@dec_hl Why not "Borg Technologies" ?
Il y a 3 semaines, quand la coiffeuse m’a suggéré de couper très court, je lui ai dit « vas-y, fais toi plaisir »
Comme aujourd’hui 3 personnes m’ont dit que ça me va bien, je crois que je vais rester comme ça!

I see that the neighborhood birds give zero fucks about seeds sown for lawns.
Can’t begrudge these cute little brats the seed buffet.
Ooh, I wonder if I should make my Quite Rubbish clock concept even more rubbish and have it display the time as a QR Code of the current Swatch .Beats Internet Time?

No actual crickets were harmed in the making of this video. Although they stopped chirping pretty quickly (it was -5 °C outside, and these stop at 10 °C) they soon warmed up and started chirping again when I took them back inside

A bucket of chirping Raspberry Pi Pico “crickets”. Each of them chirp at a slightly different pitch, and their chirp speed is controlled by the internal temperature sensor according to a formula observed by Amos Dolbear in 1897

I may have spent more of today than I'll admit in creating tiny beepy things with #MicroPython that chirp in accordance with Dolbear's “law” of cricket chirp rate vs temperature
That time I made a real-life SimStapler© Simulator — https://scruss.com/blog/2020/04/25/simstapler-simulator/
I sit paralyzed
on the edge of the bed
while she slowly packs away
a lifetime of memories
blankly staring
with tearful eyes
at our dissolution..
This is
our forever goodbye..
The final chapter
of this surreal tragedy
our love could not forestall..
Opportunity lost
at the bridge
I could not cross..
My damn pride
sabotaged it all..
Past the point of no return..
I peer out the window..
She closes the trunk
then backs out of the driveway
glancing up
one last time..
Our eyes meet
as I whisper
one last #futile
"I'm sorry"
"So which one is which?" the poor woman said, turning round in circles.
"This is Dr. Banya Angeli," said Zaza, indicating Bebe. "And this is Lanya, Manya, Nanya, Panya, Ranya, Sanya, and Tanya. And I am Dr. Zanya Angeli."
"So this is…" she said, making a spirited, but #futile effort to keep track.
"Let me guide you to…"
"Just one moment," Zaza said. "We're still waiting for our Chief Scientist."
Just then Racy appeared at the next berth down. "Ah! Good of you to join us, Dr. Daring."
And still, there are wars and plagues, said the little ghost Belle. How futile it all is.
There is the sun again, said the ronin. There is nothing futile about affirming Peace and love.
This documentation is as useful to anyone as a podcast is for the hearing impaired.

Doing #good can feel #hopeless, #futile. This #quote from The Twin Towers film resonated with me:
Theoden: "So much death. What can [people] do against such reckless #hate?"
Aragorn: "Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them."
- #LOTR: The Twin Towers (#movie)
Interestingly Theoden doesn't catch the vision. He focuses on personal glory, Aragorn continues to desire the greater good. Despite the impure motivations...well, if you haven't seen/read it, I'll not ruin it for you.
