My brain went “woah, what was a scissor used for for 3k years if there weren’t any paper?”

Then I realized probably for all those hard-to-open packages new scissors come in. Duh.

The minister decided to go public

It almost sounds like he did it preemptively, which he did not. According to The Local

It started with Nyhetsbyrån Järva naming him last week,

and

In fact, the only government confirmation of his identity came inadvertently when the Moderate Party’s deputy party secretary phoned up the editor-in-chief of Västerbottens-kuriren to berate him for publishing the minister’s name.

This reads like they – the local – are afraid that the party secretary will call them too and yell at them.

I thought it was an old post about not being able to marry during covid, my second thought was the dog.

I don’t follow the US politics to that degree, but do they not yet? The Swedish government is collaborating with the far right who considers even half of all people with a single foreign born parent (that is, legal or not, EU or not) to be part of the “replacement” that is, in their view, taking place, and need to go. So it is a kind of a common thing here.

This was very informative.

It would also be of interest to see the formulation of the questions. A lot of the far-right deny that their views are authoritarian or autocratic and just call it “democracy”. I wonder how narrow the questions and how well they can highlight a distiction between e.g. " democracy" (which may include autocratic rule) and “liberal democracy” (which would not include autocracy).

Nature is lazy to such a degree that it will even often stop you from doing whatever you are doing so that it can stop doing stuff. For example, Lenz’ Law

The current induced in a circuit due to a change in a magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force which opposes the motion.

So basically; if you start playing around with magnets and circuits, nature will induce currents in such a way to stop you. That is next level lazy.

I went through some of my papers partially supported by US grants and all of them use a bunch of forbidden words. This is basically pure maths, and you are not allowed to use “equality” as in the relationship between one expression and another is an equality? It is so increadibly stupid. Look:

Most things I’d say is bash, easy just to write a simple task in it. If you have to use some more logic I use python. But python is far from great for it. It is easy for me to run a venv and test the stuff. But “this script should do a cron thing”, “this is an filter for ansible”, “this performs a job here or there”, managing a uniform consistent env for all of it is a mess. Bjt yeah, if it is just pipeline logic, ok that env can be managed.

I used to make raspberry wine. Super easy. Some raspberries, sugar, and yeast. Put it in a barrel, wait a while, get shitfaced.

I got one of those too. I called the customer service to get another path home because of disturbances, and they just have robot answering. The robot started halfway through the call just reading pure json at me, and then said “to get this information as a message press 1” or something. This is what I got:

Here is your journey from undefined to undefined: BUSS 506 towards Karolinska sjukhuset 09:36 from undefined 10:18 arrived at undefined. Link to your journey.

I tripped over a cord once and broke the screen on my laptop. I salvaged the disk for another purpuse. But I got some prime hardware here, it’s got video output, it’s got ram, and a cpu! I used it for my lectures; liveusb with some persistent storage on, put my slides on there and fire it up. Did not have to unplug the normal laptop from my office. Nothing magic really, but some students were puzzled.

Still, if true, when Trump leaves office all of these people must declare that all of this shit they did and said were lies and quit themselves.

If they really do not mean that the US daddy Trump attacking Iran is keeping us safe, and shit like that, then they need to say that at some point, and that is as soon as possible. That would be when Trumps leaves office, if that was indeed the purpose here; to stroke his ego. And if they do, they need to quit, bebause they lied and distorted reality for all of us.

And I don’t think they will. They will instead still defend this shit long after he is gone and with it: another step forward for far-right populism and their view.

It is referencing this movie: http://m.imdb.com/title/tt8772262/

We were moving between countries and could not bring it all. Transporting it would be the big hassle, and we dont need the like maybe some 100€ at most we could get for the stuff, so we put it up for free. Lots of people were bringing candy, store bought and even homemade, for the stuff they were getting. Very nice actually.

Not sure if true, but a Romanian I was working with said that their phones were randomly monitored. At some point his mom and some friend was talking over the phone and they are like “when is the next bus for the town now again?” and the agent goes “they go every 30 minutes today” or similar into their phone call.

I have not seen them in Germany nor in Sweden

I’ve also seen these in Italy. Quite genious.

Such a pain moving from a country where it is the default to a country where it is unheard of.
