WOW. We certainly are in the stupidest timeline now ...

Clarification of what I mean:

It just so happens that I have a job, although not the best one, and it's not an office job, but it has a good schedule that gives me free time to think and create, although I guess the bottom line is that I've also learned how to use my free time for my own purposes without wasting it on unnecessary distractions like TV, Talking about nothing, about unnecessary anxieties, and so on. I recently started doing digital hygiene, switched to Linux a week ago, but I used to be able to chat with Discord people at least once in a while, even if the people there were quite boring, but it somehow helped me get rid of loneliness, but since I no longer trust Discord due to a data breach, I have no idea how to find people online for long-term communication in other places. Do you have any tips?

Let's also take into account that my hobby is writing a light novel.

And yes, I touched the grass, but I like fresh air more.

This springtail was about 1mm long. Lens: Laowa 25mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro 2.5-5X. two of the photos are focus stacked.

What is the rudest thing you can think of to call somebody in a Spanish-type language. Actual geo origin of persons unknown. all genders relevant.

genetic engineering? ai singularity perhaps? How do you intend to live forever?

I wasn't able to join the military because of it. I tried calling up my local PD and asking the source itself. Not only did they not know the answer (I'm shocked too trust me), they said I had to pass a medical test AFTER I go through all the prerequisites. So I'm asking here before I dedicate myself.

Miez has gotten quite used to going outside on her own while I keep track of her via GPS. I have this window that is divided into two parts, the smaller of which opens first. So this is the perfect exit and entry point for her.

Nachdem ich endlich verstanden habe, dass meine Miez nicht auf das etwaig nasse Fensterbrett hüpfen möchte, also habe ich ihr eine Katzentreppe mit Durchgangsschleuse gebaut.

Miez hat sich super dran gewöhnt alleine raus zu gehen, während ich per GPS genau weiß, wo sie sich rum treibt. Ich habe dieses geteilte Fenster von dem der kleinere Teil sich zuerst öffnen lässt. Das ist perfekt als Durchgang für sie.

Lately however she went outside here, then waited to be let in at the terrace (other side of the house). She refused to go back in by this window. So today I gave in and upcycled the rest of a living room wall I got from a friend (the majority went into another project).

Seit Herbst ist hat sie jedoch damit angefangen, zwar noch hinten raus zu gehen, will dann aber unbedingt vorne zur Terasse wieder rein gelassen werden, und weigert sich strikt das Fenster zu benutzen. Also hab ich ihrer Bitte Gewähr geleistet und habe den Rest der alten Wohnzimmerwand eines Freundes verbastelt (den Großteil hab ich für ein anderes Projekt gebraucht).

Miez kept a close look at every step, even defying the noise of my jigsaw at times. I think by now she knows that most of the stuff I build is for her.

Miez hat mir trotz Stichsäge stets zugeschaut. Ich denke sie weiß, dass das meiste das ich baue für sie ist.

Most of the times she interrupts me like this is to demand cuddles though.

Meistens wenn sie so nah kommt, will sie für Kuschelpausen sorgen.

As the raw material is really practical I had finished this in just a couple of hours. I'm contemplating giving the wood some additional protection, but I don't think it's worth the effort. I built the entrance way like this so less heat escapes. Once she's used to it, I'll make the openings smaller, possibly with some cat flap.

Da das Rohmaterial sehr praktisch ist, hat mich das ganze nur wenige Stunden gekostet. Ich überlege, das Holz noch besser zu schützen, aber bin mir unsicher ob es den Mehraufwand wert ist. Ich habe so eine Schleuse gebaut, damit weniger Heizwarme flöten geht. Wenn sie sich dran gewöhnt hat, mach ich die Öffnungen noch kleiner, wahrscheinlich mit ner Katzenklappe.

With a little encouragement, she went for it. Sorry for the imgur upload, I currently don't have any other video hoster (that actually deletes files when I remove them).

Mit etwas Ermutigung hat es schnell geklappt. Sorry dass ich noch imgur verwende, hab noch keine neue gute Plattform für Videouploads (die entfernte Sachen auch wirklich löscht).

How's everyone doing? I'm New here i live in United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and am loving thus website so far.

Hostile spy agencies are now as focused on infiltrating western universities and companies as they are on doing so to governments, according to the former head of Canada’s intelligence service.

David Vigneault warned that a recent “industrial-scale” attempt by China to steal new technologies showed the need for increased vigilance from academics.

"The frontline has moved, from being focused on government information to private sector innovation, research innovation and universities,” he told the Guardian in his first interview since leaving the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which is part of the “Five Eyes” intelligence sharing alliance with the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Vigneault said China’s leadership had been on a long programme of military regeneration after being horrified by how swiftly the US army took over Iraq in 2003.

Beijing decided to invest in “asymmetric capabilities” and steal as much technical knowledge as possible from the west.

Facing a backlog of school discrimination cases, the U.S. Department of Education has asked hundreds of employees it fired months ago to temporarily return to work.

A Dec. 5 email obtained by USA TODAY shows the agency ordered a significant portion of staffers in the Office for Civil Rights to come back later this month. In the "return to duty" directive, officials acknowledged they're facing a sizable caseload of civil rights complaints, and they underscored a need to utilize every resource at the government’s disposal to work through them.

The agency said the request applies to roughly 250 workers who've been on administrative leave for months amid legal challenges to their March firings. Julie Hartman, the Education Department's press secretary for legal affairs, stressed there still aren't any plans to fully rehire those workers permanently.

In order to monitor encrypted communication, investigators will in future, according to the Senate draft and the Änderungen der Abgeordneten, not only be allowed to hack IT systems but also to secretly enter suspects' apartments.

If remote installation of the spyware is technically not possible, paragraph 26 explicitly allows investigators to "secretly enter and search premises" in order to gain access to IT systems. In fact, Berlin is thus legalizing – as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania did before – state intrusion into private apartments in order to physically install Trojans, for example via USB stick.

The Interior Department has ordered national parks to review and remove gift shop items related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

This directive is part of a broader effort to keep park gift shops as "neutral spaces that serve all visitors."

The order follows executive actions by Donald Trump targeting DEI programs across the federal government.

National parks have been ordered to check their gift shops for items that support programs like diversity, equity and inclusion – and remove them.

The studio behind the Postal franchise just announced that it will be publishing a brand new Postal game, to be developed by Goonswarm Games. Unfortunately, it even more recently announced it would be cancelling said game, due to accusations that Goonswarm had used generative AI in its development.
