Copenhagen is an island and has been the capital of Denmark since 1433 when their island chief violently conquered the Danish mainland. He established a new capital and named it Koben-Havn (Cope-Havers) to mock mainlanders upset about being conquered.

Yes I don’t know any good engineers who talk about their code like it’s artisan bread. It’s like a locomotive, you can look at it and admire it, marvel at how powerful it is and how cleverly it is engineered. But its value is in what it does well, your code isn’t art. It doesn’t have value as art.

didn't know they're building a new bridge for you @wombot.quest

Ok I am thinking Brewster but if the forecast is bad then go with a lower altitude backup option like Luxmore, or Upper Caples, or Woolshed/Pinnacle, or Godley/Red Stag.

Long shot but does anyone know which are the best winter overnight hikes to do in NZ as a reasonably fit and prepared hiker on South Island, ideally in Otago, Canterbury, or Southland (yes I know I can ask DoC but they are so patronising it’s a waste of time)

People are mad about this but what happened to “fully automated luxury socialism”? What did you think “fully automated” meant? Vibes? Essays?

Perhaps the optics problem is mostly due to the fact that the left keeps talking about how stuff like AI, space rockets, giant computers, and nuclear power is evil? Do we really want to be the side that says “the future is and will be shit”? Why are we just giving away optimism as a political idea?

Honestly this is also all completely made up. The average Russian citizen knows little to nothing about the Time of Troubles and regards it as distant ancient history, not unlike if you asked an English person how the Tudors affect him today.

their culture is not your costume 😔

medieval-peasantcore is where zoomer fashion was always headed but it’s still amazing to see it take final form

I feel it’s important for Australian football, men and women, club and international, that most football games are played in right sized rectangular stadiums. You can’t beat watching a game of football from the sides in a packed rectangular stadium, it’s a peak human experience.

football is the greatest thing in the world

Holy hell! With like 10 seconds to go. Eli Adams for Socceroos bolter?

This is a riveting game of football and you can watch on FTA on 10 Drama!

Watching the English Corner League this fine morning, how’s everyone doing?

good evening bluksy

This mostly just tells you how much less they know about you than you think

Haile Gebrselassie’s 2008 running shoes (red) vs 2026 marathon running shoes (white)

The new marathon shoe tech seems to make these times like the sharksuit era world records in swimming? I wish it wasn’t so easy to say it’s the shoes but it’s clearly the shoes

You can clearly see here it is not big pharma trickery, just regulatory stupidity Coopervision is transparent about this, they are certified for 2-week use in Australia and a month in UK

This is interesting 👀 I ordered fortnightly disposable contact lenses this time instead of the monthly ones I had been using. But it’s the same lens! It’s made of the same silicon hydrogel (hydrogel = water retaining polymer). Same moisture content. Made in the same UK factory.

My emotional support rolling stock is here 🚂

morning morning morning

nooo you can’t build 1400 homes here that is my emotional support disused facility 🥺

I miss it already :/

If the universe isn't intelligently designed then why does the far side of the moon suck so bad aesthetically compared with the near side? Checkmate atheists

Hey autumn understanders, are there years when most trees forget about autumn and skip the whole shedding growing routine?

Talbingo reservoir and shrooms en route

I’m back welp

Halllo how is everyone’s Easter going? I’m in cave land.

atheists how do you explain this??

blooning

A swan came to hang out with us during the fireworks, it was very cute but it couldn’t keep still for a fireworks photo dumb bird

It’s also bloon week in Canberra. Much going on, good time to visit.

Happy Canberra New Year

No man the car does drive itself.

it was interesting to see a bunch of AI people suddenly start making BlueSky jokes about model scraping at Anthropic's expense — it's almost as if the LLM theft critique is grounded in something real and significant! nymag.com/intelligence...

the semantic ablation is coming from inside the professor claudio

Kea! 🪶

It’s so disturbing that Canberra lies south of Adelaide
