Found this community, saw no posts. Why not start off by letting us know what FORTH you use in the modern day?

I know there's GNU FORTH, and variants like 8th, which I downloaded ages ago but haven't really used. I like the idea of FORTH but haven't had the itch to write anything in it (I need to get over my current fascination with APL first, I guess, so I can try out FORTH again someday 😀 )

Could this be the start of a big foreign ownership dump?

Marked NSFW just in case :)

Our girl cat brought a rat she'd either killed or found already dead to our patio (she hasn't done this for a few years).

As the wife and I discussed how best to dispose of it, we saw to our horror 3 large, purplish-black (2cm x 1.5cm?) fat larval things emerge from the rat's abdomen. A quick web search ('Vancouver Island rat botfly') shows matching images. Eyyyyyych.

I bagged the carcass and captured the larvae in a jar for the moment... there's a burn ban at the moment, so I can't do that, but I don't just want to throw them in the trash either so

• Is burying them sufficient?
• Are our two cats in any danger of infection? (I phoned our vet, no answer from them yet)
• Should we notify the town pest control dept.?

There are lots of cats in the area besides our own, so we thought rats weren't a big problem on our street. Now I'm not so sure.

EDIT: We didn't want to wait any longer to deal with it, so I dug the deepest hole I could under some back bushes and squashed every larva I could find, in and out of the carcass, then buried everything. I hope that's the end of that. Yuuuuuuuck.

Why would you need these?

• to directly re-flash an instrument replacement part
• to emulate the Virus B/C via https://dsp56300.wordpress.com

This is a great tool to overwrite your posts with random words and a link to get others to consider doing so as well.

Once my comments are all gone, I'm gonna delete the posts too.

EDIT: ...and I'm perma-banned :) They didn't like me mentioning lemmy.whynotdrs.org in my farewell blurbs.

One cannot even mention 'SS' much less 'why not drs'. I am so F'ing glad we're moving off of that shithole platform.

NEW YORK - Federal regulators said Tuesday they found that Bank of America harmed customers by double-dipping on fees, withholding credit card rewards and opening fake accounts, all of which are violations of various consumer financial protection laws.

As a result, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered Bank of America (BAC) to pay more than $100 million to customers and $90 million in penalties. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also ordered Bank of America (BAC) to pay $60 million in fines.

The bank is the second largest in the United States, serving 68 million individuals and small businesses.

Some of the charges are reminiscent of the Wells Fargo scandal last decade that involved opening millions of bank accounts without customer authorization.

"Bank of America wrongfully withheld credit card rewards, double-dipped on fees, and opened accounts without consent," CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement. "These practices are illegal and undermine customer trust. The CFPB will be putting an end to these practices across the banking system."

Now as a Tourist Attraction rather than an Historical Landmark. Let's see if they take it down again.
