The image depicts a muscular man balancing on a tightrope, with his back to the viewer. He is shirtless and wearing a loincloth. The background is split into two halves: the left side shows a blue sky with white clouds, while the right side shows a starry black space. The man's arms are outstretched, and he appears to be in a precarious position. The text "Extreme narcissism" is written in white capital letters on the left side, and "Extreme self hate" is written on the right side. The image is overlaid with the text "[@]meethimaut" at the bottom.

Buen día, miserables.

Las fuentes de luz son una vieja obsesión mía. Afortunadamente lo son también para Alec Watson aka "el gordito de Technology Connections", quien le dedicó media amorosa hora a un invento que en cada una de sus partes hubiera hecho enloquecer y perpetrar crímenes para obtenerlo a nuestros antepasados.

(Hablando de locura y criminalidad: "carrera hacia el abismo". O "al hoyo". No importa qué tan buena sea una idea, siempre algún delincuente la arruina, sea minimizando componentes electrónicos, buscando los más baratos que hacen funcionar el aparato UNA vez, diseñando mecánicamente para "fabricabilidad" y no "reparabilidad"... Recordemos no confundir, la "rotura programada" es simple y común, no pide ofrecer mejores productos ahora o en el futuro, sólo más de lo mismo.)

Los subtítulos traducidos automáticamente al español no son precisamente cuidados, pero sin habérmelos fumado enteros me atrevo a suponer que entenderán lo que decía el guión original. Y si no, me preguntan.

Volviendo a mi problema, agradezcan que nunca les curtí la paciencia con la lámpara de Nernst, por la que me preguntó @beckermatic en otra red hace algo de cuatro años, capaz porque en esos días salió este detallado video de otro enfermo a quien se extraña. Si viéramos en una longitud de onda más larga hubieran sido la lámpara incandescente, nada de filamentos siempre al borde de partirse suspendidos dentro de vidrios aún más frágiles.


Buen día, miserables.

Hoy finalmente retiré del servicio las dos últimas lámparas fluorescentes compactas que había en mi casa--mientras todavía les queda algo de vida útil, porque soy una vieja sensiblera y no las quiero guardar ya muertitas.

Fueron unas lindas décadas, y una tecnología disfrutable para nosotras las enfermitas. Después de los años de laburo que insumió adaptar tubos plegados al formato requerido y construir bases que incluyeran un balasto, en su versión original magnético, que las hacía pesar arriba de medio kilo sumado al grueso vidrio difusor, y desde fines de los ochentas en adelante electrónico (pero miren la bestia que fue al principio, con un capacitor electrolítico grueso como un dedo), se llegó a productos razonablemente eficientes y longevos si no se los maltrataba.

Pero esa parte la explica mejor el gordo de "Technology Connections": youtube.com/watch?v=_AdBcTMHG0…

Me limitaré a contemplar en mi mente cada uno de los desarrollos que culminaron en estos objetos de complejidad decididamente moderada para nuestra época, pero demencial para cualquier artesano o ingeniero de principios del siglo XIX. (Sí, cuando se estaba aún desculando la electricidad. Buena época.)

¡Brindo por la feliz jubilación de quienes me iluminaron por tanto tiempo!

Y no teman encariñarse con las herramientas que nos han servido. Es bueno ser agradecidos en la vida.

My foxy visitor seems to have slowed down a bit lately, taking time to sniff around and hole still long enough to see their face.

I've been seeing the fox for a few months now, and I wonder if there are other foxes and/or maybe babies somewhere by now.

@Jonly They're just tiny! Wikipedia says about 8 to 16 pounds so not much larger (and often smaller than) a domestic cat.

Alia is athletic - kinda important attribute for one of the climactic scenes at the beginning of Part 3 of "A New Faith"

Instinctive in a good way. Listens to her gut feelings and hunches. Always checks them out.

Open-minded enough to think outside-the-box. Again, in a good way. Doesn't necessarily go down rabbit-holes for the heck of it.

Basta saperlo. Se il trucco per finanziare un’iniziativa con la mega quota del 5% del Pil prevista per il riarmo è quello di dire che può servire anche per la difesa (dual use), allora è fatta. Propongo di inserire il potenziamento del Sistema Sanitario Nazionale tra i progetti sia di uso civile che militare – […]

Optimus Prime didn't die for our sins so Amazon could make more money. :neofox_solder_googly:


Liberals are gutting workers’ rights with legal trickery while pretending to respect them. The tactics include bypassing unions, killing strikes through imposed arbitration, and, ‘Independent’ inquiries justifying wage cuts.

The goal is to crush union power under Carney’s ‘prosperity’ agenda.

Liberals frame labour fights as individual greed obscuring the class struggle. This is a slow-motion union bust on national scale.

Ouch!

I've been really lucky lately re-entering the Linux world. Sites and people are offering me GUIs whether I want them or not. I think that's kind of nice and would like to see more of it.



I'd like to see what @altbot will think of this photo. This is me circa 2000 performing a Rock Bottom, The Rock's signature wrestling move, on one of my friends.

Back when we didn't take "Don't try this at home" too seriously.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring three individuals in a dynamic pose. The central figure is leaning back with their head tilted to the side, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and light blue jeans. They are making a hand gesture near their face. The person behind them is wearing a dark shirt with a graphic design and dark pants, with their hand raised. The third person is partially visible, wearing a dark shirt and pants, standing behind the central figure. The background is plain and dark, with no distinct features. The lighting is low, creating shadows and emphasizing the figures' movements.

Die Stiftung Kinder forschen (= eine relativ große Organisation im Bereich der frühen MINT-Bildung) setzt organisationsintern mit Mistral auf ein #OpenSource KI -Sprachmodell, weil Offenheit und Mündigkeit wichtige Grundwerte sind. Ein tolles Beispiel, das zeigt, dass KI-Nutzung nicht automatisch proprietäre Modelle bedeuten muss. Bitte mehr davon! 👍


Thus, according to her way of thinking, she justifies the #holocaust.

What were body parts such as 'eye', 'tooth' and 'head' called 1200 years ago in Old English?

What were their cognates in Old Dutch, Old Swedish, Old High German, and the other medieval sister languages?

And what are the reconstructions of their common Proto-Germanic ancestors? Above and below are four graphics showing the words for sixteen body parts.

Stayed tuned: later this week, I'll post the graphics about the limbs!

Please note that these graphics focus on ... 1/

US citizens: phone your congresscritter to oppose the Big Bad Bill, which Congress just passed. Here's an AFL-CIO list of how it harms low-income Americans: Rips health care away from 17 million people and eliminates 600,000 care jobs, forcing over 300 rural hospitals to close their doors. Spikes health care costs for people with employment-based insurance by nearly

The bill has already passed and been signed into law, so I think it's too late to object to it now to prevent passage, but rejecting it to your congressmen still has value.

Avoimet puutarhat oli viikonloppuna, seikkailin Kupittaan siirtolapuutarhassa. Sammaloituneet omenapuut oli melkein maisemia jo sinällään.

There was Open Gardens event on weekend, and I took a peek in many of the community garden slots in Kupittaa. Mossy old apple trees were like sceneries of their own. I was told most of them are from 1930's, when the community garden was started.
