Turns out that strawberries from my own garden, when picked at the right ripeness, taste vastly better than anything I can buy in a supermarket here any time of the year

Edit: Thanks everyone. Several first-hand recs for Unifi, Monoprice, and Digikey (all of which I've dealt with myself, just not for cable).
Original: Can someone recommend a currently reliable source for (non-counterfiet) Cat6 / Cat7 cable? Small quantity; maybe two or three 1000 foot spools. I remember the last time I needed some, this was a like buying a used car.

I want to apologize for spamming the trans hashtag with fun memes, but then I remember that it's currently filled with depressing ass politics, so I'm not going to apologize.
What if it's good to have a little fun sometimes before we get back to fighting transphobia? The transphobia will be there when we're done with our jokes.

Heel goed natuurlijk dit. Maar echt, waarom moeten artsen eerst zélf ziek worden voordat het inzicht komt? Onuitstaanbaar en slecht. Waarom patiënten en ouders niet op hun woord geloven? Onderzoeken serieus nemen?
En verder het is mij nog veel te soft. "In gesprek gaan?" Ik stel de tuchtraad voor.
Zorgcollega's roepen kinderartsen tot de orde over #ME/CVS.

Does anyone have a *well-supported* answer on how to deal with used paintbrushes and paint rollers?
I see advice like "don't rinse them under the tap because it pollutes the water" which, fine. But then also "don't use turpentine because it's bad for the environment".
And then ultimately this turns into "treat brushes and rollers as consumable, just throw them away with mixed waste after use" and like, what? That's not great for the environment either!
So what's *actually* the solution here? What is *actually* the least environmentally destructive option? And is there any actual data to support that?

Saw some blog post talking about "lessons from AI programming", and there was a whole section about treating agentic AI like an "intern". The whole point of internships is it's for the *intern's benefit*! It's so the intern gets work experience! An internship shouldn't be synonymous with mindless gruntwork!
...obviously I get that internships are widely abused, and a lot of people treat junior devs poorly. But it’s depressing seeing people just be open about it.

I know I've tooted basically this before, but it's increasing tempting to start a wellness non-scam.
Exactly the style of a wellness/woo scam, but it's fully upfront about being pseudo-science the whole time.
✅ Check out your eye with a microscope, give you a comprehensive report on why each of the colours and patterns is extremely fucking cool
✅ Foot massage where I also tell you that I really hope other parts of your body are feeling better too
✅ Steam. It's just nice.
✅ Clearly labelled sugar pills
✅ Totally normal herbs, just munch whichever takes your fancy or put them on your body. They smell really nice.
✅ Series of tactile, aesthetically pleasing substances including pink salt, charcoal, green clay. Be in their presence, put them on your face, I don't care, they won't do anything other than be fun either way, so you do you.

The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.
Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.
That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).
Freedom is always worth fighting for.

the white feedback loop of ~only giving (mutual aid) to someone you know~ yet never making friends with Black folks because you refuse to put any effort into working on your racism or you just couldnt give a damn to make friends with a Black person ... congrats, you're reinforcing Jim Crow. that's segregation, that's redlining. beyond chattel slavery, this systemic disconnect of cash flow is a big motivation behind the concept of reparations.
all minus 2 Indigenous folks on my mutual aid request list are Black and damn near everyone has been struggling to get their needs met these past few months. white people on here could stand to give a damn. because i watch your white friends' goals get met over and over and quicker than these folks. did you all decide these people just don't deserve help anymore because they keep needing help? (the following sentence contains sarcasm) it's almost as if they're stuck in a shit situation because of a systemic problem!

(Also, any project where the answer is "there are none" fails this test, because that tells me that people don't accurately *recognize* conflict and therefore have not learned how to deal with it in a healthy way)

something I never considered before: in countries with regular earthquakes you have to over-rate your lifting straps and chains on cranes so that earthquake shocks don't cause a failure mid-lift.

I love it when people say shit like "In my culture, food is very important" or "Where I come from, children are a central part of life". Please drop by some time and pick up your medal for having a culture with such unique traits
politiek, gl/pvda (4)
Afijn, dit soort gedrag vanuit partijen is waarom ik het totaal niet serieus kan nemen als mensen zeggen dat grassroots bewegingen samen 'moeten' werken met politieke partijen om iets te bereiken. En al helemaal niet als die partijen zelf roepen om 'linkse eenheid' e.d.
Want in de praktijk betekent dat vooral dat iedereen geacht wordt zich aan te passen aan de koers van de partij. Dat is geen samenwerking, dat is ondergeschiktheid. Een samenwerking werkt twee kanten op, en daar staan partijen duidelijk niet voor open.
