vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 06/10/2026you know, generally when Some Shit turns up on the front page of aliexpress for me I can make a guess how their algorithm connected it to my activity, but what the fuck happened here 000 0
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 03/10/2026was trying to say "the framing of the question invites an obvious No which unhelpfully elides the fact that, embedded in a construct, it enables a completely different action with some comparable effects" but then I remembered actually crankshafts can walk so never mind 020 2
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 19/09/2026aliexpress has decided I'm into "EDC" and is now showing me this shit and I am slightly losing it. yes, please, this will go perfectly with my cordura-dyneema sailor suit and precision-cast grey enormous swirly lollipop 010 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 17/09/2026youtube shorts has changed my life. i've never learned so much so quickly 010 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 12/09/2026don't have anything that can get in to measure the really thin spot accurately but it's south of 0.5 000 0
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 08/09/2026cracked open a book light that stopped turning on after a couple of months in a drawer only to find the least ambitiously branded lipo i have ever seen 110 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 30/08/2026Users outside the US still get Lake Ontario (and, for The Last Time This Happened, the "teach the controversy" weasel route) so no, Google weren't simply taken off guard by a data source suddenly becoming Ideological and they don't need us covering for them 060 6
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 22/08/2026Most expensive mug I've ever seen in a charity shop by an order of magnitude. They know what they have 000 0
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 17/08/2026briefly had to put down an edit I would describe as "diagnosable" but I found a little fuck it we ball in me to pull it back 142 4
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 24/07/2026every few years I remember the Moulton bicycle company exists and take a minute to appreciate the facts - Eiffel tower ass frame geometry - Mini-style rubber cone or BMC Hydrolastic suspension. on a bicycle. - that bicycle costs £21,000 - Wiki maintainer also copywrites for Shrovis-Bishopthorpe 110 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 21/07/2026- it's a floating glans - no foreskin (it is arguably part of the shaft) - this is a dangerout line of inquiry 130 3
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 20/07/2026happy "he definitely cranked one off up there" day to all who celebrate 041 4
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 20/07/2026www.thingiverse.com/thing:1804833 oh here we go, literally a promotional thing from the company. uses a lot of expensive putty & barely better looking than tape or heatshrink, but fig. 1 below (from an even older, now-lost post) shows you can make something less wasteful and sloppy-looking with it 000 0
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 20/07/2026can't find it now but I definitely recall seeing a printable mould for overcasting strain reliefs using Sugru or similar made up of two convex cylindrical slices with mating gear teeth on the ends, as drawn very badly below 211 2
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 15/07/2026"fuck it I'll play a computer game that's less than 20 years old" the machine that plays computer games less than 20 years old: 020 2
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 12/07/2026i'm honour bound to suggest an old yokogawa, not because they're particularly superlative that i know of but because (a) they made some incredibly Aesthetic amber CRT scopes and (b) someone there saw me getting excited about a grubby old DL1540 on Twitter and shipped me one they had in the back room 130 3
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 10/07/2026I regret to inform you that I do, in fact, "gotta hand it to them": this is fucking nice less nice is how the exploded rifa lives on the same board as the flyback. not a fan there. 000 0
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 09/07/2026This TV is 35 years old and I have had it for 5 of those, but it decided to do this the precise DAY my SS1 arrived, and I'm choosing to take that personally 110 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 24/06/2026well I'll keep the hostname but this could be my worst setup experience in 10 years, and that includes last year when I tried Void with no DE 110 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026oh shit i'm about to set up a fresh linux and xfce just released alpha wayland support. we have not been this back in decades. triumphant return to the house of mouse 100 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026decided i should take what might be my last opportunity to upgrade before the Parts Insanity seeps into the lightly used business laptop market as well. now wondering if I just bought an elitebook from Ashens 110 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026"She's just fine from the knees up" became "from the hips up", then "from the waist up". When she started to lose confidence in her cart, we knew "from the shoulders up" was too far. I knew when I took this photograph that one day it was going to completely devastate me. There's never enough time. 141 4
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026Having the diagnosis meant we knew enough to keep her on her feet with support braces, and later to get her a wheelchair ahead of the day her hind legs gave out. She was so patient and hard-working, and she graced us with months more snuffling and squirrel-chasing than we dared hope for. 140 4
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026She was diagnosed early last year with Degenerative Myelopathy, a genetic ALS-like condition which causes progressive ataxia and paralysis. We assumed arthritis or hip dysplasia until a vet showed us the knuckling test: lift a hind paw, set it down curled over, and wait for the dog to correct. 220 2
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026generational talent at lounging and sprawling, consummate mouser, ridiculously expressive, as full of love as she was blazing smart. as bright eyed and intent as the day we met her. 141 4
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/06/2026posting in memory of the unimaginably precious half-feral Romanian wolfmutt we had to see off last week. almost 13 but still years before her time. 351 5
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 02/06/2026dragging my favourite chost out of the archives for the day that it is web.archive.org/web/20250107... 030 3
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 27/05/2026it's gauche to self-quote and worse to call it evergreen but on reflection it's been a long time since I did this, maybe that's part of the general malaise I'm feeling 120 2
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 25/05/2026a few days later, but I got curious: one probable reason for prescribing the prodrug appears to its relative insensitivity to gut pH, allowing for a more predictable relationship between oral dosage and resultant blood concentration. 010 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 23/05/2026maybe you know this one already, this is second-hand because my horrible 3D printer has been gathering dust for A While, but these things (plastic razor scrapers) are reportedly life savers in that department I can personally attest that they're great for getting labels off things, though 120 2
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 08/05/2026Comrades I decided not to buy an Olympus XA at a charity shop for £60 about two hours ago, because I very much do not know when I'm going to have the fucks to shoot film again, and I've been furiously second-guessing the decision ever since. 11481 48
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 07/05/2026so while I did know what a "brazzers" was, I had no idea why it was called that, and I just emitted a sigh that registered on local seismometers 010 1
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 02/04/2026found out a few weeks back (because they were down at the marina taking pictures of their cars with iridescent wraps and body kits) there's an owners' club you can join if you enjoy a fine Volkswagen Auto Group vehicle and their apparel looks like this don't know what direction that pushes you in 141 4
vonrosceau @vonrosceau.crime.chat · 19/03/2026hope you get a chance to see the sights here in the Kingdom of Fife 010 1
