stolen, obviously

Went shopping. Costco is doing a much better job of hiding supply issues than the local hardware.

That makes sense, of course. The large retail corporation is going to be better at that sort of thing than most independently-owned local shops. But one of the tip-offs is how many slots of the same thing are in those filled shelves and... Costco always has an absolute assload of CoQ10 (whatever that is) but... wow, that was a lot of CoQ10 down that aisle.

A _lot_.

It's not bad yet - except for hand tools - it's just the first hints. But they're both having to do it, and they're both missing stuff I normally would _buy_.

Being a port, we don't really have the truck buffer. Inlanders, that means you've got a week, maybe two?

Are you ready?

oh wow all the anime icon fascists are gonna be _pissed_

jfc that was a dirty chain wtf

good news is I managed to get the right side crank off the bike on my own - and back on - which was a little nerve-wracking but I'm glad to have managed it.

i probably won't do it very often tho' xD

Measured my bike when I got up this morning, I think this'll work

(Idea is to hold an FRS radio to my bike's handlebars via its belt clip, see https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/114419786168836010 )

made a new case back for this very old but not quite old enough to be interesting multimeter

(also took it apart and generally got it back in good order)

you can see the two damaged corners on the old one; what you can’t see is that it shrank differently to the front of meter plastic so couldn’t fit properly anymore

it’s close to an exact duplicate including the sloping sides, but with a textured backside and no feet nubs because those would’ve been a nightmare.

i love 3d printing <3

20 years in prison for mRNA vaccines, like most effective against COVID.

MN Republicans introduce vaccine criminalization bill drafted by Florida hypnotist

By: Christopher Ingraham
April 22, 2025

A group of eight Republicans in the Minnesota House have introduced legislation (HF3219) that would designate certain vaccines and medical treatments as “weapons of mass destruction” and make possessing or administering them a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The legislation ... targets messenger RNA (mRNA) treatments, which include several COVID-19 vaccines. Those vaccines have saved millions of lives...

one of the things I've spent a bunch of time thinking about is fundamental incompatibility between biosystems

so arguably the realistic version of this involves the two humans bringing back Some Damn Thing that destroys Earth's biosphere too

dylan says use this for baking instead of arm and hammer and okay I’ll try it sure but I don’t think I’ll be able to tell them apart
