Yeah. I never get any AfD videos on my youtube feed (living in germany). I guess Meta isnt pushing right wing narratives then. Phew, we got lucky

Go play something like pathologic and come back to tell us how its like a slot machine.
Rosenow is a municipal (around 32km²) and in there is a district also called Rosenow. So the sender just specified his current position a bit more.

Sure, let me just quickly hop on a plane to australia to meet with some. I assume youre paying?

Yes? What kind of question is that? Youre just gonna start talking about the value you created for shareholders or your business?

Re:I Started a "Dirt Notebook" on Saturday July 18, 2026 @04:47AM (#48956297)
This looks quite expensive for note taking. I have a midori travellers notebook (wow they got expensive now!) and bought myself a stapler that you can rotate (so together like 50€ and I still thought it was quite expensive at the time). I make my own refills out of whatever paper I want.
Re:Stenchill: 3D Printable Solder Paste Stencil Generator on Saturday July 18, 2026 @04:38AM (#48956250)
You could solve the inaccuracy by just using a resin printer, that should have enough accuracy (maybe with some fiddling with the settings/trying out resins, light can bleed to the sides of the tiny holes needed). Although I have never done a stencil that was very fine but did fine silicone moulds with them.
Theres already 3d models of heads you can print and attach to the rearview mirror to trick the ssensor! At least for the Teslas with Autopilot, but I can imagine it working just as well with other cars.

Probably the same stuff they smoked when they cheaped out on a resistor on the raspberry pi 4 and made it so chargers thought it was an audio device.
Re:Sad Story of My Google Workspace Account Suspension on Sunday April 05, 2026 @04:36PM (#47653624)
They sold me a Pixel phone with a broken battery (I think 6a? Where the battery fails after 400 charging cycles). I got an email and the offer to just get 100$ in cash from them instead of sending my phone away to get it fixed. I never received the money after filling out all the forms. Fuck google.

Tbh often I see going out and being social as a kind of pre-payment so I can be a shut-in nerd for the other day of the weekend without feeling bad.

Yeah, I can tell you that the only thing CCTV does is making the thief wear hoodies. And you get some clips of them carrying expensive bikes around the corner out of CCTV range to their parked transporter.
In small shops youtube is quite a handy source of information. I have to prototype and 3D print lots of stuff.
