The Met Office app was really good and a week or so they updated it and now it takes ages to open, has less clear design, and is serving me adverts for bras.

Trumpugees. Vanuit een grachtenpand in Haarlem regelen twee Amerikaanse vrouwen emigratie naar droomland Nederland. Sanchez vindt dat de Nederlandse rechtervleugel nauwelijks zijn tanden laat zien in vergelijking met de Trump-aanhang. 'Het zijn geen taliban- achtige christen-nationalisten, zoals in Amerika.'

Die heb je hier ook, hoor. Ga op het platteland kijken, waar PVV, FvD en SGP groot zijn, Urk, Rucphen. Maar ze zetten niet de toon zoals in de VS, dat gelukkig niet.



Modern technology has degraded to the point where I can't trust my basic digital kitchen scale anymore.

I know I need 200g of oats for 5 portions of overnights and by now I have a good feel for the right amount and it did work out exactly like that. But the scale reported it as 150g, clearly wrong.

I'm now seriously considering looking for an old analogue scale, which would be far bulkier and much less convenient, but at least it would work.

Problem solved. And the solution is very pretty

Apparently it was made in the 1950s, much older than I am, and it’s so satisfying to use, making metallic clunking noises, and it will probably work for the rest of my life.

Oh, and it was cheaper than replacing my weirdly inaccurate electronic scale, thanks to the local second-hand market.

A win across the board for old technology.

in reply to Æ.

I have one of those in the kitchen. Also a beam balance scale with sets of metric and imperial weights. My go-to cookery book is Mrs Beaton and she’s in imperial.
in reply to Æ.

Oh yes they are great. My mum has a similar model. Pretty solid and relatively precise

Thanks, Cindy. I wish the same for you and yours. Greets.


If you hate that transphobic evil little cunt JK Rowling... But were a fan of Harry Potter and would have liked to play the PC game Hogwarts Legacy... But refused to buy it to help her fund her hatred.

Then just know that Epic Games are currently giving the game away for free.

@burnitdown

That's fair... I'm not playing it either... But I created an epic games account a few eyars back purely to get all of the free games they give away.

I now have over 200 games with them... never played a single one of them.

Was actually wondering if I could sell the account to some one for some extra cash. 😆

I hope this person gets their access restored. Then i hope they write the book on how to migrate out of Apple's ecosystem

Yeah. Time to review how you use Apple, Google, and Microsoft cloud services.


in reply to VM (Vicky) Brasseur

@vmbrasseur @bkuhn yeah, lots of nuance here! It's messed up that Apple can lock you out of your account *and* devices with no apparent recourse, but, in the same way many small businesses rely on Meta for marketing to their customers (regardless of their misgivings with the company), Paris' livelihood has relied on Apple for a long time. Late stage capitalism is annoying like that sometimes.
in reply to Matt Cengia

I've not made a false dichotomy as @vmbrasseur suggested.
If Paris were a designer,or architect,or anyone who *didn't* work as a software developer & software development educator, my analysis would differ greatly. Folks like that share no blame for Cook's & Jobs' abusive behavior.
By contrast, Paris spent a career collaborating w/ $AAPL & encouraging others to exuberantly join its toxic ecosystem.
Paris *should* get his data back but hopefully he'll swear off promoting $AAPL again.
