Cigarettes are a lot like squirrels. They’re both perfectly harmless until you put one in your mouth and set it on fire.

Shoutout to @hildabast, scientist and writer, for her ongoing and patient study of science during this pandemic, particularly her summaries of vaccine trial results.

I can't afford wiper fluid so I have to carefully pick the time for the daily drive to the village store for that bottle of whisky so I won't go blind.

#today spent most of my time hauling water for the veggies. All of the storms that blew through yesterday missed us completely so we are getting seriously dry again. Everything is holding up pretty well, so far. Also had time to "hill up" the first planting of sweet corn and the second planting will be ready to go out in a day or two.

#Rewilding = more wildlife, more jobs, more food being produced, massive improvements in soil health, reduction in pollutants entering the Solent. What’s not to like…

Letztes Jahr hat die Vogelgrippe oder welcher biologische Sinn der Natur auch immer dahinter steckt, die Kolonie der #Basstölpel auf #Helgoland zu hunderten in den Tod gerissen. Ein grausamer Anblick, den man nicht mehr vergisst.
Dieses Jahr sind sie trotzdem wieder zum Brüten hier her gekommen! Nicht so viele wie davor die Jahre, aber es ist eine wahre Wonne zu sehen, wie neue Pärchen sich finden, neue Nester gebaut werden und neue Familien entstehen. Die #Natur findet immer einen Weg.

Last year bird flu, or whatever biological sense of nature is behind it, killed the colony of #Gannets on Helgoland by the hundreds. It's a gruesome sight to behold and one you'll never forget.
This year they still came here again to breed! Of course not as many as before the years, but it is a real delight to see how new couples find each other, new nests are built and new families are created. Nature always finds a way.

Ready to talk about I2P, policy, real sustainability, and the need for straight talk about funding FOSS for a more sustainable future. Hint: it’s not more hot projects and code. It’s paying for documentation and maintenance.

Even with so many solar panels ending their useful lives, even if we scrapped all of them tomorrow, we'd still not be seeing the same amount of waste as its produced by coal mining each and every year worldwide.

400kg of every tonne of coal mined is waste - not byproducts, waste. In 2020, the world mined 7.575 billion tonnes. That's 3 billion tonnes of waste. In a year.

Here’s some perspective.

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

„Wokulskiemu szło z Łęcką lepiej niż PiS-owi z rządzeniem”

Drogi mastodonie. Potrzebne wsparcie w dziedzinie elektryki/elektroniki, a konkretnie najpewniej diod montowanych w panelach fotowoltaicznych - mój panelik 110W przestał działać. Wobec ewidentnego częściowego zacienienia panelu podejrzewam że winna jest dioda bypass w skrzynce z tyłu panelu. Pytanie: czy wystarczy wymiana diody? Oraz: jaka to właściwie dioda? Gdzie toto kupic? Dorzucam zdjęcie specyfikacji panelu.

You never see time travelers use salt in get-rich schemes, but for a few bucks at the supermarket you can have salt of quality and quantity rarely seen in the ancient world. Show up to feasts and just hand the salt around. Make it rain salt. You'd be able to get plenty of shiny rocks for that.

But no, time travelers always bring gold. Never salt. Despite the fact that "salary" literally comes from the Roman word for salt.

Basically, go back in time, bring salt, exchange salt for worthless trinkets, return to future, make a killing on the antiquities market.

For that matter, show up with some stainless steel. Or what about aluminum? The ancient world would go apeshit over aluminum.

And that's saying nothing of going back in time and being a wizard because you remember a little calculus from high school. Hell, the concept of zero and Arabic numerals would blow their minds when used at the right time.

What about going back in time and bringing refined sugar? You could print your own money.

But no, they always do the boring thing.

Są takie dni, kiedy odkrywasz naprawdę tragiczny #interfejs użytkownika.

Dziś musiałem po raz pierwszy kupić sieciówkę bez zniżki (Wielkopolska nie honoruje nowych RegioKart). Znalezienie właściwej oferty zajęło kasjerce 10 minut.

Widziałem interfejs terminala kasy i to po prostu koszmar. Dostajesz listę kilkuset ofert, opisanych trzycyfrowymi kodami i 2-3 słownymi opisami, które dodatkowo się powtarzają. Było z 10 różnych ofert opisanych wyłącznie słowami "bilet sieciowy", plus kilka "sieciowy imienny". Kasjerka musiała je wybierać po kolei i patrzeć, co się stanie.

Do tego wszystkiego to ekran dotykowy. Więc wstecz, przewijanie palcem całej listy od początku i próbujemy następną opcję.

PS Gdyby ktoś potrzebował, oferta 830 (oferta wg taryfy RAZEM ma 473).

Doing some research and came across this image. For those not aware, curb cuts were first installed en masse after the large number of injured veterans came back from WWII. #accessibility

For example, here are some white space #passwords with 80-bits security. There are 16 white space characters to choose from of varying widths, which means each of these below are 20 characters long, wrapped in quotes:

- "                  "
- "                    "
- "                   "
- "                 "
- "                    "

So, not only are there passwords you can't remember, now there are passwords you can't read!

Did you know: The annual cost of burglary, robbery, larceny, & auto theft COMBINED is $14B—but the annual cost of wage theft by employers exploiting workers is $50B?

Remember this when media or politicians cite crime but ignore the most costly crime of all—corporate wage theft.

We have a nesting bald eagle pair in our neighborhood. We have a hunting scope set up on a tripod on the dining room table to watch the nest.

Isn't that what anyone would do?

It's been a bit over 4 weeks - if the eggs are viable, we should be seeing eaglets soon.

Czy zgadzasz się z poniższym stwierdzeniem?

„Wybierając termin siewu, sadzenia, pielęgnacji roślin lub zbioru plonów wzięcie pod uwagę fazy księżyca zawsze da pozytywne efekty.“
