Jest tak gorąco, że nawet WD-40 zmiękła rura

Mała puszka sprayu WD-40 stojąca na podłodze obok drzwi. Cueńka czerwona rurka do aplikowania w konkretne miejsce jest wetknięta w otwór spryskiwacza. Normalnie prosta i pozioma, na zdjęciu wygląda na lekko zwiędniętą i oklapniętą, i opada tak, że jej koniec jest w 2/3 wysokości puszki

Went to cinema today, early showing, mostly empty room (5 people?). CO2 reader not well calibrated, and in backpack, but the values seem... decent. I may dare to do it again.

Graph generated from CSV data in libreoffice labelled CO2_PPM. Bottom shows number of measurements, going over about 3h worth of data. Y axis shows PPM, starting around 500, quickly dropping to a bit over 400 and slowly climbing over time to around 500 near the end, with a quick jump at the end to a bit over 600 when exiting the cinema and going through mall and its toilets.

"Woman elf monster slayer death zombie" sounded fascinating, so I went digging in #DwarfFortress legends mode to learn more about her, and the details did not disappoint 😂😍

In the midspring of 25, Olova fought in The Clash of Conflagrations in The Virtuous Prairies.
In the midspring of 25, Olova was struck down by a cave dragon in The Virtuous Prairies.
In the midwinter of 97, Olova was brought back from the dead by the dwarf necromancer Sakzul Fenceshocks as a death zombie in The Virtuous Prairies.
In the midspring of 98, Olova settled in Fencetempts.
In the late autumn of 100, Olova protted to infiltrate The Iron of Binding in order to steal treasures and prepare a coup under the influence of the dward necromancer Sakzul Fenceshocks.

My search for "#yerba on the go" led me to exitence of "Yerbomos" - a container specifically designed for this, with somewhat interesting operation (see image descriptions). But most are mostly plastic... And then someone mentioned Mate Justo […] [Original post on social.hackerspace.pl]

"yerbomos" - thermal mug, with a container at the top for dry yerba. There's a straw at the top through which you suck made drink from the top container, which causes hot water from below to be pulled into the container. This one with steel thermal mug but everything else being plastic.

Cebador yerbomos, showing the construction of thermal mug, the yerba container with straw going down, the lid with straw with filter going into the container, and a cup/cover on top

Some generic metal yerbomos. Everything is metal, but "only" 350ml, filters on straws don't look great, and I've had very similar looking thermos not hold temperature well.

Mate Justo - all steel, half a liter "mate to go" thermal flask.

It's "cheating", because it's "the measurement at this moment is this much higher than the recommended 8h (or is it 24h?) average", but, yeah, the particulate concentrations ("air quality") right now exceed the WHO recommendations 5x #AirQualty #pollution

Graph of measurements of COVID in wastewater from treatment plants in Warsaw, since start of 2024. Shows a bit high levels January through March 2024, very low until July, high to very high August through end of October, and then (and still applicable) flat low with occasional peaks lasting about two weeks, mostly in same single one of the treatment plants.

Increased max playback speed

For those who love blazing-fast playback, the maximum audio playback speed has been increased from 5x to 7x. While 5x was sufficient for most users, some power listeners have mastered this speed and requested the ability to go even faster. With this update, you can now push playback to 7x, provided your device's CPU can handle the processing required at such high speeds.
