Yelp is manually reviewing listings and labeling crisis pregnancy centers one by one as a service to its users. In a previous era, this was called JOURNALISM. The Texas AG is suing them for it.

If you're in New York, your next 3D printer will come with a nozzle lock and a filament length limit. Straight to jail for assault-size filament spools.

It is well known that the price of subscribing to leading scientific journals has grown absurdly high in the past decades. Today I learned what it costs to buy a single physical issue of one such a leading journal. It's basically a royal-format paperback book, 234 mm tall.

One issue is £87 or $145 or €114 or SEK 1200.

NHS minor injuries center, waiting in the queue and for the last 5 minutes listening — along with ~15 other people the queue — the reception carefully spell patient's email and password aloud to him, discussing whether to add some special characters, capital letters etc. The latter is certainly advisable but makes little sense if you then broadcast the secret to everyone 🤦‍♂️

There are many people right now replying to an earlier toot I made to @UlrikeHahn saying that mastodon is not difficult to use, this is slightly misinterpreting what I said, but I have no time to reply to everyone. It also made me realise that I'd forgotten to put a link to @ClimateMigration in last week's blog on how to use mastodon.

So now it's updated and I'm sharing the post again as a general reply to all...

Ponad sto osób od co najmniej trzech godzin czeka w kolejkach do oddania głosów w komisjach 196, 197 i 406 w Krakowie. W komisjach nie ma kart do głosowania. Wiele osób w tym moja koleżanka wychodzi i rezygnuje z głosowania. Są zbyt zmęczeni, sfrustrowani przedłużającym się czekaniem. #wybory2023 #wyboryparlamentarne #wyboryparlamentarne2023 #oszustwowyborcze #kraków
