Yet again a fantastic round of Andor episodes.

Digging out tree stumps is hard. Stupid roots. I had to buy a new saw with large teeth to make it rip better through the very wet wood of the roots. The previous owner had cut off three trees and let the stumps behind some bushes and I created some of my own. I really want a greenhouse there some day and these idiots needed to go.

@adiwan You can use a drill to make holes in a stump and pour acid in to rot the wood quickly and make it easy to dig out, but obviously this makes the wood unusable.
-
@nerthos Thanks. I'll try it with an old bush next to my terrace that will be a cherry to remove. I have a bottle of Hydrochloric Acid and some Citric Acid powder.

I've disposed of my jalapeno plants. They were not in good health, floppy leaves and all-around yellowed and had a silvery layer (mildew?) on the leaves. Despite having flowers in bloom and some growing fruit I went to the decision to get rid of them in case they spread mildew to nearby plants.

Ooof. I'm exhausted after another D&D session being the DM. I had to reshuffle and rework my prepared stuff to make sense with all the content my players have skipped. This time I really tried not to hinder the players with stuff that makes only sense to only me at the time. I tried to avoid hidden mechanics. Anything that only makes sense when knowing all the machinations in the background. If it is not presented to the players or convincingly told to the players it robs them to make an informed decision and thus agency. On the other hand it makes me do more work before the start of the adventure and also between the sessions. Practically I threw out half of what I did months before.

In a moment of 2000IQ clarity, one of the students zapped his phone's charging port with a lighter electric igniter and killed it
Immediately after, he asked me if doing so was harmful for the device

the day Adobe kills the SWF format altogether I am kiwied, everything I do now is layers upon layers of SWFs composited together and I don’t know if I’m capable of learning new ways

I find that the screen keyboard on my phone seems to be more or less of a piece of crap depending on what app or field I'm typing into, but in no case is it unlike trying to speak with one's tongue cut out and jaw wired shut. I hope there's a Hell bad enough for Steve Jobs.

@scribus One thing he did was good: kill off the Adobe Flash plugin. It was a lot of trouble security-wise and performance on PC and especially mobile was atrocious. My HTC Desire Z could run Flash but more on paper than in practical terms. Also this move has eradicated Flash websites. They work now as good as they did back then, not at all.
Despite of that I agree to everything you said. -
@adiwan OK yeah, Flash did need to go, but we still could have kept physical keys!! :p

I've operated an electric chainsaw today for the first time. It went easier than thought. I wanted to use it weeks earlier but the fuse in the electrical box always triggered because the starting current of the motor was too high. I bought a current limiter for this case and now it triggers only half of the time instead of always. The current limiter is just on the limit of the fuse's limit at 16A. At least I can use the chainsaw. Also I have a miter saw that also is kinda trigger-happy, so the bought current limiter is useful for more than the chainsaw.

@adiwan They're pretty nice, but the cable gets annoying sometimes when you're on a tree
-
@nerthos I am not that bothered with a cable. I throw it over the shoulder and it mostly works out. I rather prefer power tools with cables. I am annoyed by batteries not performing as long as I want and by the need to charge them at the most inconvenient times. The only tool I accept being battery-powered is a drill and even that sucks. I have two batteries and at times I was using one while charging the other and constantly swapping them back and forth.

Andor is back. It is stunning that they release the series in batches of three episodes at once. An entire movie so to speak. Peak Star Wars.

I have already used my 4th 1kg spool of PETG filament. I have only two spools of PETG left, one very old and one 1 year old. Already ordered 5 more spools. printing bins for oranization is taking its toll. Still cheaper than buying something off the shelf. I don't have Adam Savage money to buy racks worth of Sortimo cases.

US senator talks about potential WTC controlled demolition congressional hearings, one day after the pope dies. 2025 truly is the year of happenings, I love being alive.

Delving into smaller youtube channels. The sponsor segments are definitely weirder than the ones of the bigger and more established channels. It surely shows the desperation the creators have. A furniture modification/restoration channel that is sponsored by a LED beauty face mask? Questionable meets desperation.

@adiwan As someone who shaves maybe a fraction of their face, maybe once a week, I just laugh at the wasted sponsor money every time I see one
-
@scribus Me too. I shave once a month and wait until it gets itchy. I only have a simple safety razor and an electric shaver. It is sufficient but I like neither of those because my skin is easily irritable. I'd like to permanently remove my beard with lasers but I fear it'll destroy my skin.
-
@adiwan I go the easy route and trim with scissors, then correct with the razor. Should probably buy an electric shaver but eh

Who knew that wooden skewers are hard to find. I went to 4 stores and only one had some. I needed a bunch of them for propping up my tomato plants.

Damn am I going to develop a meme about the various browsers as bars or clubs? Has someone perhaps saved me the hassle?? Am I even going to bother to look?!?

"Inland Empire," in this case. Like the David Lynch film! Only more unreal and perplexing.
