ok so what do I do if I think someone is running scam calls while in the family compartment of a RailJet?
I do question the wisdom of recalling the product, ie. telling people to *throw it away and replace it*, when the problem with the product is that it contains a substance which is environmentally harmful if it ends up in the environment...

@venite het echte vakantiegevoel is een qr-code scannen op de lunchtafel, online bestellen en dan een half uur wachten tot er iemand uit de keuken komt met 1 boterham

Ik eet een broodje met hummus en gegrilde groenten. Voor het echte vakantiegevoel zeg ik eerst “Heeft u een keus kunnen maken mevrouw?” tegen mezelf en dan “Ja, graag het broodje hummus!” alsof er meer dan één optie zou zijn bij een gemiddelde lunchlocatie en die ene optie niet sowieso een broodje hummus is.

Happy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.

1-day delivery? More like 1 day to be told to go pick it up from a warehouse yourself because you weren't fast enough to catch the alleged delivery attempt

Huh, the independent bookstore in my hometown has a pretty decent search thing where you can just tell them to have the book sent to the store and then you pick it up and pay for it then
This is a better customer experience than Amazon's "oops you weren't home so we sent it to a warehouse at the edge of Montreal that is only accessible by car for 3 hours a week when you're working"

hypothetical, violence resulting in death, silicon valley
When the revolution comes for the Silicon Valley tech industry, they will make sure the CEOs have consented to their beheading by asking them:
Do you want to be beheaded?
Yes
Maybe later
Also, it has a Celeron, but it's zippy as fuck. Guess not all Celerons are complete garbage after all!
So yesterday, we set up a second-hand Intel NUC as our new 'TV box', for running Jellyfin and Kodi and all that stuff on.
We should've really done this ages ago. It's *so much* nicer to deal with than the crappy Android TV boxes sold everywhere, and not necessarily even more expensive...
(It's technically not even a safety recall, it seems, but rather they sold me something that uses leaded solder and so that's why it's getting recalled)

i really wish people if they could didn't use AI even if it's used for leftist causes or propaganda. like come on. this is so bunk.
"but i can't draw" you can make collages! just find several pictures on the internet and stitch or overlay or glue them together or something. you can do that with letters too. it adds even this scrappy DIY punk flavor to it. cmon. leave your mark on the world

I still find my "formerly just Austrian, now EU-wide unlimited data with 64 kbps speed after 1 GB" contract way too funny to cancel it
Incredible, I've gotten a safety recall notice from AliExpress. I didn't even know they *had* a system for that

people don't understand the phrase "sunlight is the best disinfectant" but they use it all the time. the average liberal thinks 'well if we give this man a stage to say his stuff, people will realise it's silly' but no, they want the stage to sell the already marketable version. they've already disinfected it so all you're doing is spreading propaganda. the shit you need to put in the sunlight is the stuff they *don't* want you to see. that's the only time it works, if it works at all.

Which of the following is / are more useful / accessible for a downloadable report or long read document?
Feel free to give me reasons. I am especially interested if you have sight issues from the mild to more severe.
