When posting, I had to get some number from somewhere. I just found some random electricity provider and used the site to figure out roughly what they’re promising. In reality, buying electricity is pretty complicated and the pricing is a total mess. When in doubt, multiply that value with pi and you should be pretty close to what you actually end up paying IRL.

It was inevitable.

In that case it’s going to be about 1.5 € which still isn’t too expensive if it actually solves a problem. Anyway, leaving a vacuum running for hours is bad idea for different reasons.

When I saw that post about fruits and chocolate, I immediately thought about chocolate bars that have nuts in them. Brilliant combination IMO, but apparently that’s a reasonably popular opinion.

Anyway, if you were the emperor of the world and you found the person who invented nut chocolate, what would be their punishment?

No surprise. Smells can stick around for a while. You could just replace the bag and then spray the inside of the vacuum with one of those odour removing sprays.

Anyone else reading this in 2026?

5 h * 1 kW * 0,08 €/kWh = 0,40 €
Sounded like a terrible idea at first, but it’s not that expensive really.

Fun fact, you can also put some perfume in your hair. At least arab barbers like to do that. Yes, even guys can have hair that smells nice. It may seem like a feminine thing here in the West, but when a bearded guy puts flowery perfume in his beard and hair, who am I to judge?

Walked to a bus stop, and the bus was just arriving. I took a few faster steps, and my timing was spot on! I went to a shopping mall, did my shopping, and made my way back to another bus stop. This time, the timing was even better. No fast walking was required. I just walked at my usual pace, and when I arrived at the stop, so did the bus.

It was so satisfying!

I can see they were aiming for shorter commands. Makes sense if you have to type them using a mobile phone.

These low end computers are always a fun challenge. You end up trying a bunch of programs you have never even heard of, and you can also learn something along the way.

I think there’s hope as long as we don’t nuke ourselves back into the stone age. If we keep a steady pace of progress and take good care of our only habitable space ship, we should be able to figure out how to thrive pretty much anywhere in space. Self inflicted extinction events are the biggest threats at the moment.

LOL. Thanks!

Oh recipes… 🫢
Oops. Totally forgot about those.

Normally, I just throw all sorts of tasty ingredients together without worrying too much about the details. Recipes usually require ingredients I don’t have, make things too complicated, or both. I’m just making some ”generic improv stew” every time with whatever happens to be available.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments!

It’s my fanciest pan. That’s why it’s always easily available. Also, the flat bottom and wide sloping sides are a surprisingly convenient combination.

It’s a wok pan , so the top view doesn’t tell you the whole truth. Yes, I know, a regular pot would have been just fine. I just grabbed whatever happened to be conveniently within arm’s reach. 😃

A regular pan would definitely sit neatly on the bottom left circle.

Oh… so after billions of years, the Earth will be tidally locked with the Sun. If we start harvesting Earth’s rotational energy one way or another, we’re just speeding up the process. Anyway, that sounds about as bad as burning fossil fuels.

Thanks! I’ve violated all of the rules already, so I guess it’s time to try something that actually works.
