No cats were harmed for this video. Except the harm that is being done by AI datacenters.

It's called the block function for me.

Yeah, it's crazy. If you are interested, Alyssa Grenfell on YouTube is an ex-mormon on YouTube telling about her experiences.

Mormons have to pay thousands for the privilege of being door to door salesmen though.

That episode was amazing. Optional illustrations could have added value, but I can imagine they are a lot of work to add and a potential copyright nightmare. And podcasts are an audio first medium, so I totally understand not adding them.

Either that or live on camera in an embarrassing and undeniable way.

The US navy preferred radials because they are air cooled. Lacking a liquid coolant system they were more reliable and less prone to damage. The US army air forces generally preferred liquid cooled engines for fighters as they have better aerodynamics.

The custom built hardware for ai datacenters is unfortunately incompatible with regular PCs.

Well, these don't have a pilot to dissolve, so that's already one specific unpleasantness gone. But you can tell it doesn't have the original fuels since it is not exploding.

Plus the biggest proponents of nuclear tend to be the same people downplaying or denying climate change a decade ago. They were clearly wrong then and now I don't trust them to bring a solution now. Because they probably are still serving the same interests.

That 49,5% in NL is the top bracket for income from labour. Billionaires get their income from their assets and there are plenty of ways to lower what they need to pay. Unfortunately.

Great shot! It must be amazing when you can pull off the shot you have been planning it for some time.

It's a really weird site and account, fully AI generated. The website lists an ordinary residence, where also a dodgy alternative 'medicine' practice is supposedly located.

And that is the point. Cycling here is just a safe, convenient, cheap and healthy way of travelling. If you make it less convenient, by mandating helmets for example, you will push more people into cars. Making traffic less safe overall and cities less livable.

Please compare bike usage and casualty numbers between our countries before you get all judgemental. And yes, it took us a long time, since the 70's, to get where we are. And without our infrastructure I wouldn't bike without a helmet. In fact I'd probably not bike at all.

Nee hoor, woon gewoon in NL. Maar bijna alles op bluesky is voor mij in het Engels. Dus als ik ineens Nederlands tegenkomt is het net zoals wanneer je op vakantie bent in het buitenland.

Grappig om onverwachts Nederlands te horen. Net alsof ik op vakantie ben ;)

Former F1 driver (and 4 times champion) Sebastian Vettel from Germany. No idea why there is a gun photoshopped in his hand.

Putin is far from a communist. Current Russia is more an ultra nationalist autocracy. And the current US regime is steering their country in the same direction rapidly.

Why are you sharing ai slop to a post that is calling out ai slop?

Rienco @rienco.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
See, you are thinking critically. You are not supposed to do that. Just accept the machine slop and let that brain atrophy away.

The very first peppers that I harvested from my own garden. But certainly not the last.

Here in The Netherlands tipping is usually just rounding up to a convenient round number. And it's never expected. They are trying to introduce adding a percentage to payment terminals, but the general reaction to that is anger. It doesn't help that eating out is already very expensive.

I know the feeling. First time grower, it feels my cherry tomatoes are taunting me for weeks now.

It runs on the steam deck, with pretty low settings. Haven't tried it much or with big factories as I am just too used to control it with mouse and keyboard.

This probably means she sees the writing on the wall and is abandoning the pro russian ship like the good rat she is.

I missed a perfect opportunity to provide a comparison picture of our boy when he was a pup. Allow me to rectify that mistake.

Those paws are too massive to be a labrador pup imo.

It's a protection mechanism of the brain. Instead of accepting the blame yourself, it is much easier mentally to double down on your existing beliefs. It's literally cult behaviour.

I'm against a blanket ban of social media for children, mainly for the online identification hornets nest. But a ban at school seems like a no brainer to me.

It is insane that the media don't confront him with this point every chance they get. Insane, but not unexpected unfortunately

A couple of years ago AEG pushed a firmware update for a different device to some of their ovens, bricking them in the process. If you were affected you had to wait for an engineer to come over and fix it. We have one such oven, I fortunately never connected it.

You'll grow sick and tired of it in a few bites so it will be hard to eat enough of it.

That is not accidental, that strategy is called starve the beast: sabotage (parts of) the government by spending cuts and mismanagement so people start to notice the bad performance. Only to then abolish that part and preferably hand it over to 'the market'

Yup, it is all that plus fox news, first past the post voting system, money in politics, woeful state of education and more. The whole system is rotten.

Liberalism is a right wing ideology worldwide. Our VVD party here for example calls itself proudly liberal and loves to use any left wing policy as a boogieman for their supporters. It's just that the US has a de facto two party system and the only other choice are even further right loonies.

Apparently they aren't posting new material to YouTube anymore because of the netflix deal. It would have been nice if they would have announced that on YouTube.
