Concurso de retirada de pavimento en calles y viviendas de Países Bajos para bajar las temperaturas y favorecer el drenaje y la biodiversidad.
El movimiento ciudadano 'Depave', una gran idea muy necesaria en nuestras calles, plazas y parques, construidos con dureza y cemento...
Okay 2 questions.
Firstly, how the fuck is it possible to go from pressing buy on a web site to having a working printer within 24 hours?
Secondly, how the fuck is it possible that all I had to do is plug in 2 cables and then I can immediately print without installing anything else?
@jpm is it a Brother?
Okay so, in all sincerity - I know a number of organizations have basically depended on stuff like Nitter/XCancel as an excuse to continue posting important information on X. Now that people without accounts are really locked out I hope we can actually put serious pressure on organizations to post information publicly.

“Dolly Parton gave Vanderbilt University Medical Center $1 million in April 2020. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority went on to commit $955 million to develop Moderna's mRNA-1273 [COVID vaccine] through licensure, and the federal government later added up to $1.525 billion to manufacture and deliver the first 100 million doses.
“Mark Denison, M.D., director of Vanderbilt's Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, told The New York Times in November 2020 that Parton's gift paid for what he called the ‘critical’ early stages of the work.”

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs.
Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too.
Luckily, I have a guide for that.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned... but a scorned Canadian is just as fierce! 🙂
One of my favorite Dolly Parton stories that she told often was that she entered a Dolly Parton look-a-like contest without revealing her true identity and she came in second place… to a drag queen. She told that story with love and laughter. #DollyParton
just once i would like, when people ask if i can spend a few hours helping with cherry picking, that i be taken to a nice orchard rather than a fucked git repo.
@az we have cherry picking at home

We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Advice request:
Anybody know a quality and cheap source for a buck converter, 36 volt to something I can charge a 12 volt AGM with? Like ideally 14.7 volt, but I might accept as low as 13.8v
Somebody gave me a nice folding 200 watt 36 volt solar panel which she didn't have a use for. I'm starting to understand why
"Bangladesh, Indonesia and Israel all agreed to preference US wheat purchases over other suppliers as part of an offset agreement to avoid tariffs on their own exports.
But the arrangement means they will need to accept whatever price US wheat is trading at rather than being able to purchase on the open market. Many within Bangladesh have denounced the deal and are attempting to renegotiate it.
Indonesia's arrangement is even worse. It has agreed to purchase up to 2 million tonnes of US wheat per year, just so its tariffs could be lowered to 19 per cent."
Madness. And cruelty from the US trade negotiators.

What do you do when you oust a klepocracy?
Do you let bygones be bygones? Do you pardon them for “unity?”
No. You prosecute the crap out of them and every crooked deal they ran until they are smoldering piles of ash. Then you prosecute the ashes.
