Do you live near a data center that makes a noise loud enough to bother you in your home? If so, please DM me. Also, please boost this so I get some responses. I need some information.
"Simple way to cook your home" like this gets under my skin. The climate has changed. We should be discussing updating building codes before we have heat-induced loss of life. These buildings are insulated like a down coat and new ones are going in every day. Use this space for long term solutions

"Oh no. I've come down with a bad case of #HeatStrike. And so have all my mates." 😉✊

I have a small request. I am trying to set up webmentions on my website but it is a bit hard to test without any data. Would you be able to boost, like, reply to this post so I have some data?

Thank you in advance you awesome people!

Setting up webmentions | Alex Hyett

Today I have been trying to set up webmentions on my website. Brennan Kenneth Brown has a great article that goes through his process for setting up webmentions:

Here’s a thought on the current heatwave that is absolutely destroying humankind across Europe atm: maybe we should push for a regulation to allow people — ALL people — to stop working in temperatures above 30C. The economy would collapse and finally politicians would take fighting the climate crisis as a priority, rather than leaning into the bullshit narrative that “summer is summer” from their air-conditioned ivory towers.

I AM OBSESSED WITH THE NEW WAVE SYNTHS ON OLIVIA RODRIGO’S NEW ALBUM!!!!!!!!! And how genius to somehow get Robert Smith onboard with a boppy love song that sounds nothing like him.

Reasons we fly a pride flag:

Leaving the house this morning, there was a kid, maybe grade 5, no rain gear, sitting on our front step.

I was obviously a little startled

Me: uhm...hi? Can I help you?

Kid: oh! No, I'm just taking a break my mom told me that if I ever need to ask an adult for help I should look for a house with a rainbow flag because that means it's safe. I don't need help, just a dry spot for calling my friend to bring my rain coat.

And then his friend rocked up with his coat and off they went.
A Filipino friend I made on MySpace 20+ years ago, who lived in Italy for a while & with whom I went to a random gig in the middle of Italy to see one of my fav Italian bands (Verdena), has now moved back to the Philippines & started a family. We follow each other on insta & recently he realised that our 2 daughters, who are roughly the same age, both own the same exact dress (both hand-me-downs). I don’t know why this story is cool, but somehow it makes me feel like the internet is still magic.
My PT: it would be good if you could avoid doing too many arm rotations during your Taekwondo camp, to give your shoulder a break
Me: yeah totally!
Also me:

Germany- friends, anyone has good stamp acquisition tips? I’m looking for international postage paper stamps and it’s a shame that postde seems to keep most new designs for .95€, which is fine if there is .30€ spare i can add easily, but they only come in .05 .1 .2 and .5 which will take up too much space on a postcard, and i can’t just get digital code for arbitrary € in addition to paper.

I’m not looking to collect, these are for use so they gotta be reasonably priced!
