For some time I've been buying cheap shirts from the market and tailoring them to fit me.
It's something I advise everyone to learn how to do.

- A sewing machine is cheap: you can find one for less than 100€
- Learning how to tailor a shirt so that it fits you doesn't take more than a couple hours
- You can save a LOT of money: I buy my shirts for 1-3€ (made out of good material of course, I discard the ones which aren't durable)
- The tailored shirt will fit you much better than the ones from the shops

A cheap shirt, made out of very cheap material, can be found for something like 15€ in a shop. If you want your clothes to be durable you'll have to spend much more than that.

You can clearly see that you can get even with your investment in the sewing machine after buying just a few clothes, all the rest is earned money.

Oh, and if you're one of those who feel guilty as they drive around all the time and consume too much over all, you could trick your conscience into believing that tailoring your own clothes will drastically reduce your pollution footprint and thus that you're saving the world, unlike all those other idiots who don't.

I'm not really in mathematical stuff, but when I have to solve some problem I always use pen and paper

@torresjrjr
Isn't it better to store it in a artist/album directory structure and then have a separate file, maybe a spreadsheet, containing the date in which you downloaded the album?
This seems more flexible and searchable to me, moreover you might add comments on the albums and stuff like that

As member of Climate Feedback, a group of fact checking climate scientists, I had a chat with the ZAPPA project, who are building a Fediverse fact checking system.

Some interesting findings from user research for the Zappa project (so far!) bonfirenetworks.org/posts/zapp

Working with Climate Feedback is much more effective than writing a post as they help spreading it. But still the lies are spread much more than the debunking. While the flags are up when most people already read the lie.

This is the big problem of people not providing sources

That one I do know, but now without Mensheviks and Bolsheviks it makes little sense hanging it on my wall.
It's a nice one, but not my favourite

Preliminary sketch for a poster

A wonderful painting, I should try copying it to see how it turns out, I don't really want to buy a print...

Someone has been in Cartagena, Spain?
I've never been there, spent a night sleeping in the streets of Murcia and I hated that city.

I'll go there to visit a friend of mine and maybe I'll move there, I've been told I can get a room for 150€

Alright, I installed the application fedilab and everything seems to work correctly with this one.
I guess I can now fully transfer my old account here

Shakshouka for lunch. I decided the cumin in my last version was overpowering, so I omitted it here and went with my Italian roots. Onion, bell pepper, diced ham, egg, tomato sauce, mozzarella, brie!, salt, pepper, and basil.

@tomasino
Looks great! I love shakshouka, but being Italian I dislike having a bunch of different stuff in there... In the end I generally add the vegetables I have on hand and maybe some basil...

@Placholdr I find youtube very informative and useful to learn new skills, but of course you should use it with that in mind.
If you don't I guess it could become a huge waste of time

@unabomber I see no problem with this. I agree, bosses shouldn't give any raise at all.
Employees should just keep cashing in the pay and go work somewhere else during office hours.

@BenDeGhooz Really? Damn, I was really convinced people in America ate eggs and bacon for breakfast

@fanta El nombre Italiano es Sedano Rapa. El gusto es muy simila a ello del apio. Se puede cocinar en la misma maniera del apio. Me gusta mucho porque se puede conservar por mucho tiempo.

@amapanda Open the relation list in the side pane (Alt + shift + R) find the relation you're interested in and double click on it.
You can then minimize the relation list
