  1. When we see the world around us, sometimes we see the beauty in it and sometimes the ugly. If we are not seeing the ugly at least as often as we see the beauty, we are complicit in making the world a crueler place for some people. And sometimes, sadly but truthfully, we have to allow for a crueler world, in return for better mental health.

  15. So I just found out from @Psykhophear that mastodon.art community is more geared towards artists. I might or might not migrate there since I post mostly art stuff anyway with a few posts about video games I’m playing 😅

    @welshpixie I understand @Psykhophear has also spoken to you about this issue

  17. Turns out we left the driver's side car window totally open to the last 14 hours of attractive ye old New England snowfall. And then rain.

    After winkling out the patches of snow on seat, floor, armrest with spatula & spoon, I've attacked the upholstery & other surfaces with towels; car heater on high, recirc, A/C; kitty litter; baking soda.

    Oh, and rolled up the window.

    Guess I was wrong about a wet/dry shop vac being a silly extravagance I'd never need.

    If not just a simple mistaken overlap, the organization is simply following a golden rule of direct marketing: your most likely donor is your most recent donor.

    So if you send a new solicitation to 1000 people, the percentage of recent donors responding will be greater — sometimes much greater — than the percentage of people on that list who are not recent donors.

    Sometimes it seems the universe is full of perverse incentives.

  30. My UDOO Bolt kept bluescreening frequently, serveral times a day, which is especially annoying when hosting video conferences.
    Investigated yesterday. I knew the EMMC component on the mainboard causes reboots, so I had deactivated that quite some time ago.

    Found out yesterday: Looks like a Windows update had reactivated this component. #whyohwhy

    Deactivated again and now the machine is running stable.
    I don't have time to work against Windows.

  31. Today I was given 2 of my favorite IKEA products. from my fantastic girl. It's a shame these are not produced any more. You'll see them beauties shine in my future videos! mastodon.social/media/NYHfMysz
