@hazel the most fun part is that if you look down while it’s happening to find out the password you can’t do it all of a sudden because that’s not what your head is doing in the muscle memory for the password. your own brain just decides it would like to keep it a secret from you

some real left-brain right-brain shit is when you boot your computer and you cant remember your password but your fingers just type it anyway and log in and you still cant remember your password

It is always interesting to me how people never seem to demand evidence that cruelty will be good for "the economy" but no matter how.many studies of kinder things like UBI or housing first we do those who talk about "the economy" refuse to believe they are beneficial.

Boosting with CW, but I love this take on MAGA.

Please for fucks sake CW your posts about transphobia.

Transphobia has a high tendency for making me actively suicidal.

ok, let's say I want *the* sharpest tweezers out there. the absolute finest point you can find. sharper than a needle.

I already have the ultra fine tip pair from Weller Erem (which I think now rebranded to Apex Tools) and they are, amazingly, not fine enough for the task I have in mind.

what're my options here? are there tweezers available with tip geometry sharpened down to the micron range?

note: must be hand tweezers specifically, not anything bonkers like wire bonding rigs.

it's pretty good that a king got stabbed and we are still making jokes about it two thousand years later

I understand the programme making style required for general audience TV.

But as I watch more YouTube and shorts than everything else I’m used to stuff that’s tailored to people already interested in the topic, without the detailed exposition and emotional interviews to get you invested.

Summary:
🔹Licencing a company to buy debt is hard & takes years.
🔹He wrote off £1M debt with £100k of his to make a point: Govt should consider the Fair Banking Act & make banks accountable.
🔹Govt/banks declined interview.
🔹Gordon brown interviewed & said he’d try help start some conversations.

I just watched Michael Sheen’s £1M Giveaway. I don’t want to detract from the mission which I wholeheartedly agree with, but God I forgot how slow TV is!

Long-form tv aimed at a general audience, with all the required exposition feels a lot slower than YouTube.

What appears to be an LRAD fired towards the crowd during 15 minutes of silence (one for each victim of the canopy collapse), causing a brief stampedo (fortunately with no serious consequences).

Students did what they planned to do after a security incident: they took off their reflective clothing and said that the protests are officially over, distancing themselves from whatever happens next.

What happens next remains to be seen, but needless to say, thousands of people are still out there.

To give you a sense of sheer scale, this is what Google's traffic layer looks like right now.

Despite the rain, despite the government shutting down every form of public transport towards Belgrade, the amount of people on the streets of Belgrade right now is absolutely *insane*.

Today's protest is already being referred to as the biggest protest in Serbian history — and rightfully so.

The people are still pouring in, the peak of the crowd isn't expected until 8pm.
