Best gift ever

I've been giving a friend of mine pool lessons every week. She recently went up in rank because she's been practicing all the drills she's learned like mad. The other day she ran a 3 ball drill. All 3 positioned in order without the cue ever hitting the other balls. She also owns the local Lego resell shop. It's a very thoughtful gift that refers back to this post: https://mltshp.com/p/1RC3C

jwz's cards

two stacks of cards, showing front/back of a red card with white text.

front: (all caps, large) Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"
(all caps, small)You Make Me Long For The Sweet Embrace Of Death

back: By using AI, you have given a pass to

* the staggering climate and ecological impact
* The outright attack on labor by capital
* The systemic disregard of consent
* The basis in wholesale theft and plagiarism
* The assault on the very concept of objective truth
* The enrichment of the most cringe billionaire fascist motherfuckers the world has ever seen

There is no ethical use of AI

If you ignore all of that, you are trying to negotiate what level of harm to others you find acceptable for your personal, selfish benefit. You advance the agenda of these hollow-eyed joyless money-ghouls who resent art, creativity, and life itself.

The machine is disgusting and must be destroyed

a young 18 year old boy was killed in the basement of a house in France by an artillery shell. That boy was my Great Uncle George and I've only recently learnt his story. It's a sad one, but it has some lovely bits too.

That's him in France, likely near Villers Bretonneux.

He was known as the Baby of The Battalion, so once I read that little titbit I had to know why and learn his story. I've been researching him for the past month or so and I've written down some of it here if you're keen

Local road crews haven't been changing the default passwords on the control panels for the mobile traffic information signs.

for some reason, writing in these li’l guys makes songwriting happen much faster. (@jessamyn sent a whole pack of ‘em to me a while ago, so thanks friend!)

been both deconstructing older songs and working on new songs lately; made some progress during an internet outage the other night.

this could be appended with a rant about how i’m so burnt out at work, burnt out with the algorithmic hellscape as a whole, and tired of everyone around me going whole-hog on LLM-injected everything, but i’ll save you the wrath for now

love the field notes option. Personally as someone TOO adhd, always with tiny notebooks and tiny pens and crumpled notes and sharpie on my forearm, I FINALLY found solution for me - one of these fancy modern smartbooks that's just black e-ink. I'm actually completely shocked it's been working out for me, but i've been 3 months without a tiny note in my pocket and I'm never going back. Likely not the solution for you, but DAMN when tech actually can solve a problem.
nikkuneko pro 16 minutes ago
@minimumsafedistance it's awesome that you found a solution that works for you! i have been curious about those e-ink notebooks lately, as someone who does like actually writing notes with a pen (or stylus of some kind). which one did you end up getting?

I have a friend who got an electric motorcycle a few years ago. It was so weird to see him get on it and it silently pull away.

People I know who ride motorcycles don't want quiet exhaust because it makes them even less noticeable by other drivers. I am curious if the electric motorcycles have worse safety records than internal combustion.
grantbarrett pro Yesterday
People who drive by my house don't want a quiet exhaust because it's part of their identity to be loud, to disturb the surroundings, and to be noticed. Late-night packs of riders aren't worried about much of anything except cops and maybe not them. I estimate that in a few-mile strip near me, every time they ride, their clamor affects more than 20,000 people.
urlnotfound pro Yesterday
@grantbarrett I don't associate with people like that. I am curious to know if quiet motorcycles are more dangerous to ride. If not, I believe we should end the various exclusions motorcycles have from exhaust noise laws. I don't ride motorcycles and wouldn't object if they banned them outright for health and safety concerns.
1f2frfbf pro Yesterday
@urlnotfound As s motorcycle rider of 20 some years, in my experience exhaust noise has zero bearing on safety. For one, exhaust noise only goes behind the rider, so it is only heard by people who can also see you. If you are concerned about safety on a motorcycle, you'll spend money on gear and skill classes, not pipes. People who say otherwise are lunatics with fragile egos.
homerj 23 hours ago
Yea, "loud exhausts are necessary" was just the asshole crowd's justification for their annoying exhausts.

Note that these folks also tend to be the ones not wearing helmets and riding with a t-shirt.

rogrtheshrubber pro 22 hours ago
"exhaust noise only goes behind the rider"

Are you riding faster than the speed of sound, perchance?
mare pro 22 hours ago
Modern cars (SUVs) are so well insulated against outside noises that emergency vehicles (ambulances) often ignored because they can’t be heard.
mare pro 22 hours ago
Sound is important though. I ride an electric cargo bike and I have a big chunky chain in the box that rattles, so I make noise and don’t have to ring my bell if I want to pass slower cyclists on bike paths. If they don’t wear headphones they are aware I’m behind them and don’t get startled too much when I pass (at reasonable speed, I don’t ride very fast).
Just like electric cars that also generate ‘engine noise’ at lower speed to warn cyclists and pedestrians. Some brands of cars have really annoying ones, despite hiring movie score composers.(Hans Zimmer for BMW.)
1f2frfbf pro 22 hours ago
@rogrtheshrubber Fair point... swap "mainly" for "only" and I stand by the statement. Sound goes everywhere in an atmosphere... but when you build directional sound cannons, it has a primary vector.
pk pro 8 hours ago
If sound is important, then a motorcycle could/should be just as loud as a car. If safety were tied to volume, cars would also be getting louder and louder.
mikenmar 6 hours ago
In my old neighborhood (Oakland), there were plenty of cars and motorcycles that were all loud as fuck. Unfortunately, it wasn't a very safe place to drive...

Where I live now, it is incredibly quiet by comparison. It's not the countryside; it's a midsize city. But the vehicles are quiet, and people drive safely. It's remarkable how much this improves the quality of life.

The window itself is framed with red paint, clearly not professionally done. Above the window is a heavy metal pipe hanging from the ceiling. Placed on the windowsill is a row of books. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

For those interested in Large Format photography (there are a few of us on here) Intrepid made this amazing interactive page that allows you to search for various lenses and check all sorts of stats for them. Previously all this information was stored in spreadsheets and somewhat dispersed.

RIP 1976 Dates

My late father brought home this bag of dates from a trip to Israel in 1976. It has been in the fridge since then. My entire life they lived in my parents’ fridge. Dad’s been dead more than two years now, and still they stayed in the fridge.
But Mom’s selling the house and one of the last things in her final clean out & pack-up was to take this pic and throw ‘em away.
A great story, and a picture will work just as well as the actual bag to tell it.
