Last Notes npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 This comic holds up extremely well npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 My partner bagged up all the extra candy from Halloween to give away so we wouldn’t be eating it all November. Good idea in theory, I guess, except they haven’t actually done the part where you give away the candy. So there’s a bag of candy that my partner knows where it is, but I don’t, and I keep finding little wrappers all over the house—tiny testaments to overwhelming candy temptation. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 2 year old inadvertently coming up with killer ideas: “cake pop demon hunters” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 It is weird that London Drugs is one of the better selections of board games around. For USians, this is like a CVS or a Walgreens but they inexplicably have a pretty solid selection of board games year round. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 A lot of carbon credits are essentially manufactured out of thin air through quantifying things that people or companies are already doing, and then claiming the delta between that and some imaginary scenario where they weren’t doing that equates is carbon reduction, which is then sold to heavy emitters as an offset. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 “Sorry guys, 911 is down because OpenAI is having an outage” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Just got contacted by a recruiter for a venture-backed startup looking to replace 911 operators with LLMs to triage emergency calls and boy I can’t express how much A) no I do not want to join your company, and B) how much I do not want to live in the world where 911 calls are handled by LLMs operated by for-profit companies npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Are 3D printed glasses frames a thing? The lenses are seldom damaged, but I have a bad track record with frames. If I could just print off a new pair at home, that would be very handy tbh npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Toddler snapped my glasses by head butting me in the face …twice in the past two weeks. They glued back together okay both times. 5 y/o just flopped down next to me on my bed and completely pulverized my glasses. 🙃 npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I still haven’t quite wrapped my head around taxes. The government creates all money, and then claws back some of that money. I’m sure there are good math reasons for the abstraction of taxes, but it seems vaguely inefficient at first glance. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I can’t see the trees on the nearby hill due to the wildfire smoke, but Apple Weather thinks we’ve got perfect visibility. …I think their model could use some adjusting, or new sources of input. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 The number of folks going delusional with a yesman ChatGPT makes it clearer why so many rich and famous people seem to be delusional. Obviously humans aren’t well equipped to deal with yesmen and sycophants. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 The movement in power strives on misinformation and muddying the waters. Every boundary that is pushed and unchallenged is another foothold, so they push all boundaries; and weakening sources of facts strengthens the power of the loud-voiced. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I don’t think so in this case. Going in and editing what should be a largely static webpage to remove certain sections would be a very strange act of incompetency. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Asshole being the game where you have to play higher ranked sets of cards than whatever was played until everyone passes? If so, we also knew that as Asshole, though I only encountered it as an older teenager. Some groups know it as President or Scum npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Did you play card games with a normal deck of cards growing up? What games? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Our electricity bill is in my partner’s name. She gets the bill notifications, and always forgets to pay it. But it has only been an issue once or twice because I log in to check the energy usage monitoring dashboard regularly enough that I usually catch any bills too. We should really just move it into my name… npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 These are bits of plants that have fallen off onto the sidewalk? Why wouldn’t it be okay? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Question for you smarty pants people: Why is infrastructure seemingly cheaper to build in Europe than Canada (and the US)? I’ve heard all sorts of excuses for why China can build things and we can’t, but basically none of those excuses explain why Europe can get stuff built affordably. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 If you have a sweatshirt/hoodie/cardigan and get too hot, do you… (only four options allowed so if you have an alternative, comment with it) npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 “Some day they’ll figure out that I just bluffed my way through university, and my PhD, and my years of gainful employment, and then the other shoe will drop!” says the imposter, who is me. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I’m acquaintances with quite a few “AI true believers” (an occupational hazard in my line of work). More than one of them has stated seriously that they believe AGI and rapid self-improvement is coming within the next 18 months. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 “I’m sorry, Ms. Delacourt, but your son has tested positive for Linux.” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 They should make a far future solarpunk Jurassic World with shades of Dinotopia npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 You might also be interested in this combination of games and puzzles: https://kevan.org/games/jigwar npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 The first edition of the Renegade version of Arboretum had a typo on the card backs that they read “Aboretum”. But its box art looks like it makes a cracking puzzle npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I don’t often share parenting tips, but this one I stand behind: Teach your toddler to say “in this economy?” