“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”
This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.
@zackwhittaker yes! (If too many, give a link)

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and then buy the pond. Tell him he can't have the fish, but he can fish for you and you will sell the fish and give him a very small cut, and then he'll say stuff like "I am hungry and my teeth hurt". Nobody wants to fish these days.
@lefebvre solution is probably isopropanol - I use cotton wool / cotton tips with isopropanol for cleaning the very old drives and disks quite often.

One from a few weeks ago that I have only just come across. It was taken shortly after sunrise in Glastonbury. That sky!

"incumbent writer of a newspaper funny pages comic" is one of the most lucrative and hard-to-fumble bags in the world and yet The Dilbert Guy has found the one way you can actually fumble it. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/02/we-are-dropping-the-dilbert-comic-strip-because-of-creator-scott-adams-racist-rant-letter-from-the-editor.html

Firefall
Firefall is a relative newly discovered phenomenon discovered in Yosemite National Park not to be confused with the old firefall that was manmade.
This is a tough shot to get and some years it doesn't happen.
This is Horsetail Falls. In February, for roughly 10 days, the sun comes into alignment and reflects off of the rocks to create this phenom.
