@silas sure you can. I mean, if you can make the UK a tart of the union of the United Socialist European Republics, why not Canada? The same head of state, after all. You can do Australia too for that matter.But then, why would you want to

Mew china junk just came. I must say that as far as 30-ish euro BT/USB/dongle-wireless keyboards go, this motherfucker looks pretty darn good. Scissors-style switches, the chassis actually is machined aluminum as advertised so there's almost no flex there, and it comes with a cable, unlike that EU stuff!They come with a bunch of color schemes too. Here's the AliExpress link if anyone's interested: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ezhf11K

@fuknukl that's the Mac shit. The chinamen decided to make those things universal. That's why you have system switching labels on A, S and D keys

I usually don't have much empathy for lower forms of life, like invertebrates, socialist and such, but here I do feel guilty. I should have rigged some sort of failsafe. Damn

@h4890 that'd be good for Ukraine, no question there, for the rest of Europe though... Let's say the jury is still out.It would definitely be bad for me personally though. I mean, given my background and the fact that I'm technically still in Polish active reserve, there's a good chance they'd recall me to active duty and send me to the eastern front of it really goes sideways. Needless to say, it's not something I'm looking forward to.

@h4890 unfortunately I turned 18 before Poland suspended mandatory conscription, so no, I can't just opt out. I'd need to develop a severe disability or turn 64. That's kinda what it is once you're sworn in in Poland.Then again, I live in Italy, so I guess I could possibly dodge it... 🤔

@Autumn I don't know about that stuff, but if you're looking for semi-natural bug spray, plant lemongrass in some pots. When it grows tall enough to be "mowed", you chop it up, stick it in a bottle and pour alcohol in. Even IPA does the job if you don't intend to drink it.You let it sit for a few weeks and there you have it. Just don't smoke while you're spraying the stuff ;)

@Autumn I've tried it with isopropyl alcohol and 95% ethanol. Worked pretty much the same. Never tried it with vodka, but since vodka is 40% ethanol, it would probably work too, just that you'd need to wait longer because it won't be as good as solvent as pure-ish alcohol is.

@Autumn by the way, you can do pretty much the same thing with cinnamon, assuming you can find it at a reasonable price.Funny enough, most of the aromatic compounds we find in spices are actually insert repellants and you can extract them via maceration in alcohol.

If anyone's into antiques and shit, here's something that might be a nice score: a bronze cast of Napoleon Bonaparte's funeral mask. Signed by his physician too.https://www.centromercatoantiquariato.it/products/maschera-funebre-in-bronzo-di-napoleone-bonaparte-del-1800

@carolen yeah, also don't mind the fact that the solar energy hitting the planet is about 1.2 - 1.3 kW per square meter, which makes everything that people do, like, a fart in a hurricane.

@carolen you know what, fuck it. I'll go full geek on this one.1.3 kW per square meter, average albedo is 0.3 (30% gets reflected), half the planet is always exposed to direct sunlight, the radius of the planet is, like, 6400 kilometers, so....1287e+14 square metres target ish....1.17e+17 kilowatts that's not reflected.Now, total power generation that people do nowadays is about 3.5 terawatts.Not even in the ballpark of something that would be noticable, so even if we really tried....

@EvolLove @carolen yeah, I'm just pointing out that even if we were to use all the energy we generate to actively heat the planet up, we wouldn't even generate noise in the data, let alone cause global warming.

@fuknukl some would argue we're already in WW3. Just saying.
