Ever since I injured my vocal chords (they’re mostly fine by now) I lost my Awooo. My last con made it obvious to me. I just can’t do it anymore

Great. They brought me Meta AI on my Garmin. FOR WHAT ON EARTH do I NEED Mark Zuckerbots AI on my bicycle satnav?! (That can only use very slow Internet over Bluetooth from my phone)

Great, I got a vocalcord hemorrhage. A big one. Happened at a restaurant and really confused the waiter because ich was taking normal and the next time they came I sounded like I should be in bed drinking tea And it’s for the stupidest reason because I choked on my drink and had to cough pretty hard

Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who misses the battery tester on old Duracells. Why did the got rid of it? It was so useful!

I really can’t open any from of social media anymore without getting spoiled of Zootopia 2. Wish I could see the movie but I can’t go alone and no one is interested to drive with me to a different city because that’s the only cinema which has it in 2D. That RealD stuff makes me really sick.

Is that aging? I’m so happy that I finally conquered the gyroscopic issues of my washing machine. It always had a small, specific rpm range right before it spins where it rotated itself in place a couple degrees. Got some thin AEG silicone pads and now it stays like bolted on.

If you’re a vinyl nerd and wanna stress test your system, get the Telarc version of Tchaikovskys 1812. Be warned, it’s totally capable of damaging the stylus and or blow out your speakers. The groove looks like rice fields when the cannons set in as they recorded actual cannons for this xD

Even the streaming version listened through the right headphones makes my glasses fall from my face. And the streaming version smoothes out the extreme energy below 30hz. Listened through my big Elac speakers it’s a truly gut punching experience and I got nauseous because of it

Apparently remixing a video is now more important to YouTube than the name of the channel yore watching. That one got shoved up a line next to the views counter. That platform is literally destroying itself as we speak. Btw check out their video on the Coca Cola AI Christmas ad

Had to fix the viewfinder display of my new to me Nikon F90X, the little prism got knocked loose. So I glued it back in. The tape holds 15kg/1m and I used 2 pieces 7x4mm, so it’s glued with 46g. The prism weighs 1.7g and it’s held on 3 sides by the case. I would call it a permanent fix.

BTW I might add, there is a Chinese tutorial on how to fix this problem and they made a mistake in there that will break the camera. The top casing comes off very easy, but not after only removing the 8 screws on the top casing as they say but also the 2 screws in the battery compartment.

Needless to say that you need a very long and thin screwdriver to reach them and it’s necessary to use a JIS driver, even tho it looks the same as philips/+. They are different and you will strip the screws if you use a + driver on there.

BTW it’s a dick move by Nikon to use JIS00 screws with the same length but different thread pitch. And the thread is so small that the difference isn’t visible to the naked eye. Had to sort the screws under the microscope.

It took me longer to screw the casing back on than to fix the prism in the viewfinder. 5min to fix the prism, which a camera technician charges 100 bucks for and 20min to sort the screws and put them back to where they belong. Don’t wanna cut me threads in 30yo plastic…

So, the update to the experiment with my dad: This is the one he got for me. He was so interested himself, that he bought two copies, so he can read one too. My dad, 57, just started to read Mangas lmao

My dad is in Leipzig right now and I started an experiment: I told him to visit the manga store and pick one up for me. The rules were that it has to be the first book of a series and that he is not allowed to ask the workers for help. I got the message that he picked one up. I wonder what it’ll be!

Btw this is the text in English: Tales from a Mysterious World. The world is filled with enigmatic beings - both a source of danger and wonder. Neither animal nor plant, they exist in close harmony with nature. Only a handful of people can see them or even know they exist. They are called “Mushi.”

Ginko is a Mushishi - a wanderer who studies the nature of these creatures and helps those who come into contact with them. But there are many secrets surrounding Ginko himself as well…

This is probably the silliest thing I‘m doing in recent history, but a friend came up with a bet, that I can’t get @bad-dragon.com to follow me. And he’s right, the only thing I’m able to do is to politely ask. So do you wanna help me out to get my 5€? lmao

The differences between PC and Mac: Forgot to turn both off when I went on con vacation for 3 weeks. Mac: Shrugs it off and complains that my Backup target was turned off for 3 weeks. PC: Breaks the whole windows installation and makes me work an hour to get it back up and running.

I don’t watch TV so the whole Ralf Schuhmacher thing passed me by unnoticed. But why is he on MY instagram now? You can’t flee. He’s gonna get you one day apparently. And then he buys your car.

Finally!

3h delay on my train home because of Trainsurfers. Saw them and called the cops. Actually the Bundespolizei, the German equivalent of the FBI. They were trying to climb on top of the engine on the moving train. Overhead wire has 15kV. So instead of 9pm I’m home now, at midnight.

Sometimes I wonder what my dog thinks. Every day she begs for my afternoon coffee and at some point I started pointing the mug towards her. She immediately steps back and gives me a look like I insulted her whole family. But when I continue to drink my coffee, she also starts begging for it again.

I just learned, that part of my daily commute, pretty much in front of my door, is a Strava segment. It’s 333 meters with a 4% incline. Current KoM time is 28 seconds. Now I need to beat whoever is current record holder. No more commuting speed up there. It’s race time from now on

The W in BMW stand for a very bad word in German which I won’t elaborate. Overtaking me while I’m signaling and doing a left turn is a dick move. If it wasn’t the fact that their license plate was dirty I would’ve filed a police report. Emergency braking on a bike while tuning is insanely dangerous

Ok, apparently this is a thing. This was above the house for a couple minutes before it just disappeared. Had to google it, apparently that happens when a rocket dumps fuel in space.

I wonder how many elevator foamers gonna be drooling over the completely original Otis Europa 2000 Elevator in the Apt Building I just moved into

I talked a Friend of mine into making furry art for the first time and they drew a ref for another friend as a little challenge. I think it turned out pretty good actually. Maybe show them some love over on instagram as it’s their only social media. @ kunst_vagabund @ penartrebel (old account)

Buses have two modes. Too early or too late. Today I had the early type. It left whole 10min early. Therefore I missed it. I have to wait 30min in the cold and then another 30 at my changeover as I won’t make my connection. Maybe the next one is early as well so I don’t have to wait as long 🤷‍♂️

Die AfD bekämpft man, indem man die wahren Probleme der Menschen löst: Wohnkosten, Arbeitsplatz, Pflegenotstand, Kinder- & Altersarmut, Beteiligungsdefizite, Bildungsgerechtigkeit, marode Infrastruktur, fehlende Zukunftsvisionen. Das Wahlprogramm der AfD & Weidel schweigen hierzu. #PIRATEN

Heads up to all fellow Beatsaber Streamers/ Players who use the Cinema mod for music video integration. It stopped working a couple days ago as yt changed stuff. The mod got last updated in 03/23. Replace the yt-dlp and ffmpeg exe files in the libs folder with the newest version and it works again ✌️
