@remedygames.com well this is certainly gonna be news to the guys I've had sex with.

A screenshot of me getting the "Versatile Expert" achievement on Control Resonant, it has a big red hexagonal symbol above the text that looks almost a bit like a spider's web internally.

Guess how I found out Tory conference is on right now..

The Toy Story meme where Buzz Lightyear is excitedly telling Woody something, with Woody looking very unhappy, but I have labelled Woody with "Grindr in Birmingham", and the top text says Tories, and the bottom text says Tories everywhere.

*laughs, for once, at a Bluesky server issue that doesn't seem to be affecting him in Europe*

Zohran Mamdani sitting on a bus doing a smiling shrug with his hands up.

I'm aware of the irony of mentioning being European then posting Mamdani, but without the alt-text Americans apparently couldn't even see it, so is that more ironic? Is it apt? I don't even know tbh.

4. To replicate it exactly, set the dimensions to 800x600, loop delay ("..." button) to 1.1s, quality to 99%, FPS to 24, speed to 1x, loop forever, and be just below 30MB once converted. Obvs feel free to play around with those options to get smaller files, can also use the crop button too.

It's hard to directly give you a GIF file over Bluesky, and it's about 30MB at that res, but: 1. Give bskySaver the URL for *this reply* to get the 4:3 cropped video (I have the 16:9 if you want it too): bskysaver.com 2. Get Gifski (it's free + open source): gif.ski 3. Open the video file in it.

Obligatory European reply: Just checked prices here in the UK and we're up to $8.54/US gal for petrol and $9.67/US gal for diesel.

A screenshot of a historical price chart for petrol and diesel in the UK set to 1 year, showing over this period petrol rose by 33.99p (25.3%) and diesel rose by 48.70p (34.3%). There was a big spike from march to the end of it, dropping down by mid July, then shooting back up now.

While I don't think my activity report would be the same as a cow overall, our rumination percentages are probably similar tbh.

TiL that "Breeding Insights" is not just what you'd call the Sniffies magazine, but also a thing you can get from an internet-connected smart ear tag for your cows. www.701x.com/xtpro-tag

Dear god I love the Hold Assist feature on iOS. If you aren't aware of it, when you get put on hold during a call, your phone can silence the call and automatically detect when the hold music ends so you can do something else, then it should make your phone ring when a person actually picks up.

1. Go to the Phone app on your iPhone.

2. When you’re in a call and put on hold, tap the More button, then tap Hold Assist.

Important: Check your ring settings before you step away from the call. If your iPhone is on silent or Do Not Disturb, you won’t hear the incoming call when an agent is available. See Silence iPhone.

3. Hold Assist will notify you when an agent is available and transcribe the part of the call you missed. Tap the Answer Call button to rejoin the call.

Note: Phone can also automatically detect hold music and prompt you to start Hold Assist. Go to Settings > Apps > Phone, then turn on Hold Assist Detection.

You know how there's that section on the PI sheet for medical stuff that says you shouldn't take it if you're allergic to it, and we're all like "duh, why do you even bother to say this?". Yeah, so the rabies vaccine says this:

---------------------DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS----------------------
For injectable suspension. (3) Supplied as lyophilized vaccine in a single-dose
vial which must be reconstituted with Sterile Water diluent in the
accompanying prefilled syringe to form IMOVAX RABIES. (11)
---------------------------CONTRAINDICATIONS----------------------------------
• Pre-exposure prophylaxis: known life-threatening systemic hypersensitivity
reaction to any component of the vaccine. (4)
• Post-exposure prophylaxis: no contraindication. (4)

I've got a friend who, when he tells me about a big annoying task he's finished, I sometimes send him a pic of himself with an XP overlay on it, and FWIW, if I knew you, you'd be getting way more XP for something like this.

A story about helping AI systems to control lab equipment like centrifuges, microscopes, incubators, pipette robots, and robot arms etc., sounds like the kind of thing that'd be in the intro of a sci-fi disaster film. Could we maybe *not* make it easier for LLMs to make fucking bioweapons?

They used to until literally this year. www.latimes.com/sports/story...

No transgender woman competed at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, and it is unclear if any trans women currently compete at an Olympic level. Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard of New Zealand was the last to do so, competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics without winning a medal.

Further up the page, and while I can't comment on the legality of it (wouldn't shock me if there's a potential negligence issue), I'd say the argument for not just dumping it in a lake, where it could be found by people later, is pretty solid still.

Disposal of a firearm

Never throw away weapons, as they could fall into the wrong hands.

If you have a firearm or shotgun that you wish to dispose of, you must do so in one of the following ways.

020

Wonkish @wonkish.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

FWIW, this is what West Midlands police say about what to do, and no, it's not "put it in a lake": www.westmidlands.police.uk/advice/advic...

Police

If you'd like to surrender a firearm or shotgun to the police, you can call 101 or contact us online. We'll tell you the best course of action.

Please do not bring your firearm to a police station unless we've asked you to. Keep the firearm secure and do not move it until instructed. Follow our instructions carefully, including bringing the firearm in covered up, and preferably in a gun slip.

Do not worry if you have a weapon that you should not own. You are acting responsibly by choosing to hand it in. No action will be taken against you. It's only if you choose to keep the weapon that you then risk prosecution.