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 To have this you would need every patch of a tiling to be unique, right? I think then if you had this you would be guaranteed to be an aperiodic tiling: since no two patches are alike, there’s no way to translate it. Conversely, my gut says that aperiodic tilings have this property at *some level*. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 It’s “Bezos-backed” but not sure what that means exactly. He might have given them some money and they’re using his name for legitimacy. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Hate the big flat hood obviously. And it’s still bigger and faster than anything should be. But it’s also much better than many of the vehicles on the road today. And if pricing holds won’t put its owners in the same debt as many cars today. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 If we have to have cars, the Slate Truck is a step in the right direction, honestly. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Exxon Valdez was the disaster while Montreal Protocol was the solution. I bet many people have heard of “hole in the ozone”. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I got the advanced voting days wrong and now have to vote on the actual voting day. Lame. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 All I want is a dense walkable town, with most shops and services available in town, surrounded by nature, with regular train service. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Is there a safe color that means heart? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 So far around here I’ve seen signage for CPC and NDP and Green, in order of prevalence. I wasn’t sure the Liberals even had a candidate here but apparently they do. I’m guessing they’re understandably not putting much effort into running here, given the slim chances of winning. I’ve been heartened by the last local and provincial elections, where local conservatives made a lot of noise and failed to get the votes. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 NDP getting virtually wiped out in BC? That seems like a huge shift from the last election. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I drew a silly one npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 uggggghhh, we are gonna get invaded aren’t we this is so dumb this is all so dumb npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I did this with my finger on my phone, so I hope it gets the point across npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Now that’s addressing a problem! npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 We had a confirmed measles case in our office when I lived in Ontario. The company tried to cover it up but eventually sent out an email a week after it had happened. That made me so freaking mad, but I had already given my notice at that point. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Ignoring bills/subscription services that might happen in the background, how often do you buy something? ie, make the deliberate wilful act of exchanging money for goods or services. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 The lock down phase of the pandemic was a relatively minor blip, and messed up global supply chains for ages. Climate disasters will be way more disruptive. We really should be working to shorten chains as much as possible before we find out the hard way. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I support buying Canadian both because of the tariff stuff but also because I am deeply concerned about the fragility of global supply chains. Anyway, maybe we should consider building some of these in the prairies: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2020/04/fruit-trenches-cultivating-subtropical-plants-in-freezing-temperatures/ npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Airbnb did untold damage to thousands upon thousands of communities long before its owner joined DOGE. Just sayin’… npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Reminds me of math lines from “new math” https://math.hmc.edu/funfacts/visual-multiplication-with-lines/ npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I haven’t seen Collective Arts since we moved out west, not sure I can get it here, but I loved their (alcoholic) beers I tried! npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Besides Guinness, are there any non alcoholic beers that are drinkable? I’ve tried sips of a bunch and Guinness is the only halfway decent one I’ve met yet, but open to more suggestions. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Did kids bring sleds to school when you were a kid? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I know the bridge can make posts visible between BlueSky and Mastodon but how does interaction between accounts work, if at all? Is it like those Twitter reposters or is there actually bidirectional interaction possible? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I was trying to sell somebody on Mastodon and they were unconvinced said, “I don’t know, I just hate all the ads on social media.” I blinked for a second, “Oh, well, yeah, there aren’t any ads on Mastodon.” and they immediately grew more interested. I forget how nice that is, and that it would be a major selling point. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Curious person stumbles into the back of a tent, finds a cloth covered table with a deck of tarot cards. Customer walks in assuming they are offering a reading. The person, who I now realize must be British so that they are too socially awkward to just say something, proceeds to do a reading… “Ummm… this one means you will buy too many swords… and be sad about it” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Interesting! Maybe I should check out another instance and see what that’s like. The federated feed gets populated with the follows of your instance-mates, so on a smaller instance like mine, a few people with porn heavy follow lists could easily gum up the works. I had assumed it was a problem universally experienced! npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Federated timeline was really bad before muting users, blocking users, filtering hashtags as needed. One cropped up today on my main feed that had no easily filterable tells, prompting this post. My only option in this case would be unfollowing the booster, who I otherwise enjoy following. