjects.

I’m surprised to see no mention of the other Aquarius Reef Base in Key Largo, which I’ve had the pleasure of visiting (from the outside only, freediving) in person: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarius_Reef_Base

I don't see WithinYou's Steak Shake. It's my goto.

Good idea and nice execution btw. There's a lot of solid feedback in the comments that will make this even better.

Of the ones listed, I've only been to the two in Key West, FL, USA.

Neither of them (currently) outwardly resembles the, apparently common, cylindrical/cone look of most of the ones pictured in the wiki.

The West Tower garden is beautiful. The East Tower is a museum and my primary memory of it is that it houses this creepy doll that we learned about during a Ghost tour and had to go see for ourselves: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/robert-doll

Suggested title update: include species context, which is the American or Maine Lobster (officially "Homarus americanus").

That species is quite different from the myriad species of spiny lobster that are common throughout much of the world (notably that the American Lobster has claws).

Here's some further reading on this and other interesting lobster lore, by the MIT Sea Grant Program:

New comment by traeregan in "Japan's Comfort Food: The Onigiri"

traeregan — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 18:42:23 +0000

I've been on two trips to Japan - 2014 and 2023. We enjoyed eating a lot of onigiri on both trips. During the latter trip I noticed that the ¥ price hadn't changed much but the amount of filling (various proteins) had gone down considerably, which makes sense from a business perspective.

We've tried making them at home a couple of times but haven't perfected it yet. Reading this is motivating me to give it another shot soon.

X's @Safety account just confirmed some details of the compromise: https://twitter.com/Safety/status/1744924042681897343

I'm surprised that the SEC wasn't using 2FA.

Perhaps. There were an odd couple of "likes" made by the SEC X account during the same time period though (they've since been "unliked"), and Chair Genlser + a follow up post by @SECGov both specifically say that the account was compromised.
