Apple graveyard.
It's not been a great year for apples (or pears). Most of them rotted on the tree. Of the remaining ones, every single one had at least one worm in it.
We hauled 2.5 sacks of the better ones to a fruit press at a nearby village. Got 53 Liters of worm, err, apple juice back. Not that sweet, but drinkable.
We'll be pissing butterflies! Ok, probably just moths.
@Keltounet @hywan I watched my mother progressively (and completely) lose the ability to use her iMac during her final decade because Apple kept f*cking around with the Mac OS X user interface, the way Mail worked, the colour of the window maximize/minimize buttons, and stuff that probably looked trivial to a 30-something UI designer but was deeply disruptive to an 80 something with impaired memory. And by losing that access, she lost touch with friends (via email).
Osobom, które myślą o odwiedzeniu #Polesia, przypominamy, że w tutejszym powietrzu jest tylko niecałe 21% tlenu, a za to prawie 1% argonu. Uważajcie na siebie.
A good friend of mine unexpectedly lost his wife. A couple months later we were golfing together, chatting about nothing. He asked what my dinner plans were and I told him wifey wanted my homemade chili and cornbread, but I didn't feel like stopping at the store. We golfed a few more minutes when he quietly said, “Make the chili."
@PlainSimpleAlex @HoffmanLabs honestly I’d rather my kids end up on an adult website than paw patrol….
Twelve years ago today, a Norwegian neo-nazi murdered 77 people in Oslo and Utøya. His youngest victim was 14 years old.
A month ago, one of the racist bloggers he cited as an inspiration was elected speaker of the parliament of Finland. His party is in government.
In the years since the massacre, we've embraced its ideology.
Last week, Finnish police announced they're holding four neo-nazis who were 3D-printing firearms in order to start a "race war".
We saw Utøya, and decided we want more.
Lol. I hadn't heard this until reading the is BBC news article.
Petition to rename the "Streisand effect" as the "Sandbach effect" for issues concerning the Tories.

Very bad news for wetlands in the US. Globally we've already destroyed up to 87% of the world's wetlands. A significant part of our flood and drought problems are due to this destruction. Yet we're about to make it worse. by Ray Levy Uyeda on Prism Reports https://prismreports.org/2023/08/30/epa-guts-wetland-protections-climate-change/?utm_campaign=Hot%20News&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=272473167&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_rcAs31_A_mkk24pquAkI3zfNmMZqbBNY4rCzQPrFa8Wbid88vp3jThO7QhyXIabcZuvfGw2nT26ABtSy7aR_Lpg0QGQ&utm_content=272473167&utm_source=hs_email
