@sibeles@mamot.fr i was told for the bigger part of my life that nazis are literally the devil and you can't possibly come back from being one. now ukraine applies some freedom ™️ magic and now they are totes clean democrats!!11

@sharongelman i'm not against the goals, i'm against the things done to reach those. why do all the things done lower standards accross the spectrum? everything done by "progressives" is spiraling downwards.

if you really wanted to fight oppression you'd push for abandoning the government. as it stands you are weaponizing the government just like the "other side" is and want even more governmental powers

@IAMAL_PHARIUS yeah, maybe we should work on the wine sipping cool aunt phenomenon instead.

wouldn't be a problem if there was no hook up cancer culture.

BREAKING: Survey of Haskell programmers suggests that while most enjoy the programming language and enjoy talking about it, very few of their personal projects are actually written in it.

@CapitalB doomed i say!

reading this, maybe covid just was a plot to move people to a soy based diet? :blobthinkingcool:

I overheard a conversation where someone complained about who I think is a young female being absorbed in books... and I just thought how wonderful that is. I mean, it sucks if it is taking over her social life but there are much worse things she could be doing than reading a lot of books. It's good to see this pastime still being active and it may help to give her some conversation starters with other people interested in reading books similar to her some day. She could even choose books that will teach her new skills in the future.

My daughter received her acceptance letter & welcome packet from Drexel University yesterday and I couldn’t be prouder. She’ll be going for her degree in Animation & Visual Effects. She’s an incredibly talented artist, but #animation is new to her.
I got her a new PC for Christmas and I’m looking for suggestions for programs, tools, YouTube channels, etc to help get her started.
This is one of my favorite, fairly recent pieces of her #art.

@Witteg @m0urs und ganz ohne "smart grid"! einfach mit uralt rundsteuerempfängern. warum das nicht aufgebohrt weiter genutzt wird ist mir aber eh nicht klar, vermute aber: kann man halt keine daten abgreifen :)

@Witteg @m0urs afaik ist rundsteuerung für wärmepumpen aber seit ewigkeiten standard. halt nicht wie bei nachtstrom in einer riesenperiode sondern in blöcken mit maximalen pausenzeiten. das ist für flächenheizungen die für wärmepumpen viel mehr sinn machen wegen der geringeren vorlauftemperatur absolut ausreichend, so lange puffert das wasser die temperatur. für die heizung ist das absolut kein problem. warmwasser sieht wahrscheinlich anders aus, hab ich aber auch noch nirgendwo mit WP gesehen.

fürs autos aufladen ist das natürlich nicht so gut. die brauchen ja meistens tatsächlich irgendwas um 8h ladezeit an einem hausanschluss.

> I am sixteen, and it is my first day working at a tiny rural convenience store. My coworker is showing me the ropes.
> Coworker: “Oh, since you’re here until the afternoon, you’ll get to meet Giles.”
> Me: “Who is Giles?”
> Coworker: “He’s the best customer ever! Can’t wait for you to meet him.”
> Me: “Cool.”
> My coworker is on lunch break, and I am manning the checkout. The manager of the store swings by; he’s not always there.
> Manager: “Has Giles come by yet?”
> Me: “I’m not actually sure.”
> Manager: “Oh, you’d know if he did. He’s our favorite customer!”
> Me: “So I’ve been told, but I don’t know what he looks like.”
> Manager: “Trust me, you’d know. Well, I am glad I haven’t missed him. I’ll be in the office. Let me know when he comes by.”
> I nod, but honestly, short of asking every customer if they happen to be Giles, I have no idea how to fulfill that request. Luckily, my coworker comes back from lunch and I get to go on mine. I come back and work until around mid-afternoon.
> Suddenly, there’s a single bark from the front of the store. I see my coworker giddily rush around the checkout, rapping on the office door as he does so. Both my coworker and my manager head outside and are excitedly met by the happiest golden retriever I’ve ever seen. They give the little guy hugs and some small treats that seem to magically appear from their pockets.
> My coworker then unzips a fanny pack wrapped around the dog and takes out some cash and a piece of paper. He then runs around the store, collects three or four small items, and places them into the fanny pack, zipping it back up.
> After one more round of hugs and treats, the golden retriever knows it’s time to leave and happily trots off down the street.
> Me: “Giles?”
> Coworker & Manager: *Both beaming huge smiles* “Giles.”
> It turned out that Giles’s owner was disabled and lived literally thirty seconds away, but even this was a challenge for her at times. She would send her support dog on small grocery runs on weekday afternoons while her carer made a daily visit, and then she’d come in for the bigger grocery run on the weekends.
> Giles was quickly my favorite customer, too!

Winter solstice at Newgrange, Ireland. Dating from c. 3,200 BC, its central passage is illuminated by sunlight on the morning of the the shortest day of the year. Light pierces the world of darkness, prefiguring the return of life in spring. #WinterSolstice
