Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 6hOur car has a place in my office. I usually pat her when I leave. Sometimes she claws softly at my hand to indicate "more". Today, she clawed my hand twice, then she gave me a love bite, and then she clawed me twice more. That's most unusual! 000

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 28/09/2026We have a couple of cameras set up outside. Nothing fancy. The app: "We offer AI now!" I'm not going that route, but I think AI could be great for security,… if it works. 000
Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Last night I saw a red flow on the horizon. Fire. Fuck. Luckily, there was no wind. This morning my wife told me a local recycling center had some compost spontaneously combusting. It's September 27 th, and it's still warm. 24 °C 000

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 25/09/2026We got a satellite 📡 internet connection (Musk was not involved). All good and dandy, but the printer didn't want to connect to the repeater. Deep think. The repeater has a whitelist, and the printer isn't on it. I had to connect the repeater to the computer and the internet to solve it. Whew 😅 010

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 23/09/2026There's another meme. "All of Hitler's enablers were prosecuted". Bullshit. Both the Soviets and the Americans captured Nazi scientists and gave them freedom to continue their work. Wernher von Braun was just one such individual. The Germans also created the "clean Wehrmacht" myth. 111

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There's this meme claiming that Hitler didn't start with concentration camps. That's a bullshit meme for two reasons. 1. Dachau concentration camp opened mere months after Hitler came to power in 1933. 2. Alligator Alcatraz opened mere months after Trump came to power in 2025. Same Nazi playbook 200

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Apparently our cousin whistles for his kids like they're dogs. Situation. We're at a local festivity. Hundreds of people around, the kids playing somewhere. He: "I'm going to get the kids" he walks off. He returns without them. He walks off again. The kids appear by themselves. The whistle works. 001

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 13/09/2026When I was on Twitter, I used to debate religious people. A lot. Mostly Christians. There are a lot of those.

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 13/09/2026For Christians, FYI. There are a lot of things made up in the bible. One of them is the virgin birth myth. The first gospel was written thirty years, or so, after Jesus' death. Jesus was supposedly over thirty when he died. There's no way they knew what had happened sixty+ years before. 100

Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I live in Spain and the number of stupidly large pickup trucks on the road is rising. I don't get it. I think that a van is better value for the money. A truck has an open bed anybody can access to steal whatever is there, while a van is closed. It's a stupid fad in my fucking opinion. 011
Hans Polak @athyhans.bsky.social · 13/09/2026My FIL is usually mechanically smart. He used to repair machines himself. Things I could never do. Anyway, we had to tension the chain of the winemaker, and he was going the wrong way. He had the good grace to let me do it. 000
