[12:02] Met paar kleine aanpassingen 220 euro besparen. Dit zijn de grootste ‘sluipverbruikers’ in huis

Nederlanders kunnen aardig wat besparen op hun energiekosten door te kijken naar de grootste sluipverbruikers in huis. Dat zijn apparaten die ook energie gebruiken als ze op stand-by of ’uit’ staan.

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Some days, I got nothin'.

Or at least feel like I do.

In truth it's never true even if I tell myself it is.

One positive thing. Every morning. Day after day.

Relentless.

Just one small thread to hang a day on.

I write it down and send it out to the world.

And in the doing, I find something positive. Sometimes hope. Sometimes peace, in 500 characters or less.

Even on days I got nothin', I have that.

I hope you have something, too, #today



A Rare Sighting of the Pelican Eel...

The pelican eel's most notable feature is its large mouth, which is much larger than its body. The mouth is loosely hinged, and can be opened wide enough to swallow a fish much larger than the eel itself. The lower jaw is hinged at the base of the head, with no body mass behind it, making the head look disproportionately large. Its jaw is so large that it is estimated to be about a quarter of the total length of the eel itself.

Next week is a staycation for me.

So which hobby project should I do?

These are three things I'm weighing equally. So I'll hear the wisdom of the crowd.

Either way you'll all be hearing about it 😅

And yes, it's a vacation, so I'll be doing plenty of downtime. I just also enjoy making stuff. 😊


So, practically. If Canada were to join the EU, what steps would be required? We'd obviously need to apply, like other countries. Certainly greater presence in Brussels.

Would we need to adopt the Euro? I'd think so, but not sure if that is a good idea.

We'd have to upgrade a lot of our standards

It is called Enlargement. Seems appropriate for the era we are in.

A simple 3-step process - Candidacy, Member Negotiations & then Accession.

Who doesn't want accession?

My jointer restoration project, still sitting at the old place. Paused for now, but not forgotten. Was in the middle of this when we finally found the right homestead.

Need to make space for it here first. Preferably with a foundation, so I don't have to move it again.

And then find about six strong elephants to help me load it onto a trailer.

Problems for another time.

I've been filing bugs to improve Mozilla's crash reporting infrastructure so it's easier to see at a glance if a particular crash affects only a specific CPU but also if only some microcode versions are affected.

I said it before but I'll say it again. I would have never thought that CPU bugs would have become an everyday occurrence, but here we are.

in reply to Gabriele Svelto

But by all means, keep pouring capitals into "artificial intelligence" while the very foundation of computing is falling apart and we can't trust a machine to execute instructions reliably.
in reply to Gabriele Svelto

Doesn't AI level the playing field, then? Regardless of whether your CPU is reliable or not, you have 40-60% chance of getting nensense.
