馃挭馃従 Pull-ups for Ukraine 馃嚭馃嚘

Day two, early morning in Odesa. Before the work began, I found a calisthenics 馃尦park for a mini workout.

As a 50-year-old humanitarian volunteer, I've learned that my well-being is part of the mission. When I take time for my mental and physical health, I can show up fully鈥攔eady to give all my energy and focus to the people of Ukraine.馃尰

Want an easy soldering project and detailed project and firmware notes so you know what you're building? Try the TV-B-Gone! https://www.tvbgone.com/shop/tv-b-gone-kit-universal-build-tv-b-gone-kit/

Adafruit posted design notes for the kit and there are interesting tidbits on reverse engineering an IR signal, compressing the IR codes to fit nicely into an ATTINY microcontroller, and preserving LED lifespan by not driving them so hard: https://learn.adafruit.com/tv-b-gone-kit/design-notes

I kind of want one with a mute feature too. #electronics #selfcare

It also reminded me of the fact that I basically only want one thing from the various EU acts; an end to the fragmented fuckery that leads to movies getting released with only Dutch subtitles, or only Dutch and French, etc.

It's 2025, FFS. We should get one (1) European release, with all the relevant subs and dubs, including the original language. Free to switch, turn on or off, no baked-in nonsense, no more ordering in the UK just to escape the forced localisation, and get English subs.

The Baymax movie is still great, too. Watching it again is also an excellent excuse to repost this #SelfCare meme I made nine years and almost two weeks ago, back in August of 2016, in the Before Times.

Still true.

Next on the list, The Dude abides in 'The Big Lebowski', which premiered at Sundance closer to the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots than to today.
