Fuck the snow.

Btw can I just say I love trains? Trains are great. I'd take a train any day of the week happily if it wasnt for the trauma of my time in university being rough tied to trains.

Syn @synthewriter.bsky.social · 6d

I love how some people in talk to got confused about where I am in the world just because I use Celcius and have been taking trains for a work thing this week.

Amongst all the graffiti i see on train cars, nothing has been so unique as a big kiddie goth gf painted on the side of a coal car.

Then my contacts brought tears to my eyes because my doofus ass cant keep my eyes shut while wearing them.

Just watched a short on how to make corsets in Warframe.

What the fuck is this game.

Hello #motosky, does anyone have recommendations for motorcycle mirrors for a Triumph Daytona Moto2? The stock ones are great for looking at my shoulders, but I feel like I should be able to see the road. I'd prefer not bar-ends but I'll make do if thats my only option.

I slapped my pipe back on my motorcycle today. Couldn't hear my motorcycle at all on the commute into work. Big sad.

Literally crying someone send help I cant possibly leave the house anymore

My pretty 2 year old Golden aussie sits against her favorite armrest atop of two green pillows and stares into your soul, showing intense anxiety about you leaving her all alone. (She is actually just sleepy from zoomies).

Dude I want to be mad at Bluesky for this but they are just "complying with local laws". But yeah absolutely fuck this and fuck this KWS company. We should all report this to the BBB for the scam it looks like and is.

Going into the process to "verify I am an adult", the company asking to scrape my data is also asking for private banking and government information. Honestly, it looks like a straight up scam.

Syn @synthewriter.bsky.social · 28d

Bro this is literally a whole process of giving them consent to scrape for my data.

A screenshot from an email essentially stating that this KWS company will scrape the internet for information related to my existence just to "prove I am an adult". And if it cannot scrape enough information I have to manually load it in.

How about we don't and lobby politicians to not listen and fall to the whims of credit card companies and Karens from the land down under?

At the top of my feed was this banner that reads "The laws in your location require you to verify you're an adult to access certain features. Tap to learn more.".

Just in time for the beginning of the riding season, I got myself new motorcycle mirrors. Turns out when your shoulders take up 76% of your view, that isn't safe!

Suck it nerds my collection is finally complete!!!

In Warframe I, at time of this post, obtained the blueprint for the sword weapon called Broken War, arguably still one of the best sword-class melee weapons in the game, and also the rarest.

I have been working with a gas chromatograph so much lately that I stopped and went "What the hell does a gc have to do with genitals?".

Woo, finally free of a third of my debt!

Remember folks, if something is at 100 degrees C and you have to touch something that is bolted onto the hot thing, the hot thing will also make the thing you wanna touch AND the bolt around 100 degrees C.

Moral of the story: Hot things are hot.

Does anyone have experience with clearing a MS transfer line that is blocked with a broken column and possibly bits of ferrule? And of so, can I actually use a guitar string to clear the line?

I spend 20 minutes writing an email for my coworker to send to our department and Regulatory. I get her to review it, then let her take credit for it.

Different coworker reads the email. "Oh wow this was so eloquently written, I like the details! Did ChatGPT quickly write it?"

Mother fucker what t

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.
