Huh, weird. I have no issues accessing it, but apparently bypass bots like 1ft.io are also blocked. It’s a big Israeli newspaper.

From the IDF response.

Great start into the week, got a new personal best for my morning run, 6.8 km. And my wife is going to start a B2 German course + employment course (whatever that means) paid for by the unemployment agency.

On the negative sides, money continues to be tight, and it’s another month I’ll postpone buying that Sesotho course I want. The Christmas bonus in December should help there. I also gained weight, 2kg. I guess the now regular exercise is making me hungrier.

This is a bit confusing, how do they know there are over 1500 Israelis who signed? Nothing is stopping me from signing the pledge, the site even encourages me to. But I’m not an Israeli.

PDF of the actual publication

Other publications including case studies for specific countries, gender equality reports and more.

If someone thought he was innocent, SBF would probably "well, actually…" them.

Fair enough.

The potential fines are nothing to scoff at, and reported plans are expensive, so there’s a good chance they’ll try and be compliant.

The soapy water cleans off when drying and leaves them clean. Two stages are wasting water, and extra work.

I like Merzbow… for one, maybe two songs at a time and then it needs to stop ;) I prefer the faster tracks like Bariken though.

Shredded shouldn't be an issue, unless they're was weird stuff in there. But maybe high acidity was an issue.

Great start of the week, as Martin Luther did his thing tomorrow a few years ago, and for a few years we now had a public holiday for him ;)

Also, after starting to do cardio for the first time since childhood last week, I managed to start again today morning. And surpass last week, running for 4800 meters. I was confused why it was so much brighter, bit but more people around in the morning, till I was reminded later in the day, that DST ended ;)

That's weird, never had that issue. First thoughts: too much citrate, nothing but cheese ( so no liquid), to much heat. Any of those?

I don’t.

Only I wasn’t, and I didn’t insult you. But I have no more interest in discoursing with you.

I really don’t understand why people get so aggressive when talking about their dishwashers.

But water?

Give me a number. I use 6-8 L of water no matter how many dishes I have. From what I read, that’s about in line with the most efficient dishwashers.

The only things you can’t put in there are knives, as well as nonstick and wooden items.

Also, both ceramic and carbon steel pans, and my SS bowls would IIRC lose their shine if machine washed.

I guess I don’t mind 10 minutes of cleanup instead of ~4 that much when cooking itself is a 30-60 minute thing.

This has been regurgitated over and over again in recent days. But what none of the articles talk about, is that for many, and I’d guess actually the majority of people, the editorial part never mattered. I’ve been using and praising Bandcamp for over a decade (first album bought in February 2010), and last week was the first time I ever opened their blog. It’s not bad, but also very clearly not something I’ll miss.

Now, yes, that sucks for people who always read that blog (though I’ve also never once seen a post of them shared anywhere I am). And yeah, Songtradr might turn out to be bad (I used the collection downloader to redownload everything as FLAC after the announcement, just in case), but for me and others like me, it might simply change nothing. And while the stop of BC Friday would suck, one also has to remember that it was a relatively new thing that the old Bandcamp never did for most of its life.

What maters for me: That they keep paying bands and labels their share, keep free streams of un-bought items, and keep a wide array of download formats. If those things stay, then BC did not lose its soul, but stayed true to its core.

Some people like to think they’re super water-efficient doing the dishes, but they’re not; dishwasher saves water.

About that. I know of one study done in Europe on this, and it was paid for by dishwasher companies, and didn’t exclude outliers like the guy who used about 400L of water doing the dishes by hand.

I once measured water and power usage of me doing the dishes by hand, and it was both below what I found online for dishwashers.

If you do 2-stage cleaning (soapy hot and cold clean water), then dishwashers will be better because they don’t. Amount and source of hot water governs if you are more energy efficient. The advantage of dishwashers is that a badly used dishwasher is far more efficient than badly (= wasteful) handwashing, and even efficient handwashing is not much better than dishwashers (though I wouldn’t know how to calculate production and recycling of the dishwasher itself, not even what order of magnitude that is). Which was, as far as I remember, also in the conclusion of the study, unless there has been another one since then.
