India measuring temperatures over 52°C. We had 43°C a couple of years ago and it was unbearable. The idea of 10° more doesn't bear thinking about.

Temps are going up, and with water scarcity increasing out ability to deal with it is gonna diminish even more. Millions are gonna die.

Took a load of paper and cardboard to the recycling point. The simple joy that the paper container has been emptied today. Makes life a lot easier and I don't then have to wander round searching for another container with space.

Wait. If the evening standard is going weekly. What do we put on the chair opposite to protect it when we put our feet up? That's what the free newspapers are for right?

@SkipHuffman no. But last time I ordered each type came in it's own bag.

Computer nerds of the fediverse. Work are looking for some video conference devices for meeting rooms. The sort that you put in the middle of the room, or under the TV, and it allows remote people to see and hear the meeting. Does anyone have recommendations for suitable devices. No AI shit, and no cloud dependency are key requirements.

Please boost for reach.

Finally got a chance to spend some time in my balcony workshop doing some wood work. So far it looks like I've made a pile of wood chips, and a lot of noise. Fun tho.

Reminded by a survey from @sinituulia. I need a new backpack. Mostly for running errands around town, going to the supermarket etc... needs to be durable, with an external mesh side pocket for a water bottle. Big enough to also fit a laptop would be good.

What do people recommend?

@wmd i have an osprey tempest. It's been relegated to my tool bag. The straps don't interact well with boobs...

Tempted to write an article headlined "Are LLMs really artificial intelligence?" because... well you know what the answer is.

@ianbetteridge does it count as an article if it simply reads "No."

Bike bag is no soaking in some techwash. Really hope I can get the smell out.

Very glad I have a hepa filter with a carbon element. It's currently clearing the stink of what ever it was died in my bike bag from the room.

@wmd Amsterdam needs more penguins.

I thought this flag came from all the glass on the fietspad. But nope. It's a thorn. Not the biggest I've ever removed, but certainly one of the more annoying.

On the plus side. I've now fixed my rear inner tube. Hole was in exactly the same place as the previous tube. Close inspection shows I missed a thorn sticking through the outer.

Hopefully this fix will hold air.

Well that was vile and smelly. Found something that was once food in the bottom of my bike food bag. I'm not sure what it once was, but now it's turned into liquid. And it stinks.

Have now evicted it to the bin.
