Treczoks

I bought and installed gallery rails in the living room. We wanted to completely re-arrange alle the framed stuff there, and I didn’t want to turn the wall into swiss cheese. The hooks I’ve bought have been a bit beefy for some things I needed to hang, so I had to put a few of them to the grinder, but all in all this made the walls very neat, and easily to rearrange later.

Been there, seen that, on an Arena browser on a black-and-white X terminal.

Do you have to break your fingers, too, to switch them off?

It was an NI. A Natural Intelligence.

There are tools with which you can drive out the pins. They are only good for straight bands, not the tapered ones (unless you don’t care for the looks).

In a way, this happened to my daughter. She is studying in a foreign country, the courses are in English (not our native language), and of course she is writing all her papers in English, too. Which she is very good at, so the texts are usually perfect from a language point of view. She had already been rated “native speaker” in school although she actually isn’t, and worked as an editor on an English language story website back then, fixing American and British native speakers’ spelling problems).

Other students actually asked her what AI she was using to write her papers. Guess who was seriously pissed…

Apart from 3., I’m in full agreement.

Before browsers even existed, there already was the internet. We had social media (NNTP and IRQ), online multi-user games (MUD, et al.), browsing (Gopher) and file hosting (FTP).

I was introduced to the web and the Arena browser with the words “It’s just like Gopher, but with hypertext.”

Interesting product. Would back it in a minute if it wasn’t for those outrageous shipping costs.

I like scientific cooking. I’m a big fan of Sebastian Lege, who is a cook and food designer, and who knows all the little chemical tricks of the food industry. I wish he would publish a cook book: On the left, a recipe for the dish as made by a professional chef with normal ingredients, on the right the recipe for the same dish as made by the food industry.

I remember one show where he made “Banana Milk”. The banana flavor was made from vinegar, some alcohol, and some other acid…

Just today, I applied one of his ideas. I made a Chinese dish with chicken, and added baking powder to the marinade made from soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, salt, oil, and chili. And it was amazing!

Maybe because this is (still) the more adult place?

A good search engine would be quite important. One thing that annoyed me back on the site that should not be named was that their search engine was completely useless - It was not even capable to find posts where I entered verbatim text of.

Having a good search engine that can actually find a post I was looking for would be a major plus for the fediverse.

The main product line of our company is basically all architectured and programmed by me.

Yep. It really looks funny. You have those stainless steel tubs in shelves with that black pelt of Aspergillus Niger mold growing, and you know the stuff they make will end up in about each and every convenience food product in the world: Bread, soda, pizza, instant soup, pasta sauce - basically everywhere.

Die Frage ist aber: Was, wenn ein heikler Gegenstand wichtig ist? Bei einer Party damals (bei der ich nicht dabei war, aber der Fallout davon machte definitiv die Runde) hat ein Teilnehmer voll in Papas High-End-Musikanlage gekotzt, Schadenshöhe irgendwo im Wert eines Kleinwagens. Man könnte natürlich argumentieren, dass eine Party ohne Musik nicht so weit gekommen wäre…

Wer saufen kann, kann am nächsten Tag auch putzen.

Im Prinzip schon, aber wie putzt man die Brandlöcher aus dem Teppich und Mamas Lieblingsvase wieder zusammen? ;-)

Warte ab, wenn sie als Teenager Parties machen (und vorher dafür sorgen, dass Du währenddessen aus dem Haus bist).

Which would actually a big improvement over Reddit.

If the other parties get their acts together, the PVV seats will not matter.

Bin auch knapp am Bund vorbeigeschrammt. Mit -9,0 Dioptrien war ich noch “Wehrtauglich mit Einschränkungen”. Deshalb musste ich noch den Eignungs- und Verwendungstest mitmachen. Bund: “Was machen sie so?” Ich: “Abi, aber nebenbei verdiene ich mein Geld mit Programmieren, ca. 30 Wochenstunden.” Bund: “Nicht tauglich für EDV-Bedienung”. Das einzige, zu dem ich Taug hätte, wäre Musiker oder Funker gewesen. Halbes Jahr später: -9,5 Dioptrien => Untauglich für Wehrdienst.
