If glowforge had a non-subscription option to use their built in drawing software I'd use it off and on.

Instead I just say nasty things about them because they will sell a school a machine that costs thousands of dollars then want $50 bucks a month for the privilege of drawing a circle with the thing.

You can easily use any software that makes SVG doc and upload them. It's not at the level of a lock-out scam, but if you don't work with SVGs often this is very annoying.

What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness
What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it's fame and money, you're not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, you're mistaken. As the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. In this talk, he shares three important lessons learned from the study as well as some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on how to build a fulfilling, long life.
Psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, Zen priest

Robert Waldinger is the director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, one of the most comprehensive longitudinal studies in history.

Geen nieuws dat Geert Wilders meteen begint te schreeuwen na zo'n verschrikkelijke aanslag als van gisteren. Nu blijkt dat de dader eerder een aanhanger van Wilders en consorten was dan van Mohammed. Dat valt Wilders niet aan te rekenen, de man was kennelijk gestoord. Maar hij is na Breivik al de tweede moordenaar die openlijk fan is van Wilders. Tijd voor enige zelfreflectie, meneer W.! En niet alleen maar verontwaardigd zeggen dat je hier natuurlijk niks mee te maken hebt. Dit is gevaarlijk.

#Musk and #Twitter /#x do not have so much power over whole populations opinion, because so many people follow their tweets, but because the #media is constantly #repeating what is said on this sodden piece of #technology

Media that should be #independent is repeating this horrific #authoritarian for free, helping to plant his ideas in the brains of millions he could not reach otherwise

In an attempt to protect his methane leakage regulations, Biden is pressuring EU officials to designate US LNG exports that meet new EPA methane regs as equivalent to EU standards for gas imports.

Success would give LNG sector strong incentive to maintain EPA rules & make it hard for Trump to roll them back.

Good #Slackerday Saturday morning, my fedi-folks.👋

It's a cold n cloudy start to #myday. Just a nippy 35deg and breezy. The sun is again supposed to show up n break through the clouds and shine pretty much all day #today, and warm things up a bit into the low 40s. 🌞

But, I don't think that will make it warm enough to sneek some sun soaking time outside #today, though. Especially with the cold wind blowing. But, we will just have to sit n sip n see how things develop.

So, I'm sitting here, sipping my coffee and pondering #myday, and am suddenly struck that #today is winter solstice day.

It's kinda appropriate that the shortest day of the year happens to fall on a #Slackerday. It being a day of only a few musta-dos and gotta-dos and so little daylight to do em in. But with all the pondering, procrastinating, and puttering about to get to doin em, I'm wondering if there will still be enough time in #myday to get em all done by dusk. 🤔

200 families from Tataskweyak Cree Nation won’t get Christmas hampers after a funding request under Jordan’s Principle was denied by Indigenous Services Canada for not meeting their criteria. The hampers were cancelled after groceries had already been purchased, leaving an Inuk-owned company out $20,000.

🤯☹️ Insurers refusing to cover prosthetic limbs, and lenders repossessing prosthetic limbs for non-payment.

Again, it feels like we are approaching an endgame.

What it is or when it will be, I don’t know.

Slovakia and Hungary had three years to find alternatives to their addiction on Russian methane.

They didn't do jack shit towards doing that and now they want to put the blame on Ukraine because they're letting the contract to allow it to be piped across their country lapse as is their right.

Being addicted to fossil fuels is horrible for the soul.

This is from the PM of Slovakia btw.

Puzzling ATAX tax news yesterday

Update 12/21/2024: I am aware that at least two major media outlet tax reporters saw my post about this on social media but still no follow-up published, as far as I can see. Puzzling tax news yesterday: AI news digests suggest that the Rafael Alvarez of ATAX indicted in New York yesterday in one of the biggest tax fraud cases in U.S.
