What a massive load of shite. The fucking smell of boot polish off your breath is disgusting.
Jog on.

32·28 days agoSeems like a good time to take the manipulated odds and go for Harris. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same. Have mine about 18 months. Never once connected to the internet. Great device.
3·1 month agoYeah, got some upset kids here but did manage to find a correct steam
Sorry. 200k people were on that. Scum. Everyday astronaut is the one I’m watching now.
Live stream available here. Apparently launch in 40 minutes or so from this comment:
Edit: that was some dirty link sorry
I did think that. :) It’s just… So good. I hope it never enshitifies. God help us.
For the uninitiated like me:
The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,[1][2] collisional cascading, or ablation cascade), proposed by NASA scientists Donald J. Kessler and Burton G. Cour-Palais in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) due to space pollution is numerous enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade in which each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions.
2·2 months agoJust installed. Looks great. Thank you.
Well I am delighted. €13.1B + the 1.2 in interest represents what will be a bump of 16% of total tax revenue compared to 2023 (€88B total). There are lots of things that money can be used for.

I know, right?!?
I have actually heard about that. Google “gutter oil” if you want some nightmares. They are working on food safety hard though.
Yeah Western China is basically empty. It’s very mountainous and the land is not fertile.
I mean, it’s still a largely rural country
Not so. Wikipedia has a decent article but here’s the crux of it:
By the end of 2023, China had an urbanization rate of 66.2% and is expected to reach 75-80% by 2035
The cities are massive and really densely populated. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are about 90 minutes apart by car if memory serves and account for about 35M people. Hong Kong is an hour south of Shenzhen by train and that’s another ~8M.
I’ve spent a decent bit of time there on a few work trips. Never saw differentiation of eggs in supermarkets (or restaurants). Eggs be eggs.
A huge number of folks are just coming into non-poverty since the turn of the century so it would seem entirely plausible to me that chicken comfort wouldn’t be a thing there just like it wasn’t in the west until comparatively recently and still isn’t for a huge part of the population.
Apart from that it’s really very different culturally. They just view things through an entirely different (and interesting) lens.
4·3 months agoIt depends. I have a ritual of watching a Star Trek series start to finish with my kids when they’re around 10-12. Currently watching Voyager season 5 with my 10 year old and we do savour that intro occasionally but not always. I’d say maybe one in five times we’ll watch it.
It’s a long intro at nearly two minutes but it’s such a good one. Great music, great graphics, super setting.
Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!

You can make nearly all images small enough to upload and still look good without dropping colour depth. There are 3 ways to achieve it basically:
The resizing is usually enough.
The quality reduction is something that google pagespeed focuses on too. For most apps that means choosing a lower “quality” when converting to jpg or saving as a new jpg. 85% of original is good.
If you happen to have imagemagick installed, I have a little script that I use called “resize_to_pagespeed.sh”. The jist of it is this:
I just ran this on a 2.4MB photo (below) and it came out at 186KB. That’s a 13x reduction. Right click -> open in new tab to see it full size.
If the image isn’t square, imagemagick is smart enough to figure out correct dimensions.
