Seeing someone on Reddit saying that they never used the maths (specifically, “pi”) they learned at school, and that it was pointless learning it.
I have used trigonometry and calculus in my everyday life to make short work of problems, mostly relating to DIY. If you reach middle age without m any this stuff, then I can almost guarantee that you have done several things the hard way when you didn’t need to.

I’ve used very little of the math they tried to teach me and forgotten an awful lot of it:(
But my opinion wasn’t that it was a pointless thing to be taught, but that school did one hell of a bad job at doing it:( At one point I was good at maths (at least compared to my peers) and slowly they sucked every bit of fun and wonder out of it:(

!Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. So I got a warning that nginx proxy manager hadn't been renewing my certificates for a while tonight.
Tried to renew them manually.
It broke, everywhere, badly. Ended up reinstalling from scratch, even on a different machine, but it Would Not Work. Kept throwing internal NPM errors.
Is it currently broken? I've resorted to a manual nginx config for now. but it's not ideal. Anyone else seeing flakiness from nginx proxy manager?

Try turning off "force SSL" "HTTP/2" and "HSTS" then try to renew. If that works it's a known bug and there's a fix in this thread:

Tories: We are going to take the light fittings and run to a tax haven. We will blame this on the trans.
Labour: We’re going to let other people take the light fittings and run to tax havens. It’s still the trans’ fault.
Lib Dems: 48 hour moritorium on stealing light fittings.
SNP: We want independence from HMRC, in case the light fittings are taxable.
Greens: Screw this, we’re going down the pub.

Crossing the bridge between the Algarve and Spain, I play Back to the Future because it's a timezone border and growing up in an island nation, that still weirds me out a bit.
The A3 near Petersfield has a roundabout with a brown tourism roadsigns to "Bird World". That one gets the Jurassic Park theme.

With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.
The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

Is there any urban wildlife as dangerous and aggressive as the British Herring Gull?
It will absolutely fuck you up for a chip.
Apparently Sydney, in Australia, is having problems with aggressive gulls and they’ve employed dog walkers to scare them off. I saw a picture.
In England, the gulls would take the dog. Easily. It was not a big dog.
The Herring Gull would totally win in a fight.
Don’t mess with them. They remember you, and after making you bleed, will make a point of shitting on you every time it sees you afterwards.
If it wants the chip, give it the bag. Honestly, not giving it the chip is risking you getting into some serious “I just killed John Wick’s dog” type shit.

@Inken Paper Thing is (and we have Canada geese in the UK too), they’re basically bluffing. You can run screaming at geese and they will usually flee. Geese are colossal bullshitters who only follow through if they think you are intimidated by them (see also swans).
A seagull, however, will bear a grudge on you and your descendants for generations if you cross it.

@Inken Paper It knows how to make your life a misery and it will fight a war of attrition against you literally for years. Every time you leave the house, it will shit on you. It will dive bomb you with its mates. It will learn your habits and lie waiting in ambush. They are basically mafia.
Geese have nothing in comparison.

@Wufflekins there aren't tournaments that are only open to men, afaik. Generally, tournaments are either open to everyone, or have specific qualifications (like rating, title, or winning a qualifying event).
There are, however, tournaments that are only open to women. Ostensibly, these exist to encourage participation, although many have suggested that it is actually to shield women from rampant misogyny in the chess scene that institutions are unwilling to handle properly.
That's a weird one for me. I absolutely understand the need for a safe space for women, and, as a man, I have no experience of the issues women face but, to me, it feels like that should be a refereeing issue. If men and women (and whoever identifies as whichever) can't participate on an even footing, regardless of gender, that's a fundamental problem with the way the sport is being supervised, isn't it?

Got some gum soreness. Usually I’d dab hydrogen peroxide on it, but it’s strangely difficult to get here (in Portugal every supermarket sells it).
So instead I got chlorhexidine. Went and did a bit of Googling for scientific papers, which resulted in finding out that, and I quote, “chlorhexidine is more effective than povidone iodine and hydrogen peroxide for treating diseased or inflamed gums, but less effective than sodium hypochlorite”
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?
Talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
I have no plans to use sodium hypochlorite as a mouthwash.
