Last Notes npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Soooo uuuuuh I went to the best string instruments shop in town and mysteriously returned home with a new-to-me uke!!?!? It's a vintage Hรถfner soprano. Which is hilarious, with it being from West Germany (!) and all. Our best guess is this was manufactured somewhere between the 1960s and 1980s. It is basically in mint condition, it's absolutely wild. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ on the bright side, I've attached my #Charmera to my every day carry bag and I love just being able to take 2000s digicam style pictures without getting out my phone. Here's an example picture I took with it two weeks ago. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Did I pre-order the #Commodore 8020 because it comes in a translucent colourway and it has a T9 keypad and it runs #SailfishOS and, oh, also because it is literally what I have been waiting for for a decade? npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @nprofileโฆ6jyx I don't know whether this one would fit the bill, but: we have a Philips 2000 series that we really like. We grabbed it on a sale not too long ago (I was late to the air fryer bandwagon ๐ , so can't speak to longevity yet!) npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @nprofileโฆ8p63 uh... yes? we know? your point being? npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ me, this morning, yet again ๐ซฉ๐ฉ npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Now that I have an annual pass for the Muttart: Do I know anyone who has visited during the adults-only hours on Wed evenings, and knows how admissions work there? npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @nprofileโฆ6jyx It's amazing. I had to work today, but was SO glad my workday ended before the Earth came into view, and before loss of signal. I really wanted to witness both. ๐ฅน npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ ๐ฅบ what a day npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ "annual performance review" time at work. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ good morning fedi npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Had to buy a new calculator because my current one, a Casio fx911-ESPLUS from middle school (!!), is too advanced for an upcoming exam. Sigh. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ oh. uh. neat npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ OK so I've learned a couple really neat things about #HUGO and #RSS feeds (thanks to an inquiry by @nprofileโฆm5ke): npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ ๐ผ Fastest country Canadaaaa npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ ooo ooo ooo there is a #GoodInternet in my inbox!!! ๐ค ๐ @nprofileโฆvj9r npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ OK so I was able to get @nprofileโฆ60xv sync going with a different email address. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ No way. The fascist didn't give up his fascist takeover plans simply because he was Asked Nicely!? Well, colour me surprised. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ OK so. A City plow just came through our alley. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Was just looking up a Slack channel at work, and directly in the search bar, Slack suggested I try their "AI search". npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ > While actual AI isn't fit to replace anything or anyone, it does work as an engine of precaritisation and marginalisation, of Uber and algorithmic welfare cuts, It's an apparatus that crudely extracts as much encoded human knowledge as it can in order to provide a shoddy substitute for key social functions like education and healthcare, while further concentrating wealth and power. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @nprofileโฆdtdq The point is that avocados are now cheaper than cucumbers though? npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ hey uh. I think we may need to update the Avocado Toast meme. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @nprofileโฆvs9y This makes me feel better (well, uh, in a way.) ๐
npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ So uh... Was this much snow in anyone's forecast for today? This morning, mine said "1-2mm of snow", another one I saw said "flurries possible in the afternoon." npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ have you all heard this song? npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @nprofileโฆvs9y npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Come one come all! Saturday, Nov 8, noon. Protest at the Alberta Legislature because Reddit updoots and Mastodon likes can only do so much. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ Is...

A LOT. ๐คฃ npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @npub1k4qโฆ3lsq so that's f*cking awful and I'm sorry you and your kids had to experience that. That is some serious entitlement (and racism) on that woman. Wow. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @npub16mzโฆhm5n Oooh the joy. :/ sorry this happened to you. As a fellow Wheezy... I first developed asthma after I moved to yeg. Somehow have a hunch the air quality here had something to do with that. Could have been just one bad substance in your case though, since you mentioned the bad smell. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ OK this has to be one of my favourite #NotJustBikes videos yet. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @npub16mzโฆhm5n Oh geez. This should never have happened & I'm sorry for all the additional work this makes you do. npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ :ThisIsFine: npub1r7mg6mv6v04z8n63hsaw5rrs5rf6tf0xlps3v5xm9lkqtck6479qt4cp49 robyn ๐พ @npub16mzโฆhm5n I was in a call with someone in Montreal earlier, and suddenly they went "oh sorry just one sec" <mutes> <comes back> Me: "Everything ok?
