The climate has changed for them. It’s tragic that it didn’t happen sooner. We’ve missed out on trillions in economic growth as a result of this stupidity.

Light Posting
I’m at O’Hare, changing planes to go to DC for the Satellite Show. Not sure how much time I’ll have for blogging.
Linux Update Problem
When I ‘dnf -y update’ it downloads all the packages, but at the end crashes with this error message:

Any idea how to tell it to ignore this and just do the other updates? I don’t see any obvious options on “dnf update.”
Thanks for the advice in comments. Unfortunately, I can’t deal with it until I get back from a trip on Friday.
[Friday update]
The problem seems to have resolved itself while I was gone. I updated last night with no issues.
The Myth Of DST
I have a crazy idea that the sun should be overhead at noon. Tomorrow’s time change is a double whammy for me because I have to catch a flight to DC in the morning.
Jay Bhattacharya
How he went from being smeared during the pandemic to heading the agency that smeared him.
I met him at a Hillsdale event when he was under attack, in the fall of 2020, and later at a Reason Weekend at which he was presented with an award.
The Next Pope
The current one is certainly the worst in my lifetime. Though I’m not Catholic, or even Christian, or a believer, do better, cardinals.
