I had poor control yesterday. Neither impulse control or consequently diabetic blood sugar control were anywhere near good enough. If it didn’t mean something else I’d say I was a hot mess.

A little Brucey Bonus on this fine Thursday morning, Opened a multipack pack of 12 Quavers. There were 13 bags in there. Unlucky for some. Lucky for us.

Apparently its all OK now.

There's some footaball happening. It would appear, not only are we shit but also, we know we are. There's also some reference to the referee's onanistic habits.

OK, that works... Quite impressed with @jlc3dp - zoom in to see the detail!

The PCB with LEDs to go inside is expected tomorrow.

Update: Someone asked me if this image was real, not AI, or proof of concept: FFS, it is a real photograph I took of a real 3D print!

And yes, I am mastodon only now, so bloody well boost 🙂 thanks.

P.S. never expected "bloody well boost" to work. Thanks all.

Pro tip for regulators looking to do good by their citizens (a troublingly small subset):

The memorypocalypse (deflationary RAM pricing across multiple years) should put usable hardware lifetimes at the very center of the agenda; the best approaches are legislated bootloader unlocks from date of sale, firmware code-in-escrow (OSS'd + patent unencumbered for firms that fail to deliver security updates less than 6 years out), and legalising browser choice to extend app compat and enable alt OSes.

PSA: Dutch Police is now introducing trans contact person(s).

• Why? Because it's been a known problem for a long time that trans people are routinely denied help, blocked from filing reports or even speaking with RozeInBlauw.
• Where? Major regions to begin with it seems (Amsterdam, Utrecht, DenHaag)

The trans contact person(s) seems to actually be trans themselves, which is a night → day difference in understanding.

Source: I have personally spoken with the police who told me. I do this regularly as I've had difficulties with safety since I came out as trans.

Why would people spend good money on Delia Smith’s ’How to boil and egg’ when Google AI can simply tell them to stick it in the microwave for 5 minutes?

Do you live near a data center that makes a noise loud enough to bother you in your home? If so, please DM me. Also, please boost this so I get some responses. I need some information.

Some people look at the number of people diagnosed with #Autism year on year and call it an epidemic. If they looked at the number of exoplanets discovered year on year would they reach the same conclusion. That some environmental factor was causing worlds to pop into existence all over the galaxy? Or would they consider that as science progresses, it might get better at spotting things that were there all along.

There are magical moths with wings like feathers. If you showed me this creature in another context I'd say "fake!"

This is a "plume moth" from outside of Moscow.

I don't know what this adaptation is about, maybe it's just to be etherial and make people think they maybe saw a fairy.
