YouTube runs awful AI Slop ads. Look at Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social 's hand! I've flagged these ads a number of times and YouTube refuses to do anything about them.

I've discovered the perfect writing implement for compact cassette winding. It *is not* a Bic Crystal. It is the Uniball Jetstream retractable ball point pen. 1/3 #uniball #jetstream #cassetteculture

The thing I dislike most about IT and tech in general is more complexity as the solution to most problems, while recreating its tools and systems unnecessarily. It's a result of the complexiphilia that most in tech tend to have.

Solar can absolutely work in Newfoundland! On the beautiful resettled Exploits Islands, only accessible by boat, I saw at least six cottages/houses that were completely off grid. They had big screen TVs, clothes washers and dryers, dish washers, on demand hot water and internet. #nlwx

The temperatures on Exploits Islands in Notre Dame Bay were BRUTAL a few days ago. 34°C and zero wind. I'd never thought I'd experience a day like that out there. #nlwx

Audiophiles repeat the mantra "Analog vinyl is the most true to audio and is sonically transparent!" While ignoring the 10 dB rolloff above 13 kHz, and the crackle of dust that cannot be eliminated completely.

Hail in the Mundy Pond around 11:20 too! It was easily the heaviest I've witnessed here in years.

My feed is overwhelmed by American politics. I followed a lot of Americans back in the day when Twitter was all about their cool projects, hobbies, works or professions. Adding these keywords to my mute list makes my feed much more enjoyable and somewhat more Canadian focused.

Stinging nettles is a fixture of Notre Dame Bay. This is Probably the biggest field of "stinger needles" I've ever seen, by Woolfrey's Pond, Lewisporte. It went off the left out of frame. It has to be a couple acres or more. #nlwx
