I reuse plastic takeout containers for palettes for painting. I plan to start using small plastic containers to hold so premixed paint to prevent drying out & speed up my process. I try to repurpose & reuse a lot. I reuse larger jars for leftovers. No need to buy plastic tubs. I also try to choose better materials like wooden spoons and chopsticks, & wood butter knives too. also upcycled wasteโฆall my old paintbrushes and paint tubes are going to become a mirror frameโฆsoon.

when I was in the SCA a knight transitioned to female and the boys club lost their goddamn minds about it. She was a awesome person, and they treated her like crap because they were so threatened.
A small consulting company that I work with is hiring a full, high level infosec position. They are mostly a GRC shop, I do a lot of their appsec. Here's the listing. Great gig for the right person.
Youโll be a senior leader in Gamma Force serving as a leader both internally and externally helping with cybersecurity strategy and building security programs to help our clients manage risk.
A viral video๏ปฟ shows a protester neutralizing a tear gas๏ปฟ๏ปฟ canister by trapping it in a thermos. How do you actually neutralize the chemical agent?
@cqd_sos I still donโt understand why any forces are allowed to use tear gas against citizens. Itโs a chemical agent, and a dangerous one to those with any respiratory conditions. As well as just being generally inhumane.
@LDJ @cqd_sos it's banned by the Geneva convention. Isn't it interesting that the US population would have *more* legal protections if they were at war with the US government?
@Hex @LDJ Not by the Geneva Convention, afaik, but by the Geneva Protocol 1925 and the Chemical Weapons Convention 1993.
Prosecuting violations would the International Criminal Court in The Hague though, founded by its corresponding Rome Statute, to which the United States is not a state party. Meaning the US does not cede jurisdiction to the ICC.
So even if the US were "at war with the US", legal protection against the use of tear gas would not exist.
@cqd_sos @LDJ except if the US is not able to administrate justice itself, as was the case with the Nazis and is the case with the US, as proved by Trump pardoning war criminals during his first term. All of this would be relevant, if international law actually meant something.
It's called the City of Angels, and I saw some today. I saw one covering a tear gas canister with a homemade neutralizer. I watched one encircle a stranger's child in her arms to keep her safe. I saw them back ICE into a corner. I saw one walking away while tear gas rained down around him, so others could escape. I saw them everywhere today; helping, protecting, healing, taking action, being brave. I used to think angels had wings. Turns out they've been among us the entire time. I love you LA.
Hey George Takeis social media team: These posts would be MUCH more believable, if you would employ #alttext every effing time (and never link to #substack once for that matter).
when you put out #water for our #insect friends on hot dry days, make sure to put a stone inside the water, so anypwny falling in has the chance to swim to the stone and to get out by climbing its rough (low biofilm) over water surface. If you put the stone to the edge of the water container you can connect it to one of those holding the container in place forming a bridge for those, who can not fly, but still smell the fresh water. Flying ones like in the picture just land on the stone after a few explorative cycles. #gardening #insects #photography #feditips @gardening group
@Jo would reduce the contrast for far visual. If there is shadow on the water, the flying ones don't land. Could be a pedetor hidden it it. Have to move the bowl away from the plant behind it all the time.
My cat prefers to drink water from a bowl with a pebble in it. I guess, it makes water more tasty. Since I noticed that at the outside bowl, now all water bowls get a stone.
starting the ASO (anarchist standards organization). itโs the same as ISO but all freely available and also purely by coincidence our standards all end up the same as theirs
@mcc there are a at least a few RFCs like this too, although upon further inspection there are apparently some minor differences between the ISO standard for timestamps and the IETF/RFC standard for timestamps.
The image shows a building with a sign that reads "TRUMP BURGER" prominently displayed on the front. The building is brown with a triangular roof and features several American flags hanging from the eaves and on the porch. The porch has a covered area with white chairs and a few people standing or sitting. The sky is partly cloudy, and there are trees visible in the background.
Above the image, there is text providing information about Trump Burger locations in Bellville, Flatonia, Kemah, and Houston, Texas, along with their respective phone numbers. The text also requests that people stop calling and asking if they serve chicken tacos, stating that they do not serve them.

Whatever you do, DO NOT CALL THAT NUMBER AND ASK THAT. Or ask about the likelihood of getting deported to El Salvador against Supreme Court orders if you have brown skin. Or the likelihood that there will be a freak weather incident we don't know is coming because of cuts to the Federal government. Or that the food is poisonous because the supplier, or worse them, figured no one would come to check if they put in spoiled food or moldy food or undercooked food or whatever. Or...

Yโall, we have reached the point in the unraveling timeline where captchas have delved into theoretical philosophy. How can we know? When does Theseusโs ship cease to be his ship? Terry Pratchett posed a similar question in regard to the Low Kings Hammer...even though every piece has been replaced over time, is it not still the axe of my grandfather? #philosophy #TheseusShip #captcha #SpottedInTheSimulation
A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course. The husband cringed, 'I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.' So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, 'Come on in.' When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass. A man reclining on the couch asked, 'Are you the people that broke my window?' 'Uh...yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that,' the husband replied. 'Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself.' Wow, that's gr... Show more...

I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself.' Wow, that's great!' the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, 'I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.' 'No problem,' said the genie 'You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!' 'And now you, young lady, what do you want?' the genie asked. 'I'd like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants,' she said. 'Consider it done,' the genie said. 'And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary, and natural disasters 'And now,' the couple asked in unison, 'what's your wish, genie?' 'Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.' The husband looked at his wife and said, 'Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune and all those houses. What do you think?' She mulled it over for a few moments and said, 'You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?' You know I love you, sweetheart,' said the husband. I'd do the same for you!' So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes, and asked, How old are you and your husband?' 'Why we're both 35,' she responded breathlessly. 'No Kidding,' he said. 'Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?'
