One more time, for the people in the back:

Having fame and fortune does not make you a good person.

If someone rails against the gays, specially if they’re males, their closet is sequined, and full of glitter and feather boas.

That KC kicker stirred the hornets nest with that speech. His “private” life and “past sins” are about to come to the forefront.

Gird your loins. It’s gonna get ugly.

Googled. That's quite the speech! Looks like at some point the wife will leave him and it'll all come out in the wash.

Just an absolutely lovely beautifully written, thoughtful, observational, and character driven book. Really a lovely read.

@futuretimeline I dropped a Seagate HD accidentally and now NO GO. It's stopped working. So no, I don't recommend SeaGate.

@craftygardennz oooh great! Please make sure your dad follows recovery instructions carefully! My mum had knee replacements, and followed instructions to the letter, now it's been 10 years without any problems. Made a big difference to her life. Hopefully it's the same for your dad.

I think this is a Mollyhawk bird - but it's injured, lying at the bottom of Commercial Bay tower on Quay St, Auckland Central. Can anyone help rescue it?

@paulhellyer All good - phone Bird Rescue place, they asked if I could go back check if it was still there - went back, but no sign, so assume some kind soul had rescued it.

I knew it was a seabird but couldn't id it - it's unusual to see them in the city.

Here's a timelapse of yesterday evening's spectacular norwest arch and sunset from Ōtautahi-Christchurch, looking west.

It's made from one photo every 2 seconds between 7:37 PM and 9:53 PM.

Enjoy.

@SustainableSailing oh, of course, induction hobs rather than the traditional gas. Less weight and I guess you could use solar to run the hob?

@SustainableSailing IMPORTANT task of the day. That and a little gratitude for a new day!

I often wondered about the origin of the language construct 'myself and some other people did something'. Why use 'myself' when the perfectly good first person pronoun 'I' would do? Why not just say 'some other people and I did something'? The 'myself' construct seems very awkward and I find it grating. Sounds like someone trying to sound formal/educated but not grokking grammar...

@lightweight The correct phrasing is the team and I.

Potentially a game changer for navigation and other boat systems is the new Raspberry Pi 5 especially with screens combined with cases like this
https://youtube.com/shorts/FcKdSAZFXiM?si=IX4oJpU7C_dXt6pV
The huge speed increase from the Pi 5 coupled with an industrial touch screen & case that will only need a power supply cable connection would make an excellent cockpit system.
Add another Pi5 at the navigation station for planning, monitoring from below & backup. Of course another Pi5 makes a great entertainment & work centre

@SustainableSailing Make that whole system robust as you can and have back ups!

So. I wrote an e-mail to the hasidic-liberal synagogue two weeks ago. They didn't answer so far.

They have no public phone number (anymore), but active social media accounts, which I could contact.
Should I wait? Or not?

This might have been easier two months ago, and I'm afraid something might happen and it will become much harder. I could also send them a membership application, since they offer this publicly. I think it's weird though.

christopherd,
@christopherd@mastodon.nz avatar

@hundertsieben It's great you are being invited. Given current conditions you'll need to forgive them if they quiz you at first - they need to be safe so they need to strictly vet people.
Once you are accepted, just relax. Ask someone to help you - they will - just explain you need help where to go, what to do, they will help you.
Main thing is to relax and just participate to the extent you can. There will be kiddush after - you'll be invited for that. Aim to find 1 person to help you.

Adjacent to my earlier discussion about what a community media centric set top box might look like (and a spiraling backchannel discussion about reviews, endorsements, curation, algorithmic suggestions, and activity streams) is compensation.

We live under capitalism. So long as thats the case, folks gotta get paid so that they can eat.

How do we fund community media production?

We're doing sponsorships for new ellijay television (see the sponsor page on our website) and a bit of patreon. We also sell advertisements, which run infrequently on our live stream, and we sell merchandise.

We could do more if we had more funding, we could get more funding if we were doing more. Eggs chickens etc.

I came across Fito Paez through a Netflix film about his life through to early 90s. The film ends with this song. Love it.
