Been replacing all the accus in those Blue-Bots. Need to charge them overnight to be 100% ready.

Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.

Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.

Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instance are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

I can't help but laugh at reading this sentence. It's so weird when taken out of context.

Even when you know the context it's still weird. 😂

Another mastodon.social spam attack is underway. They have been silenced yet again.

Totally broken now. Day 2 of trimming the big shrubs and tree. Not 100% done yet but the bin is almost full, so that's for the coming days to top it up until pickup day.
Dad also came along with his chainsaw-on-a-stick to help me out with the high up branches.
The shrubbery and tree look better now. I also found out that the murderous tall needles on the tree are actually very capable of penetrating the soles of my boots. Ow.

Avatar the last Airbender is still a great series. I'm currently rewatching this. Comfort food for my eyes I suppose. :)

Me riding a snow giraffe. Handy, now I can't get stuck in the powdered snow where you can 'drown' to the cold. That's apparently a feature introduced in 1.17, and the giraffe is from a mod Creatures from the Snow.

Managed to find the first Eye of many required to advance in this modpack Legend of the Eyes.

It was nice stumbling upon this thread about some time back and seei g the overwhelming support for this instance from the wider community:

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

Conclusion: It is 90% certain that the accus are worn out and thus the Bluebots aren't responding correctly anymore.

We'll order 6 new accus... and while we're ordering anyway, also a shitton of other accessoires to augment the Bluebot experience. The principal gave us the go-ahead. :D

Just a shame that all educative things are so expensive. But oh well, the school's got a budget for this kind of stuff I guess.

Busy trying to troubleshoot those Bluebots we have. Finally got the right screwdrivers, and currently trying to swap accus around to see if that is the problem. If this is the case, we'll just order new accus.

If a pawn pisses me off by having a tantrum and then destroying a whole stack of a valuable material, then they're getting stripped naked and have to fight a lynx or grizzly bear with their bare hands.

What? You're saying they won't survive that encounter?
That's the whole fucking point. 😒

I am a terrible god.

Kinda got bored with FTB Skies, so we're going to try out some random modpacks the coming time. Will probably check out FTB Legend of the Eyes tomorrow. At least it's not a skyblock-ish pack, as I'm not really fond of those. I want to explore random stuff! I want to spelunk into dark caves and then lose my way when trying to get back up! That sorta thing.

Played Unsolved Case with a buddy and that was pretty fun.

Basically we're both detectives, Ally and Old Dog, who get confronted with a mysterious package. Apparently it's related to an old case that we thought was closed, so wtf is going on? We have to communicate with each other via mobiles in-game as we often won't be in the same locations, and one has to guide the other and vice versa to get through a puzzle.

The prequel is free over at store.steampowered.com/app/208

Definitely considering the full game heh.

Oh jeez, another case of raiders trying to attack my base but my allies suddenly popped up to 'help me out' (read: they totally got slaughtered), while I was already busy lining the edges of my killbox with my armed forces.

So the end result? Double loot. From my raiders and from my allies. :P

Whew, finally finished reading 'Alles is relatief' (everything is relative) by Marjolein Vrijenhoek. No more accidentally reading until way past bedtime because you completely forgot about the time.

Totally not my genre though, but her writing style is just so easy to read. So it was too easy to just keep on reading to see what'd happen next.

Basically a woman with her 2 kids go to a camping in France. She just had a nasty divorce behind her. She just wanted to spend the time with her kids and out of nostalgia because she used to go to a camping too as kid.

So, even though she was not planning to pick up any guys there, she did manage to meet one that she likes a lot. But then something happened and she got confronted with her ex again.

Yadda, yadda.

Like I said, not my genre. But damn, that was an easy read. :P Modern language, written in a way that is easy to relate to. That was her first book too, so I think she's got a lot of potential there.

I really enjoyed the latest issue (#368) of Suske and Wiske, "De Rookburgh Rookies". It's a cool steampunk story and with a bit of AI in it. Was a fun read!

Always a challenge to figure out which Wikipedia page the current mystery page is: cemantle.certitudes.org/pedant

Managed to find today's at least.

I can say I am not really that fond of couscous. I probably should add a sauce or something next time.
