One of the best pizza making forums on the net is still;

A lot of clothes dryers/tumblers have cheap threaded blower wheels that screw onto a motor shaft. Often, the wheel’s threads are stripped from constant thermal expansion. When hot enough (it’s delayed), there’ll be a loud noise of metal spinning inside metal. The motor could be dying too (running hotter than normal) since it has the stronger threads.

One temporary fix involves wrapping copper wire around the motor’s threads for friction… at least while trying to think of a more “permanent solution” that does not involve buying/hoarding perfectly shaped blower wheels indefinitely.

Tea is zen. Tea is life. Bidens alba.

Isn’t this a beautiful lithographic painting? (Don’t worry, I got permission from the relevant authorities to post this)

Maybe I’m dreaming.. but a stealthy trend of distorted words is afoot. Is that an ai defense/poisoning mechanism, innocuous misspellings/truncations or artifacts in generated content?

So, I just realized that infinite scrolling is a two birds, one stone kinda thing. Basically; your servers do almost nothing, while the clients toil your complexity (and their time) on the server’s behalf.

It’s a bad all–you–can–eat buffet in computer algorithmic form. The rewards? Architectural flexibility + implicit user retention. I recently saw someone scrolling a YouTube channel all the way to the end just to find the first video. That’s the server’s job… and a lot of wasted user time.

Starlink has officially arrived in The Bahamas as Starlink Services Bahamas Limited. Finally there’s economic pressure for better Internet infrastructure! I do wonder though, how will they (the musketeers) approach the eventual over–subscription problem–on second thought–that’s wholly irrelevant because well… the bar is obscenely low.

Every satellite the techno–king (future emperor–suzerain?) launches is a fast moving death knell for our mostly unaware local ISPs. Isn’t the world rather boring in its predictability — I think so?

IPv6 > RSS. You know I’ve been thinking, there are some protocols/standards that are technically so simple and elegant that the simplicity itself becomes its achilles’ heel economically. Complexity/inefficiency/scarcity is economics after all or so the story goes.

The plant disease identification/management handbook by Balaji Aglave is excellent for popular plants. A lot of modern handbooks are fluffy with information (maybe that’s popular) but this one gets straight to the point — I was very lucky to come across this book a while back.

One aspect of blogging that I don’t like is the unpredictability of an audience’s impressionability. Many people out there read/watch jokes/spam/falsities/uncertainties with utmost confidence — seen it countless times.

Presenting info in a way that prioritizes “critical thinking/reasoning” over an “oracle of truth” is actually hard. I’m almost out of my 20’s and seeing irl reactions to stuff online makes it seem like I’m still in high school — moreso now than ever before. The money gets made somehow :-)
