It's kinda bizzare that you might use a tool for years, with some remarkable distraction on each occasion, instead of configuring it properly.
Today I switched from the sequence of "ssh <host>; tmux attach" to a configuration that does it form me:
```
Host ...
...
RequestTTY yes
RemoteCommand tmux new-session -A ...
```
TIL: Replace x.com with xcancel.com to read the whole tweet.
#TIL that the Colorado city I will be moving to is having their own independent Pride event, for the first time, and it’s happening today. It’s being held in the park directly across the street from the place I stayed when I was there in April looking at housing.
It’s only from 12-4 but there is indoor and outdoor programming and it looks like a good mix of stuff for all-ages. No major corporate sponsors, all local.
#TIL "There are ZERO Wisdom teeth on a [US] submarine. Regardless of any pain or discomfort -out they come to prevent it from impacting a mission later."

#TIL Thames garnets
"No one knows exactly where the garnets are from or how they ended up at the bottom of the River Thames."
"Hazel Forsyth, a senior curator at the Museum of London, believes that, “the garnets’ presence on the foreshore is probably due to accidental loss of a shipboard consignment.” She believes that some of the Thames garnets could have been intended for jewelry making before they were lost in the river."

#TIL that 8.6 gigawatts of electricity are required to serve all of the new proposed data centers requesting service from PG&E.
TIL that this rainbow artifact I photographed over Georgetown, Seattle last night is called a circumzenithal arc.

Just rolls off the tongue!
#TIL https://meine.onleihe.de sucks less than the official app.
@ascentale #BikeNitePQ Having owned the thing for years, I learned just this week that two tools on my multitool combine to make an 8mm hex. What was your most recent #TIL (or indeed, just #RTFM) cycling-related discovery?
@TheBreadmonkey @pathfinder The story itself is a myth https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fake-parking-attendant/
But #TIL that there is some truth to it:

Today I learned that when a school of Blue-headed #Wrasse fish (Thalassoma bifasciatum) lose what few males they have, the eldest female will spend the next three or so weeks #transitioning into a male, then take over all his functions. It’s almost as if she just decides to become a male, and soon he is one. So yeah, #transgender #fish are a thing.

#TIL about the California State Library Parks Pass program, in which one can go to a participating public librarty and check out a park pass to use for free admission to any of over 200 California State Parks.
#TIL: recent versions of 'dig' have a +yaml output flag. I haven't decided whether I like it but the output makes more visual sense than the default.
Trying a #DragonRuby version of some C++ code I found.
#TIL you can trigger an integer overflow in mruby if your bit operations are particularly clumsy.
#TIL it is a bad idea to attempt falling asleep to #DanteAlighieri Divine Comedy.
28 Cantos later, it's 03:00 and my mind is blown. What a masterpiece.
Hearing it recited, even in English, is so compelling.
Next I have to get my hands on a recording in #italian
#TIL we have found at least 130 Roman Dodecahedrons and we don't know what they were for. #Andor featured one in Sculdun's collection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron
