Nah, the monarchy just has a to get another pawn the other side of the board.

🤦‍♂️ 🤦 🤦‍♀️

In any case it’s Neo-Liberals, all the way down. *shudders

Until a new pawn is born.

The bishop is safe… for now.

Are you sure you’re not thinking of Margaret Thatcher? I mean ones an old white fascist lady and the other… wait-

At least he has all those thots to choose from.

Looking at some of the ready-made options and… damn? If they’re that expensive you might look into printing off your own.

My university has a 3d printer I use for stuff like this sometimes. Some of the better funded public libraries might have them too.

I bought the Orphan Espresso LIDO 2 more than a decade ago and have been using it with my Chemex ever since. The 2 isn’t in production any more, but the LIDO 3 is the seemingly upgraded version of it for $170USD. Looks good, but I can only speak to the quality of the previous iteration.

It made me want a cup of coffee, but it’s almost midnight and I have no decaf. ;-;

I don’t think they had naming conventions back in the day.

IIRC the bolts were never there to begin with. 💀

FYI internal body temperature is 37℃ and coffee tastes best when at that temperature.

In 1920, the average price of gold per troy ounce was $20.68USD[26.2 kB pdf]; 1 Kilogram = 32.15075 Troy ounces. Average house price in the 1920’s was $6,296.

$20.68 USD * 32.15075 oz t = $664.87751 USD * 10 = $6648.7751 USD

In 2023, the average price of gold per oz t was $1,940.54 and the average home price was $495,100.

$1,940.54 USD * 32.15075 oz t = $62,389.81641 USD * 10 = $623,898.1641 USD

This meme is credible, excepting errors in my assumption that 1 kilogram of gold is equivalent to 1 kilogram of common material.

I thought it was a dirty pun, but indeed, I was the dirty one.

Dear Andre,

I’m Gianpiero Morbello, serving as the Head of IOT and Ecosystem at Haier Europe.

It’s a pleasure to hear from you. We just received your email, and coincidentally, I was in the process of sending you a mail with a similar suggestion.

I want to emphasize Haier Europe’s enthusiasm for supporting initiatives in the open world. Please note that our IOT vision revolves around a three-pillar strategy:

• achieving 100% connectivity for our appliances,
• opening our IOT infrastructure (we are aligned with Matter and extensively integrating third-party connections through APIs, and looking for any other opportunity it might be interesting),
• and the third pillar involves enhancing consumer value through the integration of various appliances and services, as an example we are pretty active in the energy management opening our platform to solution which are coming from energy providers.

Our strategy’s cornerstone is the IOT platform and the HON app, introduced on AWS in 2020 with a focus on Privacy and Security by Design principles. We’re delighted that our HON connected appliances and solutions have been well-received so the number of connected active consumers is growing day after day, with high level of satisfaction proven by the high rates we receive in the App stores.

Prioritizing the efficiency of HON functions when making AWS calls has been crucial, particularly in light of the notable increase in active users mentioned above. This focus enables us to effectively control costs.

Recently, we’ve observed a substantial increase in AWS calls attributed to your plugin, prompting the communication you previously received as standard protocol for our company, but as mentioned earlier, we are committed to transparency and keenly interested in collaborating with you not only to optimize your plugin in alignment with our cost control objectives, but also to cooperate in better serving your community.

I propose scheduling a call involving our IOT Technology department to address the issue comprehensively and respond to any questions both parties may have.

Hope to hear back from you soon.

Best regards

Gianpiero Morbello Head of Brand & IOT Haier Europe
