@frameworkcomputer when can we get a framework laptop with a nipple in the middle of the keyboard?

Random musing:

What is the werewolf gut microbiome like? And what happens to it when a were shifts form? (Do humans get copious diarrhoea/purge themselves right after shifting? And what happens to the gut contents if a werewolf gorges on meat right before shifting back to human?) What about parasites in raw meat, eg. trichinosis?

And are xanthine alkaloids (like theobromine, found in chocolate) as toxic to werewolves as they are to canids?

@cstross what happens to pregnant werewolves?

Tempted to write an article headlined "Are LLMs really artificial intelligence?" because... well you know what the answer is.

@ianbetteridge does it count as an article if it simply reads "No."

Reminded by a survey from @sinituulia. I need a new backpack. Mostly for running errands around town, going to the supermarket etc... needs to be durable, with an external mesh side pocket for a water bottle. Big enough to also fit a laptop would be good.

What do people recommend?

@wmd i have an osprey tempest. It's been relegated to my tool bag. The straps don't interact well with boobs...

Very glad I have a hepa filter with a carbon element. It's currently clearing the stink of what ever it was died in my bike bag from the room.

FFS DHL appear to have given up on ringing the door bell and just going for straight to parcel shop. sigh

I thought this flag came from all the glass on the fietspad. But nope. It's a thorn. Not the biggest I've ever removed, but certainly one of the more annoying.

Took a load of paper and cardboard to the recycling point. The simple joy that the paper container has been emptied today. Makes life a lot easier and I don't then have to wander round searching for another container with space.

Wait. If the evening standard is going weekly. What do we put on the chair opposite to protect it when we put our feet up? That's what the free newspapers are for right?

Finally cooking the meal I had intended to cook middle of the day on Sunday. At least this time I've got to it before the ingredients went off.

Finally got a chance to spend some time in my balcony workshop doing some wood work. So far it looks like I've made a pile of wood chips, and a lot of noise. Fun tho.

Note to self. Broccoli cooks quicker if you turn the hob on...
