@randahl I thought the war was already over?

More test results from my ceramic tile project: The cardinal

This is a rather moving exhibit in Glasgow University's Hunterian Museum. When the Erskine Hospital opened in 1916 to care for the many soldiers and sailors injured in WWI, the sheer number of amputees meant there was a shortage of prosthetic limbs.

One of the hospital's surgeons decided to solve this problem by contacting the surrounding Clydeside shipyards and asking them to make artificial limbs for his patients. These are three examples made by the pattern shop at Yarrows.

@GeePawHill Probably not PBR, the lubricant of my college years.

I swear, whichever one out of Amphenol, Samtec, or Molex builds a wizard where you say "I would like a connector for [some well defined computer interface]. It goes on the [board|other thing|board end of the wire|other end of the wire]. It must be [speed/width] and support [power specs]." and it gives you a table with the matching parts, the relevant standard names, and a link to a search that gives you the same data for mating parts, they'll kill all competition overnight.

Heeft die mevrouw van de VVD al gereageerd?

En zo ja, waren dat complimenten of lichte kritiek op de bezorgde burgers?

"Practice what you preach" was our motto when we at @Bibliothecaris left X for #Mastodon and switched to #PeerTube. And yet, we're a university library that's still on Instagram, because it's where students are.
We want to leave, but then what?

My colleague Josca and I wrote about this dilemma. https://www.rug.nl/library/open-access/blog/a-university-library-on-instagram-we-want-to-leave-but-then-what

Last RT - see you know it's a genocide, not just bog standard racism, for the same reason you knew it was economic advantage, not racial animus alone that fuelled the Jim Crow South. You know why?

Because they won't let them leave; just as the "ex"slavers wouldn't in the US. If what you were about was MERELY hating Palestinians, you'd welcome Palestinian kids getting scholarships and FUCKING OFF ABROAD. But it's not. You wanna kill em all, and them disappearing into the West makes that harder.

Avis aux cyclistes de Lyon et alentours 🚲🦁

Si vous êtes dispo demain matin (mercredi 13) j’ai un truc pour vous :

La présidente de la Métropole aimerait bien dégommer la piste cyclable de la montée du Chemin Neuf (Lyon 5) et organise demain à partir de 9h30 une « visite de terrain »

Alors si vous avez envie d’y passer à vélo, autour de 10h, surtout n’hésitez pas. Et faites passer dans vos cercles 😇

I can believe it. plus in that era, things like android and chrome were still "look at this new stuff we're making so you can do all these things" products and not as obvious about being surveillance-enabling sickoware, so I can imagine giving them the benefit of the doubt

but like... at some point you gotta look around and check in
