the adapter is a really simple 3D print, although I added a few steel pins to reinforce it

adapting an Ikea desk lamp to a tripod must be one of the most cursed, yet best things I have done this year… I mean, look at it!!
@pinkflameinthepan @emilyenco This made me wonder if sucralose is also the sweetener responsible for the aftertaste issue I have with a lot of sugar-free stuff; but I just checked our bags of mealshake powder (which I don't have aftertaste issues with) and those also contain sucralose so I guess it's not the culprit for me?😕

I am not annoyed by packages not being delivered at 36 °C weather, I am annoyed by automated notification systems claiming "we're sorry".
If an automated system is mailing me, you're not sorry.

Vuurwerk in juli
Ik ga de hele zaak met grote argwaan volgen – blij met het mogelijke effect van een verbod, blij als de narigheid die vuurwerk heet echt minder wordt, maar met grote zorgen vervuld over een staat die haar macht steeds verder uitbreidt. Een staat die aantoonbaar geen bezwaar heeft tegen gezondheidsschade, milieubederf en dierenleed. Een staat die niet de slachtoffers van vuurwerk werkelijk wil beschermen. Een staat die vooral bezorgd is over haar eigen gewapende hulptroepen. Welnu, als de overlast voor politie het enige argument tegen vuurwerk zou zijn, dan was ik van vuurwerk – en vooral van het massaal en wanordelijk afsteken ervan – een groot en enthousiast voorstander. Was het allemaal maar zo eenvoudig.

my deepest, most deranged fantasy: dupont cables that last more than one use.
especially a problem with female ends, everything I used in recent memory just goes poof after 2 or 3 insertions

No surprise that the fediverse is talking about #gravy today.

"A new study suggests that exercise doesn’t clear microclots in people with Long COVID—it just fragments them into smaller ones. These smaller clots are linked to increased inflammation and impaired oxygen transport, which may help explain post-exertional malaise (PEM) and post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE)—a worsening of symptoms after even mild physical or mental effort."
"Researchers observed these microclot and inflammatory changes even after submaximal exertion, highlighting the need for caution when recommending exercise-based therapies."

Outdoor thermometer says 38.7 celsius right now, at least it's still around 25 celsius in my office, and around 26.5 celsius in the living room

My friend apparently received a physical credit card from the UK (where his bank is located) and Post Nord calculated he should pay 29 cents in VAT and 21,5 euro in "import fee"
@zipkid I've found this to be an excellent summary of most of the issues with it: https://benui.ca/why-i-refuse-ai/

I think i'll need to defend my stance on not wanting to promote and use 'AI' at work to management soon. So i will be looking for good arguments that i can write down beforehand and use, so i can try not to go off the rails.
I am already reading 'The AI Con' by @emilymbender & @alex, but more suggestions that may be easier to use are welcome.
Feel free to boost this message 🙂
@natty The thing I've seen more and more people do is getting basic household things (think scrubbing sponges, dishcloths, flashlights, cheap tools, stationery, etc.) off AliExpress or Amazon, because "the local stores are so expensive for this stuff", and that's more the thing I was thinking of with this PSA
@natty Ah yeah, you're probably not going to find that sort of thing at Action. Usually, anyway...
At one point I got two cheap 'mechanical 3D puzzles' there that were clearly just a few sheets of lasercut plywood, and it definitely felt like someone's hobby project had gotten out of hand and somehow ended up on the shelves
@natty Now I'm curious what sort of thing you normally order 😄

*Is* cycling actually more environmentally friendly than public transit, what with the energy needs of the creature powering the bike?
