@DarkSheepArts Yes, sounds very familiar :(

@DarkSheepArts All the yikes, with a side of 'aha, not just me then': the struggle to get people who build stuff for exhibitions to think - just a little bit, just once, at all even - about how that stuff is supposed to be maintained over time, is very real, not that you need me to tell you that. Stuff seems to get built on the apparent assumption that it only needs to last a weekend, and then some poor sod (hi!) has to maintain it for up to a decade or more. Anyway, good luck, all best w/ it.

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

because I hate you all, I curse you with the new and terrible knowledge of https://100jumps.org
100 Jumps

Hold to charge, release to jump. Land on 100 platforms to win — but one miss and it's over. How many attempts will it take you?

@revdjenk @williamnb.bsky.social A popular misconception, but no. Antisemitism is prejudice against Jews full stop; the word originates from the pseudo-scientific theories of Judenhass developed in 19th century Germany.

@piersb Been meaning to get a Proper Knife for ages, but there's also the Proper Sharpening Kit and Knowing How To Use The Proper Sharpening Kit to consider.

Explaining to a company I work with that traditionally, we like to schedule downtime for services in the future, not retroactively. Call me an old stick-in-the-mud.

@AdrianRiskin Damn. I hope it finds a good home where it gets restored, used and loved again. Sadly I'm a) a continent away and b) not hardwarey enough to repair it.

UPDATE: this little pup has been claimed! Thank you everyone for your interest and support!

Can you make good use of an original Commodore PET computer? This one is yours for free if you can pick it up in Los Angeles (near USC). My parents bought it in 1978. It has the famous chiclet keyboard and integral cassette tape drive. It doesn't work at this point, which someone told me is probably due to some bad RAM chips but I don't actually know. The screen shows random squares when it's on.

Boosts for reach appreciated.
