I will never judge what or who you put in your body.
But I will absolutely judge if, you decide to still use a font that doesn't provide the diacritics (é, à, etc.) and those letters defaults to another font in the middle of your sentences. 😭

I'm in the market for a weighted blanket. I've read it must be 10% of your weight but I don't know much about those. Does anyone have any experience with them, tips on how to choose one?

Okay people I need you to stop making fun of the Apple socket. I had a socket on my Nokia 3310 and it worked well to protect it. It's called vintaaaage okay?

Gosh, I end up blocking so many followers. Sorry not sorry I have zero interest in an account with 67k followers and 89k followings just because they did some growthacking. Also, bot accounts, gosh, nope, bye. I want a place to chat, share and interact with humans. 🤷♂️

Huge parts of human knowledge are missing from the internet. By definition, generative AI is shockingly ignorant too. AI systems rely mostly on Western, English-dominant data, excluding oral, Indigenous, and low-resource languages.

Okay folks that's it, I'm turning Vampire Diaries into a hydration drinking game. Get tea, spice latte, water, any hydration beverage.
Everytime they drink
- a beer: 1 sip
- strong alcohol: 2 sips
- blood: 3 sips
Damon kills someone: 5 sips (yes even if the someone might / will revive)
🧛♀️🩸

A read-only text field is focusable. And confusing to users.
If you add `tabindex="-1"` and/or `pointer-events: none`, admit it’s wrong and make it plain text instead.
If you use it anyway, style it so it’s clear (good luck). Here are my shitty styles: adrianroselli.com/2019/09/unde...

Meanwhile on the balcony:
- Pineapple sage blooms and is getting out of control in the DIY plant tower (anyone in Luxembourg wants some? It's nice as herbal tea)
- I got a mini cauliflower
- Raspberries who didn't have any fruits in spring got all the fruits now. It's 10°C...
Make it make sense 😅

Current status: I'm still testing the Cricut Maker 4, so, enjoy some little sticker mat removal ASMR
(I had a small issue in the middle because it's a new mat so it sticks quite well, but the cut is very clean, love it).
