How long do the people not revolt when it becomes more and more obvious that the rich have captured the tools of a democratic republic and turned it into a vacuum that hoovers up the wealth the poor generate and directs it not to public goods, but to the wealthiest people on earth?

Americans: I use miles and pounds

Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms

Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'3, I weigh 150Ibs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and | drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

@davidmortensen Thanks a lot. I will do that. I am just surprised the reviewer thinks a morphophonological pattern is an argot because it involves a phonological strategy mostly found in language games around the world.

A reviewer suggests that a morphophonological process in my native language is outside of "normal grammar". The person even suggests that it is an argot. I don't even know how to react to this.😕

The world is silly, but I save $10 or so by ordering 50 circuit boards, not 5, even then only having 5 assembled. So I will throw away 45 circuit boards as a result. How stupid is that. I'll put in the box of old boards incase anyone wants.

if our computers can get away with saying they shut down “because of a problem” i think the rest of us should try this explanation for our behavior as well

it is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you that the tech bros have invented sails

To lighten things up, here’s the vintage Alan Rickman action figure I bought yesterday.

Hej elektryczni Fedisie!

Zrobiłem drucik do cięcia styropianu. Działa! Podłączam do lab zasilacza ustawionego 12V/2,2A C.C. Jak odpalę to napięcie spada do 2,3V.

No tylko taki zasilacz to overkill i upierdliwość.

Jak wygląda najprostszy regulator prądu/napięcia który zapnę do zasilacza 12V/3A i dostanę płynnie od nie wiem 2W w górę. Prosty bo to przecież tylko drucik. :D

R drucika się może zmieniać z kolejnymi drucikami!

Ktoś, coś? @MaladictusSgrAStar

Greetings.

You know, you hear about BIRD FLU and the risk of spread, and how someone seemed to care?
Well, I saw two dead crows, one very suspicious, without injury, on a neighbours lawn, and tried to call the number listed to report it, and they had no idea if the collected such info? We are not getting all the #Government services we pay for!

I've lots of crows, we're friends. But they saw me carry their fallen comrade away with gloves on #Target

Government press release about the #OnlineSafetyBill :

Looks like the hideousness of #AgeVerification might become explicit, for web users in the UK can expect even more irritating banners,, people being asked to turn on their cameras / being locked out for not having a camera, blocks from sites which find it easier to exclude people from the UK, and scams about age verification / submitting photos / government ID.

Happy Friday everyone!

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who use AltText to add descriptions to your pics and media. As someone who used to be able to see but has been blind for over 30 years now, it allows me to see the pic in my mind and is greatly appreciated and allows me to enjoy them.

Another heartfelt thanks to those who use #CamelBack in their hashtags. This makes it so much easier to understand with a screen reader and for those who read print as well! ❤️

Alright so last night I said hey folks, I'm 40, dyspraxic as heck and can't draw, and it bothers me, pls recommend me a beginner-friendly course, and drawabox was recommended among others.

Started it today. Dude's telling how to draw smooth lines that don't wobble; use your whole arm not your wrist, practice each stroke first to build muscle memory, put your eyes on the end, do the whole thing in one constant motion at one constant speed and don't think until you're done with the line, I nod along and go alright and give it a try and ffs this is welding, this is literally MIG welding, it's also how you spray paint and clearcoat, it's how you brush polycrylic onto wood, and I've been drawing crappy wobbly lines my whole life because no bugger ever told me "Hey Dan why don't you try moving the pen like you're spraying lacquer onto a pinball playfield."

Still cannae draw, but at least I've figured out how to do straight smooth bloody lines with a pen, wish I'd put two and two together ten years ago
