Check out this #retrocomputing behemoth!

I ate the banana to give me enough energy to lift this #vintage #PC down from the workbench, so CD case for scale.

> Some Android users in Europe are able to buy books through the Kindle app again, thanks to a Google Play program announced in 2022

Not me, as I'm registered in the US.

Eine Frage an die in Deutschland lebenden hier: ist eigentlich das versprochene komplette Chaos durch die Cannabis Legalisierung ausgebrochen.
Man liest irgendwie nichts darüber.

Gibt es Fakten, die Vorteile von Meersalz gegenüber gewöhnlichem Salz beim Kochen belegen? So ziemlich jedes Rezept fordert den Einsatz von Meersalz, nirgends wird aber begründet. Dass es geschmackliche Vorteile hat, bzw. dass man diese herausschmecken kann, kann ich jedenfalls nicht nachvollziehen (bin aber auch kein Feinschmecker, obwohl ich unheimlich gerne koche).

Salz ist Salz.
Die Form und Größe der Körner kann eventuell einen Unterschied in der Wahrnehmung machen, solange es nicht aufgelöst wurde.

I don’t really understand why easyJet pushed a warning to be at AMS 2.5 hours early for security.

M gate security check took less than five minutes (BER was at least 15) and for the same luggage I had no secondaries (body and luggage check on BER).

American recently sent me a message to be 4 hours early at BCN for a flight to JFK.
Result: sitting around in the airport for more than three hours, plus the flight delay.
I wonder if they get commissions from the airport shops.

Friday Links 24-15

This week I enjoyed the podcast with Vitaly Pecherskiy, and the one about improv and presence.

If you like alcohol-free cocktails, the article from The Guardian has a good list, with some weird tricks, like clarifying coconut milk.

FUN FACT:
if you build electronic devices which contain a raspberry pi in them, consider what will happen if one of them gets thrown out.
someone might open them up, stick the microSD card in them into a reader, and open up that tantalizing "apps.json" file which has YOUR GOD DAMN AWS KEYS? IN UNENCRYPTED PLAIN TEXT?

Let me see if I get this right:

A Nazi got kicked out of Nazi party, because he said the original Nazis were not all Nazis. And now other Nazi parties don't want to be associated with this Nazi party, to avoid people seeing them as Nazis.

I went to the aquarium today and there was a guy in a wetsuit pushing a penguin around on a box, back and forth through the water

someone asked why and he says, "yeah, she kinda just really likes riding on the box"

I'm still not over it y'all

In comparing the costs of cars vs public transport, they excluded most of the costs of cars. Huh?!

'Though car ownership usually involves additional costs such as maintenance, registration and insurance, which can increase the total cost of ownership, for this story we only considered petrol and toll costs'

(And PT still came out cheaper)

@pezmico to be fair: many sports are about doing the least of them.
