is it possible there's a bunch of alien communication going on, but it's all encrypted so that it just looks like noise in our measurements?

it may just be my perception, but weather forecasts seem to be much better than they were when I was younger.

free sewing machine, probably broken
So I've got a Singer 834 #sewing machine that I would gladly give away. It broke down yesterday again and I expect I could fix it again, but I am kind of tired of this happening so often, so I want to get a more reliable one.
The thing that is broken is the spinny thing that is supposed to tangle the lower thread with the upper (as you can see I'm clearly a professional who knows all the terms) -- it isn't properly synchronized with the needle. I suspect you want it only if you like tinkering with such devices or you want it for parts.
I can send it anywhere from Switzerland, but if the postal costs are too high I might ask you to chip in.

Energy saving tip number 9
-------------
Slow down...
Drag increases as the square of speed increase, so when you drive faster, you use much more fuel than you may realize.
Driving slower can save up to 40% or more in fuel.
So...
Slow down and enjoy the scenery.

much closer to what I like with this one. baked at 375°F, no oats or any other add-ins, about half whole wheat and half bread flour. I also realized just now that I put in about twice as much yeast per volume of water and flour as usual since I halved all the other ingredients, but I guess it just made proofing faster. crust isn't he hard or soft: just how I like it. I can also get more of the maple syrup aroma than usual.
the shape is just because I got a bit frustrated with the dough and punched it flat, then didn't care to shape it into a proper loaf pan. I get more crust this way, I reckon, so it works out

#metaverse
I forgot, the other reason for a #metaverse is to have a means to have more ways to monetize peoples' every interpersonal interaction through persistent surveillance: when the walls are made of code, all of the walls can have ears
