Kid wanted an IKEA Blåhaj for their birthday and the quickest way was to order it “click and collect” to a Tesco.
However, this process *actually* involves an IKEA delivery driver parking his van in a quiet corner of the dark Tesco car park and giving you a call to say you have to be there in 20 minutes or he’s gone.
Fortunately the exchange passed off smoothly and the kid is now the proud owner of a full-size Blåhaj, and a briefcase full of Libyan plutonium.
sooo... does this mean Venezuela get to yoink Trump to free the USians from their apparently dodgy president?
"Trump to be tried under Venezuelan child-abuse and corruption laws"
hmm.
and for all those saying this gives Putin a carte-blanche to grab Zelenski, I'd also say that the reverse is surely also true if more difficult to pull off...
not going to bet against Ukraine managing it though
@book @pluralistic The CCC does a fantastic job of hosting this info on their own site without all of the unnecessary yucky shite that Youtube does to it's users. Many people would benefit from you linking there instead of youtube. Here is the relevant link if you would like to edit your og post.

Also exposed: it's a sausage fest, with almost no women. Shocker.
I'm coining it now: "Fashley Madison."

January 3rd 2026 - doom-scrolling at its best
Launched Notepad on Windows 11 and found that they 1) added CoPilot and 2) automatically logged me into an account. I don't use a Microsoft account for Windows but one is required to install Office. They had no business reusing that signin for any software outside of Office. I just want a damned plain text editor.
Assholes. DIAF.
My dad made me a Vesa compatible holder for my oscilloscope and it turned out great! Just as imagined. Of course, it is a massive steel construction, we both would not trust a 3D printed construction with my dear Rigol.
