What?

LeFGSS

There is a single person who donates £1 per month, less than half reaches the account

I think I have a small monthly donation set up (notthat small) - I will change to quarterly.

Cool tree. Just leave it and see what the rest does.

Some of Livejournal moved to Dreamwidth. It does communities, but I'm not sure how well. The ones I was in basically died at point of migration. It also might be about to get screwed by new laws.

They look nice. I've never seen llama wool products here (UK) only alpaca (which I understand is finer and even pricier). I have a sheepswool duvet which is quite pricey enough!

Teams? spits
Annoyingly, I just deleted Discord off my phone. I've run out of space.

I'm trying to work so only skimming this but in case it's at all useful/relevant, there's a group fighting "online safety" laws in the US - NetChoice https://netchoice.org/

I know of their existence because the Dreamwidth founders post about it occasionally. But I think a lot of their arguments rely on the constitution. (I don't understand much of the issue.)

DW also protects users data and identity but it's pretty clunky to use.

I've never watched 28 days later as I don't generally do horror very well, but I like films about/set in London, and I'm still tempted.

Ooh I like how it turns into half size ones to go into the curve at the end.

Obvs a lot has changed in the 7 years since the code was last revised - and this is a total rewrite not a revision - but IMO this is a missed opportunity and in addition poorly done.

• new structure and presentation is superficially more "general public friendly" - fine no issue with that.

• but actually the new structure is basically the opposite the RIBA Code and not at all obvious. You assume the numbered bits are "clauses", like the old code. But trying to interpret "Applying the Standards" (on intro page) the Standard is the bit at the top (mandatory), and the numbered things are merely "examples" (non mandatory). The language of how they are written suggest the opposite and half the Standards are just a "positive statement".

• onto the content, "Wider impact" (old code) has been absorbed by "Public interest" and you would think it might be appropriate to mention climate, carbon, ecology, biodiversity etc (words/ideas that have become rather more mainstream in last 7 years).

• standard 6 Respect attempts to address EDI but unfortunately the first example is that architects should be polite. Bullshit.

None of the "architects" threads seemed very active so I'll put this here - it's the last day to respond to the ARB consultation on a new draft Code of Conduct and Practice (which is mandatory to follow for all UK registered architects) - https://arb.org.uk/consultations/consultation-architects-code/

There have been a few pieces in the press lately:

Anyone can respond, please do.

the way you experience this energy as a human over time may vary.

This human receives radiant heat far more beneficially than ambient heat, for the same joules.

Oh someone else was asking about lowering cholesterol. Haw worked for my mum (apparently). I think it might be a Chinese remedy thing. I can't remember what format, maybe a tea. Or just buy packs of haw flakes from the Chinese supermarket. It could also have been a dramatic reduction in crisps intake.

Hell no do not need.
When my mum died I frequently thought about the fact I was half her age.

Retrofit coordinator if they want an informed opinion and someone to help plan works. They do vary a bit in expertise so try and get recommendations or speak to them first.

True. I've started getting @branwen to do the #1 maintenance shave to space out the actual cut a bit longer, which seems to be a good compromise

Lush. What film?

I go to barberette in hackney downs. Nice but pricey.

I'm still not quite on board with the idea my haircuts now cost about 70p a day when they were free (DIY or friends/family) until a few years ago.

There's a yoghurt eyeing me balefully every time I open the fridge. It went out of date about a year ago. I probably shouldn't try and eat it.

Same, couple of weeks ago. Except I've had great prescription specs in the past, just the last couple years of varifocals haven't worked. The main prescription has actually lessened considerably (by 0.75 I think) - the optometrist kept checking with different combos that I was sure it was better. So maybe it's because the contrast between distance and near is less. Either way, I can actually read my phone with my glasses on now.

Thread title made me think of this - https://shows.acast.com/wild-with-sarah-wilson/episodes/indy-johar-the-starkest-collapse-prognosis-ive-heard. (Indy Johar of Dark Matter Labs talking a bit about systems thinking and the future).

I don't know what you're actually talking about though.

Honestly planning may be the slowest to take action. Try HSE.

One of my favourite plants. I don't have one.

Sure yes please, will pm
