Every CEO letter announcing layoffs lately can be boiled down to basically:
> we never made so much money, and in order to make even more money, we will fire half the company

@thomasfuchs I think they've rebranded it slightly, but it should be this one. You can tell it's the right kind of tape because the adhesive is weak, similar to regular scotch tape: https://www.scotchbrand.com/3M/en_CA/p/d/v000192455/
@thomasfuchs I've had success using washi tape to remove the stickiness, at least temporarily.
I've done this mostly with Nikon film cameras: I cover the sticky regions with black washi tape (3M makes good black ones that match the tone almost exactly) and keep using the device with it on. After a few weeks to a few months, I'll take the tape off and the stickiness will be completely gone, without changing the appearance of the plastic at all.
Electronics soldering hot tips:
- Don't touch them.
Idea: print a bunch of these as huge stickers, go to the google campus parking lot, and stick it to the windshield of a bunch of parked cars.
Are y'all ready for cuteness overload? You better be.
It's hard to pick favorites, as many of my photos turned out pretty good. So here's a few picked to give you an idea of how varied the show was tonight.
Ok I'll post the aurora photos soon, but look at this photo!
A Heron tries to fish under the auroral glow.
@CloudyMrs @andreabroad :ablobscream:
@CloudyMrs oh you will be under the bright red region, enjoy the show!
A friend is sharing bright aurora photos from the middle of Berlin right now!!! #aurora
@thomasfuchs Which is funny because his early books had pretty lukewarm takes (which still made conservatives give him lots of flak). Dude's gone full circle, and is now a foundational part of the shaking-fists-at-progressives camp.
@bonf on a scale from 0 to 10, how much would you recommend torment nexus to your friends and family?
Thinking of setting up a pihole again to ban the entire google domain space just to get rid of those godawful "login with google" banners
@thomasfuchs Oh this reminds me… when I was studying German, many years ago, our teacher told us to pick a German song to try transcribing as a form of immersion, and I naively picked Der Commissar. When I told the teacher I couldn't understand a word in any of the verses he was like: "but of course, he's *rapping*, in * Österreichisch*. Not even I can understand it" (he was German).
Now that’s something I never expected to see: A Canadian pressing of Falco’s 1982 album “Einzelhaft”. I always assumed the original version of Der Kommissar wasn’t a big hit in North America. Naturally I had to buy it, especially for the title track, which is one hell of a bop.

I caught this sequence almost by chance, as I was still setting up my stuff. What a lucky catch! Is that maybe some type of goby fish?
Between the Embraer acquisition debacle and the shoddy launch of every single aircraft they’ve designed in the past 15 years (787 batteries exploding, 737 MAX falling off the sky, 777X delayed again; to name a few), Boeing is working hard to destroy every little shard of trust built by their workers in the past decades, all in the name of unfettered profit. Might as well sell the company to some petrodollar sheik, it will fit the company’s new operating model.
