The Moka pot is brewing.

@dbarros Awesome! Stainless steel or aluminium? What capacity?

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@dbarros Yeah the cup measurement threw me off as well. My wife and I drink our coffee with frothed milk, so a 6 cup for both of us suited us very well. We have a 3 cup too in case only one of us is wanting coffee (eg if I have already left for the office)

5.25" vs 5.5" floppy disks.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

@NanoRaptor the extra 60KB capacity sure was welcome back in those days

Got the Casio watch and it’s much smaller than I remember. Looks stupid on my fat wrist. Need a bigger watch!

@decryption you could consider the G-Shock version of this watch, the DW-5600E (or equivalent). It’s a bit chunkier, but more expensive too unfortunately. The F-91W is pretty slimline.

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@decryption Hmm this watch brand new was about $220 if I recall correctly, so it’s probably out of your budget :(

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@decryption yeah it’s great value if you want notifications on your wrist (I don’t, but I understand why most people do). I bought the G-Shock so I could ride my bike with my watch on my wrist and not worry about smashing it anywhere if I eat dirt.

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@decryption If you can stretch the budget by another ~$20 https://www.amazon.com.au/CASIO-DW5600-1-Black-Digital-Watch/dp/B000GAYQKY?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ANEGB3WVEVKZB

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.

@ma @NanoRaptor I like this one, because most people would wonder what happened to 68050 ;)

@tubetime Wow, a Libretto that doesn’t have its top lid latches turn into splintered brittle plastic!

Totally forgot that I had purchased Regurgitator’s new album “Invader” about a week ago from iTunes Music Store, giving it a listen now. They’ve mellowed heaps from their older Tu Plang days, but this shit still bops.

Just had to ask ChatGPT something about updating some Yoast SEO-specific data for pages in a Wordpress site I am working on at work here, because Googling returns just junk search results now*.

And the ChatGPT response was succinct, and most of all, correct.

    • I’m sure the junk results are due to having the term “seo” in the search query.

This is a similar feeling to when I switched from Altavista to Google search in the very late 1990s. The tool that you were depending on for almost everything on the web, feels like it’s turned to absolute shit almost overnight. The alternative is still questionable, but you can’t argue with the success rates between the two.

Our garden is overrun by snails. It's maddening, they're eating all the carefully grown vegetable plants we're trying to cultivate.

Several plants have been completely destroyed by now.

Only today we removed 50 snails!

@Tijn Aluminium foil to the rescue!

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@Tijn I’m pretty sure copper does, but copper corrodes after a while, aluminium foil doesn’t as much. You could make a border around the garden, or foil the stems of the plants so they don’t climb up.

I haven’t used it myself (I currently don’t have a garden) but my neighbour had snail issues in her letterbox and put a layer of aluminium foil in the bottom of the letterbox and that solved it for her.

There’s also a few other solutions on YouTube along with videos testing their effectiveness.

All you folk out there eyeballing the new Microsoft ARM PC's - remember that you can always donate your old stuff to http://www.computersforacause.charity 😀

@mvyrmnd I have an old Dell Studio 1555 like this one: https://au.pcmag.com/gallery/35034/dell-studio-1555-s1555-4285mbu it’s pretty old (Windows 7 era) and the sides are getting that rubber gummy texture that’s icky to touch. Is this too old for you guys to accept?

@mvyrmnd Dropped it off at Core Roasters just now!

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@mvyrmnd No worries. A bit tight on time today so no treat, but I had no idea that place existed so I’ll definitely be back there soon!

the duct/vent in my wife's study suddenly decided to blow weak (but still hot) air out of it, but the one further down in my study is strong as it always has been - wtf

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@decryption You might have a hole in a duct or a pipe is half-off. That’s happened to me before.

georgeharito,
@georgeharito@mastodon.au avatar

@decryption I went into my roof space once and had to go under a main duct that fed heat to like 3 rooms, and I accidentally pushed a pipe off its connector with my back when I was underneath it. Was a real bitch getting that huge pipe back on the connector. I don’t think they had a lot of tape on there in the first place.

After I got it back on, I added some more straps as well to keep the pipe suspended better between the rafters, they only had a couple at each end of the pipe, causing the middle to sag heaps.

@Tijn I have your entry stuck in my head today (well, the tune at least, as I don’t know Dutch). I say this as a compliment!
