Well this is pretty neat! A conference is being advertised in the Karelian language. This must be the first time I come across a real, organic text in Karelian, and not just random example phrases.
(dw, the message is public information, so I’m allowed to share. Not being unprofessional here!)

Winter running season officialy started today, which my frosty beard can attest for!
It’s kind fun to run in the winter/cold, because it gives it more of a resource management aspect. You can’t breathe too heavily in the cold, so you have to mange your pace more carefully

Today was the first time over a span of 11 years of reading academic texts I encounter the f-bomb being dropped in an academic, peer-reviewed paper, not as a quote or interview transcript, but as the authors’ actual words, at face value.
Well done Bucholtz, M. & Hall, K. (2004)!

Something really enshittified, predatory and dodgy about Apple is that every time you search the app store, the first result is an ad for something SIMILAR to what you searched for but IS NOT what you searched for.
Are you trying your best to facilitate scams and preying on vulnerable users, Apple?

One particular, classic instance of tetanus polygon 3D cutscene:
Death cutscene!

There are only two genders (of late 90s video game cutscene):
- Endearingly clunky pre-rendered 3D with about seven polygons and animations that have tetanus
- Endearingly cheesy live action video with about five pixels on the screen and sound coming from a tin can

Turning the plentiful and edible but forgotten and underutilised wild lake fish often considered ”trash fish” by hobby fishers into a convenient and accessible product?
This is the way to go!!
Stop buying imported farmed salmon every time, buy domestic fish instead! Our lakes are full of fish! 😤

No, I don’t want to “save” as to some nebulous online location I have no idea if I can reach or not next time I open my laptop.
I want to SAVE the file. On my computer. And USB stick.
(I know “download” is right there, but I WILL bitch and moan when “save” doesn’t mean properly saving anymore 😤)

Finally got to restoring the old cast iron pancake pan that was a rusty mess after decades in a shed and a few months out under bare sky.
Testing if I got the surface done right. One singular egg. Will it stick?

I got a rather comical video suggestion on youtube. Every single element and snippet of text on this is MAXIMALLY SHOCKING.
