The recent art of Kael just fucking stabbing Jude over and over again while Jude says "quit it" was way too funny to me. It just had 'misbehaving cat continuing to bap something after you have tried to tell it not to' energy. More of Kael just being difficult perhaps?

Oh Kael is a professional at being an annoyance

hey can I tell you something. linux mint just released a big update. I know this because I got a notification telling me the update was available and I could install it if I wanted to. I didn't because I forgot about it, and lo and behold the update did not install itself or even so much as prompt me a second time. later I remembered and looked for it, it took about a minute to find and I didn't even have to look it up. It had a link to the page on what (exactly) was gonna change and was very readable and clear. I clicked the update, it ran a few things, then was like "hey I'm done, the update will kick in when the computer restarts". I went on doing my thing. when I restarted the computer, it ran a few things it normally doesn't and BOOM the computer was updated. I disliked it. the ui on the start menu was slightly different and the remapping software I needed to use my keyboard properly didn't work. so guess what? I went into Timeshift, a utility installed by default (but easily uninstallable!) on the standard Mint installation which saves a "snapshot" of the OS every however often you tell it to (for me, once a day), and told it to revert to my last snapshot. Tells me to make sure I have no unsaved work, then runs some whatever for two minutes and restarts. BOOM the computer is back on the old version, no huss no fuss no coconuts. the old start menu is back (it probs would've been easy to reconfigure it in the new v but) more importantly, my keyboard works exactly how it's supposed to again, just like that! and by the time the next major update comes out the bug in my keyboard util will probably have been fixed. and if it doesn't, no prob! just ^^^^^. or use a different one. or send a request. or find the command that makes it work anyway. less than 10 minutes googling easily.

Hey. Hey Windows users. You don't know how bad you have it.

Urban Hacker Bench (uHbench)

A beautiful and sturdy public/garden bench from a standard euro pallet in 8 easy steps using only common tools. Almost no wood pieces are left out. You could also reuse the nails.

This project is totally free (as in freedom) and follows the principles of OSHW (Open Source Hardware). The first design, released in 2012, was published under The Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license. The actual version (v1.5) is now under the Free Art License 1.3

The removal of seating is one of the primary ways capitalists turn public spaces into places of consumption, rather than socialization, play, relaxation, reflection, etc. By leaving no spaces for people to simply sit and exist, we’re forced to buy things to fill our time instead

It seems simple and insignificant, but reintroducing seating can be a radical act of reappropriation. Plus, they can be a place for rough sleepers, or make bus stops more comfortable, and open people’s eyes to the potential of direct action - it’s your community, and no one should be able to stop you from improving it

And, it’s free! Pallets are easy to find, building this takes like 15 minutes tops with a friend, and all you’d need to buy is maybe some nails. Easy praxis!

[mysteriouskod]

I would LOVE to see benches in more places!!! I have nerve damage in my ankle, and other chronic pain in my lower back/legs that make it really hard for me to go anywhere by foot (despite the fact that I love going for walks) A good walk can quickly become infuriating when I NEED to sit down and cannot find one /anywhere/ The most recent example of this is when I went to PA to visit my partner for Christmas. We took a walk down town to visit his favorite game shop and get some tacos, and half way through the trip I REALLY needed to sit down. I think we walked for about 20 minutes before we were able to find /anywhere/ for us to sit down.

I dont want to have to sit on the ground everytime I need a break, but I’ve done it, and gotten a ton of nasty stares.

We should really start doing this.! I think it would be a lovely idea for everyone, even if they aren’t like me and just want a place to sit to people watch or wait for the bus

[lasesmed]

it was a hard and fun job

and im loving the end result

do note that you are probably gonna fuck up a board or five when doing this, especially if you’re unexperienced with crowbarring, so prepare multiple pallets so you dont run out of parts

[theoutcastrogue]

Ah, I’ve been dismantling pallets a lot lately. (Unexpectedly got into carpentry. Long story.) EPAL aka European pallets are those with the blocks between the boards, and depending on how they’re made, that may be the easy part or the tricky part. Here’s the standard method with hand tools, i.e. hammer (preferably claw hammer) and crowbar, and maybe pliers if the nails are bent:

If you can’t fit the crowbar between the blocks and the boards for some reason, there’s no elegant solution, there’s only brute force. Brace the pallet against a wall, and knock the blocks with a sledgehammer. Like so:

So-called North American pallets don’t have blocks, they got 2x4 boards connecting the thinner ones, and this particular bench design doesn’t work with them. But if you need to, you can take these apart with a small sledgehammer and a few blocks of wood, and you’ll need a claw hammer or crowbar to take out the nails:

All of these really made me laugh, and laughter is a very good thing sometimes. All of the time, actually. Unless you're doing something that requires a still hand or silence I guess.

big fan of when animals creche. Love to see so many fucking babies in one place

[aplpaca]

So a creche in ecology is a group of animals that take care of their offspring as a group. Grouping together like this can help with protection against predators, finding food, enduring the weather, and gives the parents time to "rest", as sometimes the parents will alternate who's being the primary watchers while others get to hunt by themselves for a bit, like a baby animal daycare.

But ye lions do this once cubs each a certain age. A decent amount of birds do it (for example: flamingos and a lot of penguin, duck, and goose species). Gharials (a type of South Asian crocodilian) form creches with hundreds of babies from multiple nests (they lay under 100 eggs each and sometimes as few as 20). Feral hogs tend to form groups of mothers and young like this, and I saw 3 sows and like 15+ tiny babies the other day and they were so cute

But ye that's how you get pictures like these

[tumorhead]

Rattlesnakes will creche!! In some species mature adult females will hang out together (they're friends!) in shared dens and even birth their clutches together. Then one will babysit while the others go get food. Adult females have been seeing caring for their young like shooing young back into the den when a predator approaches. You can watch LIVE rattlesnake den mothers and all their babies on Project Rattlecam!!!!

hello i hope you are having a pleasant day. i would just like to say. i love jude. very much. i love him very much. i would like to buff his chassis until he shines. kael is so very lucky to have such a good bot in his life and every time he’s mean to jude im immediately like yes jude get him back make him suffer. anyway. love you thanks bye <3

Thank you!

If it helps, Jude isn't suffering. Kael really is lucky. Making him happy is one of Jude's directives and that leads to this feedback loop where whatever pleases Kael also pleases him. So if Kael has a positive biometric read while he's pulling Jude's wires, or shocking him with jumper cables, Jude feels like he's fulfilling his purpose.

youtube with ublock origin experience of the 20 second gap between every video on a playlist where youtube desperately throws itself against the impervious ever-evolving uncaring face of the adblocker's wall screaming and clawing and calling PLEASE! PLEASE, OUR AD REVENUE!! DON'T YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS CREATOR? DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OUR WALLETS? AND THEIRS? into the vast and empty sky before the adblocker gently raises one of its many iron-banded arms and flicks youtube away into the void just to hear its wails fade slowly into nothing

[melonisopod]

It's funny when I get the "You seem to be experiencing interruptions. Find out why" popup as if two unskippable 30-second ads wouldn't feel way more intrusive and annoying than a slight delay for a video to start.
