ADHD is amazing cause I’ve got more projects than I can finish in two lifetimes and I’ll ponder them for weeks to then do a handful in a rush whilst pushing off things that would take 5mins
The two genders of woodworking video:
1. "Here's how I turned a free pallet into a $5000 coffee table (using $8000 of equipment and $2000 of consumable supplies that I didn't mention)"
2. "Here's a 15 minute ad for my woodworking plans that pretends to be an educational video but leaves out crucial details"
Today's project was clearing out and reorganizing the garage, so that it is actually usable for projects again, and I can actually reach my tools and supplies properly. Pictures forthcoming, probably tomorrow! Battery too empty to make them now.
Yesterday's project was trying to finish my plant table - basically a large table that'll sit in front of the living room window, so I can put seedlings and such there so that they get a lot of sun.
It's made from some reused wood from old (no longer usable) shelving units, and some garbage-tier hardware store wood for the frame; the new hardware store wood is actually *worse* than the reused wood in many ways...
Anyway, I've almost finished it; I just had to wait for the glue to dry, then flipped it upside down, and now I still need paint the top... and then it's completed!
(It doesn't look particularly nice but that's okay - this is more a practice project than anything, to try out different techniques and see what works, and if something doesn't work, oh well - it's just a plant table anyway)

Ik twijfel of ik de Gamma uberhaupt wel een bouwmarkt kan noemen, eigenlijk. Ze lijken vooral graag *producten* te verkopen i.p.v. materialen...

When a building site labourer needs to look busy, they pick up a broom. When an executive needs to look busy, they call a meeting.
The advantage of the broom is that it doesn't use up the time of people who actually are busy.
We should give executives brooms.

for the record before SRS I took 5mg every 2 days and my T was *nuked*, like it was lower than the cis girl reference minimum. I know trans women who took 2.5mg every 2 days and were fully in the cis girl range, but you definitely shouldn't take this thing for life, please go read transfemscience until you learn to fear it.
https://transfemscience.org/articles/cpa-dosage/
https://transfemscience.org/articles/cpa-meningioma/
and stop taking 50mg ,100mg per day my Gods. 50mg at only 20 days/month gives you a 20× increase in meningioma risk. (same goes for medroxy—it's probably not going to kill you but please keep your usage of it time-limited or it *might*)

I do think LLMs capture the zeitgeist in one way: that we’re all supposed to just accept that things are a bit shite all the time, in tech and otherwise. That it’s just how things are & we shouldn’t expect better. Shut up, accept the slop, things getting worse, the enshittification. It’s just the way things are.
No, piss off. Things can be better, we’ve done it before. Just because some people can’t or won’t remember, doesn’t mean we all have to accept their low standards.

@HeavenlyPossum A thing some folks have a hard time grasping is that
A stateless society does not have to be a not-organized society.
You can still have services, still have societal stability and still have security against the much feared feudal warlords and what have you.
Because assuming people stop existing and organizing the moment the state ceases to exist is actually silly.

Terugkoppeling van de filmavond vanavond. Een van ons had de filmavond georganiseerd, maar niet expliciet vanuit AK-Utrecht. Tevreden kijkt ie terug op vanavond. tussen de 30 en 40 mensen waren aanwezig en het gros bleef voor het panel discussie. In het panel zaten, Jan Korff de gidts, Jos Kloppenborg, Merel en onze activist.
De insteek van deze avond was de verscheidenheid van groepen en tactieken. Om mensen een idee te geven wat er kan, dat er voor iedereen een plek en dat je de tactiek kan kiezen die het beste bij je past.
Op een vraag vanuit het publiek over meer positieve acties, antwoordden onze activist:
Ik leer mensen bomen knuffelen op hoogte.
Ook goed om nog te melden is de dodo excursie op 1 april. Daar naast hoorden we iets over asfaltbevers en een grote dassenburcht.

In the 15+ years people have been promoting blockchains, this flowchart remains undefeated.

For fucks sake, how fucking racist-brained do you need to be to respond to a toot about Teslas being exceptionally unsafe with "Just a reminder that half of all Teslas come from China" and nothing else
