Yealmpton, Devon

This granite monolith is known as the Goreus Stone from the inscription, possibly a 3rd century tombstone for an early British chieftain. Predictably, it is also called the Toreus Stone and said to be C6-C7.

It is situated in St Bartholomew churchyard and moved to its present position immediately west of the church in 1851.

So, I finally finished repairing and refinishing my grandmother's bookcase. The shelves were originally attached with pegs, but after making structural repairs, I could only put pegs into one side of the bookshelves. It seems my grandfather had that problem as well, since I saw that he put a nail into one of the pegged spots. With the pegs, the bookshelf was foldable. I noticed that a lot of furniture my grandparents owned was on wheels (probably because they moved around a lot)? Anyhow, I'm quite pleased with the results, and now my grandmother's bookcase is in my upstairs hallway, and is filled with cryptozoology books, history books, and tomes about spooky lore and other subjects related to my fiction writing.

America’s health care is already broken & overpriced. Now Kennedy’s anti-vax crusade + Trump’s $1T cuts will make millions sicker, poorer & more vulnerable. This is NOT “Making America Healthy Again.”

Atmosphere: "Study on non-exhaust emissions in road dust," Brake dust is radically different from tire wear. Greater penetration of EVs is changing urban air quality in a second beneficial way which has nothing to do with eliminating tailpipe emissions. "A new analysis in London, Milan, and Barcelona shows battery electric cars cut brake dust by about 83% thanks to regenerative braking." However, the tradeoff is electric cars also tend to be heavier, so they can increase tiny particles from tire wear even as brake dust plummets. "Benedetto Giechaskiel, PhD, European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRCs ), has led peer-reviewed work into how pads, discs, filters, and regenerative braking shape these non-exhaust particles." EV drivetrains convert velocity or kinetic energy largely back into battery charging, so the friction brakes work less, slashing the dust [as seen in the photo] that otherwise becomes airborne near crosswalks and bus stops. And brake dust tends to produce more airborne fine particles at the curb, which is what drivers, passenger, cyclists + pedestrians inhale. Notably, "only a small fraction of tire wear becomes airborne PM10, with one comprehensive review estimating about 1%." And most tire fragments settle on roadsides, wash into drains or are cleaned up by street sweeping vehicles. "Particulate matter is not one thing but a mix of sizes and chemistries, and the smallest particles, PM2.5, are the fractionmost closely tied to asthma attacks, heart strain, and early death." Brake dust also carries metals like copper + iron, while tires shed rubbery microplastics + sulfur compounds." While there is currently a tradeoff, the weight of batteries + motors is trending downwards, so this problem may disappear. Clearly, brake dust is dangerous + an 83% reduction is music to my ears.

@andre123 I think it's important when you go in for service that you tell them to not replace the brake liniing unless it is truly worn down. I think they are likely to replace them on a rote schedule.

thank you, I was also wondering about this matter, I will make a note to remember to tell them !

Nee, @De Volkskrant, hier zou absoluut geen content moeten staan van welk smerig Big Tech-bedrijf dan ook, zeker niet de paar die jullie hier noemen.

Dus nee, uiteraard accepteer ik die cookies niet! Stelletje prutsers, ga eens normaal doen. Voor een optimale gebruikservaring moet ik niets doen, maar jullie: ophouden met de enshittification!

I woke up laughing today.

Must have slept funny.






This week in #FDroid (TWIF) was live but we had other bussiness to attend to:

* #OSUOSL is back
* #Fennec issue explainer
* More metrics niceness
* 10 years of #Disroot
+ 12 new apps
& 135 updates

good to know I'm not the only one with the fennec issue


Heartbreaking discussion about the last 12 months at NASA. As one panelist put it: “A lot of smart people who think about the future. Where are they going?”
Presentation Titled: “Challenges of Working at NASA This Past Year”NASA Panelists on the Space Track
A.C. Charania, Scott G.C. Edgington, Les Johnson, Trina L. Ray, Kim Steadman (not in order)

The sobering realization is how much has changed since Dragon Con twelve months ago.

Despite Russian efforts to carefully conceal their artillery, operators from Ukraine’s 58th Brigade managed to catch a 2S1 self-propelled howitzer during its towing phase.



Mr. Studly expending energy on a very hot day to chase the competition away from his herd of mares. Silly boy. This is one of the isolated Carter Reservoir herd of Spanish mustangs in far northwestern Nevada. These feral horses feature primitive markings of leg stripes, capes, stripes down the back, herringbone, & have been DNA tested to the original Iberian stock brought to the Americas by the marauding Conquistadors in the 16th century.

Nazi Germany wasn't created by "late-stage capitalism" or "neoliberalism." When you see evil people do evil things, cry out for justice. Don't let them off the hook by blaming an -ism.

The image depicts five individuals walking in a desert-like environment with a large, mechanical structure in the background. The setting appears to be a post-apocalyptic or science fiction world, characterized by a dusty, barren landscape. The individuals are dressed in various types of tactical gear, suggesting they are part of a team or crew. The person in the center wears a long red coat, while the others are in more utilitarian outfits, including vests and helmets. The background features a massive, weathered mechanical structure with large circular components, adding to the futuristic and rugged atmosphere of the scene.
