You should watch this Brit restore a massive machine hammer. And the guy's name is Steele. How's that for nominative determinism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5le...

@hankgreen.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I no longer "like" YouTube vids because I'm no longer logged in. YouTube went absolutely insane with ads so now I use a browser with ad blocking that I only use for viewing youtube. I want them to see that the views on my account plumeted.

If you want to know why the stock market continues to grow at a rate that drastically outpaces the general economy, the answer is stock buy backs. The problem is there's not an unlimited amount of stock so this can only go on for so long.

I'm strongly considering spending $750k-$950k on a Cirrus SR22 or a Beechcraft G36 Bonanza so I never have to deal with airlines ever again. Side note: No I do not have pilots license.

In the mid-90s I ran a small business very reliant on receiving phone calls. I got a second phone line that was on my business card as the fax line. I did receive faxes occasionally, but its primary purpose was so I could be on dial-up and still receive phone calls on my business line.

Everything is a scam now. Very disappointed that Delta is joining the race to the bottom.

The only good thing to come out of the dipshit Odyssey discourse is that at one point I commented “if we’re worried about accuracy, then Jason Mantzoukas should be playing Odysseus,” and now I can’t get it out of my head 😄

Impressively-Greek-looking Mantzoukas with long, wild hair and crazy beard, wearing a leather jacket and laughing at something off-camera.

Well CRAP. I really liked LG... but now I'm never buying their products again (just like Sony.) FYI, even if you have an old LG monitor it can still install malware. You can disable that feature in Windows registry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ue...

This kind of "evil" punk look comes straight out of the late '80s. I would imagine it's why it was selected. Jason's emo-harley look is more 90s. At any rate, it feels like they're pushing the nostalgia stuff pretty hard.

I just upgraded one of my three solar arrays. SUPER easy too. Old array, 12 panels, 285 watts each, 10 years old so really probably about 250 watts.

This is your reminder that we have PLENTY of land, esp in California, on which to build solar. Solar over parking lots, over water, etc, is twice as expensive to build and service.

OMG "Microwave time. set it to 99:99 like once a month, and then just press the start button and let my heart decide when it's been long enough. Then just open the door to stop it, and leave the rest of the time on the clock for next time. I get like 50+ uses out of the one time setting it to 99:99"

In 2024 Trump ran literally the worst presidential campaign in history. This nation still voted for him because they couldn't fathom having a black woman as president.

If you want to know why canvas got hacked, it's because the company that runs it is owned by private equity. When private equity buys a company, they always cut IT budgets to a bare minimum.

Steven Swenson @ctigeek.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Oh FFS... 1. avg US car price is high because we sell (and buy) a lot of expensive cars. Cheap ICE car == Cheap Chinese EV. 2. Most cheap Chinese EVs are GARBAGE (even if they look nice) and will not come close to passing a crash test. I'm not against EV imports but they have to be safe.

It cost me $177 to renew my driver license today. Requiring certain ID to vote without making that ID easy, accessible, and free is 100% a poll tax.

Hey @bsky.app Putting a hyphen in the 2FA code prevents me from just double-clicking the text to highlight the word, which would make it much easier to copy. Thanks.
