Enjoying the great vista of the Fedisphere.

    Okay, little one

  • Looks like needle felting. Seriously cute.

  • Loved the quote at the end…

    One figure who won’t be sad to see the council go? “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane. He said in a 2008 interview with the Advocate magazine that being on the receiving end of the council’s criticism was “like getting hate mail from Hitler.”

  • Nope.

  • And thus missing the entire point as it’s a Norwegian thing, the peace prize.

  • Buy rings that have at least two, preferably three break points. Love titanium, have had to break it off a finger (thankfully nut free)after a motorcycle accident, glad I sprung for the option with three break points.

  • Holy shit.

  • Yep. I love the way Uppsala has done, with recycling chutes above garbage bins. I’ve only seen this done on Södermalm in Stockholm, really wish for this to be implemented everywhere. I did send a proposal for a cheap solution above garbage bins in the subway to SL 20 years ago, never did receive a reply.

  • Works very well in Sweden, to the extent that it used to be popular for youth sports club members, pensioners and homeless to scour garbage bins and recycling containers for aluminium cans and PET bottles. Nowadays it’s frequently Roma here on three month stints that do the scouring, but still good nonetheless.

    Anyhow, we recycle over 87 percent of plastic and aluminium drinks cans and bottles in Sweden.

  • Put this in nocontext

  • Thank you.

  • I have (had) two relatives succumb to dementia (Alzheimers) before they passed.

    In one case, that person reverted back to the memories which were at the time of my early childhood. We reconnected in a way that shed off the later traumas for both of us, and while I still could not love that person, I appreciated them for who they were (or thought they were) at that time. And I could grieve their passing.

    The other person was pretty much dead to everyone anyways, so yeah, once their memories were gone, they were already dead before their mortal coil passed.

  • The prize is well deserved, and being hiking off grid is such a good self care mandate.

  • Nowadays, it can be a lot of other polymer compounds reinforced with carbon fiber, but silver (or GOLD!) spray can make it go a few inches longer.

  • ImageMagick?

  • 3D printer owners, unite!

  • Shaun of the dead.

  • That’s really clever. I’ve been cutting wipe cloths for oil and grease spills from old kitchen towels, but they aren’t as pretty. Inspiring.

  • I absolutely hate planaria. shudder

  • So…

    1. Do you always have deadlines?
    2. Do you have time to have breaks (preferably with coworkers), at least two separate apart from lunch (one before lunch break and one after)?
    3. Do your coworkers always talk about work during those breaks?
    4. Bathroom breaks do not count, and you shouldn’t anyhow bother colleagues with feelings during bathroom breaks.

    For 2 and 3, yes, it’s normal to talk about emotions and feelings, as long as you’re not overshadowing other peoples need to vent.

    For 1, get a different job if you’re not constantly striving for heart attacks, kidney failures or brain strokes.

    For 4, I was going to make a very dumb joke, but… change work place.