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I’m not sure how to square this circle, either. I don’t think anyone is wrong morally or socially for proliferating this smut. Nor am I convinced that they should be required to label it in some easily filterable manner (though it would be kind to do so). And yet, I’d really rather not see it. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 There’s a particular type of pornography that is really common on Mastodon, and I have no interest in seeing it. Indeed, I don’t even want to see pornography for sexual proclivities that *are* aligned with my particular tastes. I wish there was a good way to filter that content out of my feeds, but I haven’t found one. I have blocked some common hashtags, muted some users, and unfollowed others, but it feels like playing whackamole. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Canadians in particular love this question, and not just for obvious immigrants. I “pass” for white Anglo Canadian and people still ask me this very early on in our conversations, and are surprised when my answer is not Canada. Like, why did they ask if they didn’t expect an answer? I suspect it’s some hyper regional BS, like sussing out mainlanders or something. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Here’s the same joke but I drew it instead npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 You spent HOW MUCH on monkeys and typewriters, when all you needed to do was pay a human writer a living wage? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 After the election, I disengaged hard. I just dipped my toe back in and it’s like we’re right back in 2019. People really missed this, huh? Feeling very let the world burn today. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Putting on a t-shirt do you do… npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Is your hobby actually the hobby or is it buying stuff for the hobby? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Probably just my bubble, but I haven’t heard any anti-worker grumbling about the Canada post strike. Are attitudes toward labor and unions truly shifting? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 0 days 😔 I check the news and only found out about this from your toot npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Oh right, someone told me they couldn’t see it anymore. I’m not on that platform. It’s showing up on Insta for me now too (it disappeared for a while for me). Maybe just auto reporting take downs npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I’m hearing tell that this video has been pulled from both TikTok and Instagram. That’s corporate media for you… npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Dang, this might be one of his finest yet https://youtu.be/J_swGiAHhbQ Jesse Welles “United Health” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 If you use Spotify, why not make a playlist of small time musicians and play it on a muted device all night while you sleep. You could even automate it if you’re into that kind of thing. They’ll maybe get a few cents and it will cost you nothing npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 This is my tiny hill I will die on. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I’ve never had a stuffed vegetable that impressed me. I am prepared to write off the entire genre. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Renationalization does happen, but I’m unsure of any examples of it happening *quickly*. I would doubt that it’s something the dems would simply reverse if they were to get back in power after a term. I’m pretty sure there have been some cases of new, functionally similar entities being spun up, too, rather than renationalizing the private corp — depends on the holdings of the corp probably. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Tell me more about these strips that didn’t make it into anything… I thought I had read all Calvin & Hobbes… npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Something ironic about international men’s day falling nearly on the same day as the gender gap day npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 this seems like a pretty good design honestly https://electrek.co/2024/11/13/this-new-sun-powered-electric-cargo-moped-is-literally-giant-solar-panels-on-wheels/ npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I live in a small town in a rural area, and so I am an unlikely proponent of "urbanism", but I really believe a lot of the things we only talk about in the context of cities* make sense in population centres of all sizes. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Buy used, whenever you can. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 you're interrupting the doom and I do not care for it npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I understand what y'all are doing with your pretty pictures and funny videos or whatever, but just let me spiral into my doomscrolling in peace, please npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 And now that’s in my head… ta! npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 This movie involves time travel to 20 years ago, the year 2003, and why are they attacking me like this? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I have some t-shirts of my own design I want to own. Some of them, I can see other people wanting too. I’m not looking to make money from this, I have a job. Anyone have a recommendation for a website for this? A simple store front and decent t-shirts? npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Welp, that's scary. Trying to comfort myself with the (too narrow for my taste) margin in the polls. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 If people get this worked up about pronouns, I’d hate to be around when they find out about adverbs, gerunds, or (heaven forfend) ejaculations. npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 Scientists: “God, LaTeX is a fucking nightmare. I hate it.” npub1h5cau7wrudj28csne9nant9eqm64aqrqnhhvh40sn5qs5j45gytq9zmly2 🚲 I do wonder if electric cars will see a significant shift in nose design.
