I figured out a simple fix for my turntable's motor hum, and so I'm enjoying this delightful Haruomi Hosono album: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/pacific/1538790131

LT Need to send a fax but don't have a fax machine or even a landline. Anyone have a good tip for faxing these days?

@jackbrewster I've successfully used FaxZero.com a few times in the past. They include a watermark on a cover page, but that's it

Idea: an anti-burglary sensor that turns on a bunch of those extremely bright stadium lights, except indoors, making it literally impossible to see due to too much light.

Mostly harmless and mostly undefeatable.

Stupid cars AND stupid drivers. Why would people pay for this shit (and also, why didn't he hit the fucking brakes 5 seconds earlier?)

There are times (sometimes lasting weeks) where I can bang out a ton of fancy code. I wrote a huge complex thing over the course of a month or two that'll be Tapestry's sync/database. I think it's pretty darned cool and it was complex as hell.

But I'll be damned if, over the last couple days, I can do something as simple as rearrange a few SwiftUI views to make some progress on anything else.

Not because it's hard, but because I just... can't? Brain no worky.

@bigzaphod I can 100% relate. Sometime video games help get my brain going again. Sometimes I have to ride it out. It sucks. But you're not alone!

brunoph,
@brunoph@breakpoint.cafe avatar

@bigzaphod this is another reason I will do my best to never work in an organization that does scrum/agile ever again. My brain is not a ticking clock, reliably ringing every morning at 8am for stand ups.

@hannah and what's crazy is that they're not even the most implausible-looking thing that can fly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlgS6dPhBzc

What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in the field would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet.

I call this series "A Beakful of Bugs"

#birds #BirdsOfMastodon #SongSparrow #sparrows #BirdPhotography #birb

a song sparrow standing up with its neck stretched all the way, as to look around. it is still carrying plenty of bugs in its beak
the song sparrow now hopped around and is standing under a beam of sunlight, looking pretty against the background
the song sparrow flew away and landed on a thin leafless branch. it is hiding its face behind the branch a bit, grasping tight to the branch. it is still holding tight to its delicious snacks

Recurring reminder that whenever you see a sensationalist headline that claims "scientists don't know why", what it usually means is "scientists have not found a conclusive proof of the mechanism, but they have a lot of postulates as to why".

Are y'all ready for cuteness overload? You better be.

baby geese foraging in a grassy field full of tiny wild flowers. a bee can also be seen flying around. overall it's a really endearing scene

If you have a Nikon Z camera, and an AF-S 200-500 ƒ/5.6 lens, you should seriously consider getting the 1.4x teleconverter.

Don't worry about it becoming an ƒ/8 lens. These cameras are too good. I'll post more photos later, but have a look at this one, taken at full 700mm, ƒ/8:
