Beim heiligen St Marudor: Zug, ich befehle dir, erscheine!

Schnee??! ❄️

@HG @adhdeanasl

I TAKE IT BACK!

Only joking. Hope you are marvellous. 😊

@hembrow While at uni, I used to work at a self-help repair shop for students.

A lot of people came in with bikes like these. Most of the time, we could send them home with everything fixed, for under 10€ in parts.

This being Germany, a lot of them had Torpedo 3-speed hubs. Those were mostly indestructible; and if something did break, they were reasonably easy to take apart and fix.

@kupaye So true! 😂

Once in Guatemala, I walked up a path towards a big church. The wall on the side of the path had a bunch of niches for figures of saints etc.

At least one of the niches had a lot of scorch marks and a sign saying “No sacrificing chickens here”

@tiny_m if “winning at life” == “not dependent on a constant stream of US news and celebrities”, then yes.

@davep For sterilizing a batch of glasses and related kitchen implements, we usually just use a big pot of boiling water.

Use barbecue tongs to put stuff in and take it out.

Scanned the top 200 Bluesky Posters. There’s exactly two among them I‘m missing here:

Carole Cadwalladr, and dril.

@ettercat Uh oh.

Ich drücke dir die Daumen!

Vlad is out there fucking with my hosting 🤬

@neil This analysis brought to you by my uni flatmate 20+ years ago.

We talked about the magazine market. I said “there’s all these women’s magazines, why are there so few men’s magazines?”*

She replied “all those ‘general interest’ publications? They’re essentially men’s magazines.”

And thus I was enlightened.

* leaving aside porn

@neil In practice it’s easy.

March 8 is International Women’s Day. Throw in another day for enbies & others, and as long as patriarchy is alive and well, you’ve got 363 Men’s Days per year.

@lrhodes @Wraithe @divdev Yep. To understand where an organization might be headed, always look at the money flow first.

Then the technology. And only then look at the people — those are easily exchanged.

Guten Morgen ☀️

IT pro-tip:

Network printers work better when they´re on the same network as the computer you´re printing from.

Ask me how I know.

@welshpixie Urgh. Sending consensual cyber hugs.
