@Murray_N @wy7usa only time I have seen wire nuts ever was I think when i bought a really cheap Chinese lamp once. Or some other electrical thing. And it just came with wire nuts for free.
@Murray_N @wy7usa this one I find online for between 15 and 18€ for 50 of them. The 3 slot one for up to 4mm wires. The ones we most commonly use at work or in homes too. For the 230V 16A cables. They do more than 16 though.
So. Sure it might be a bit more expensive. But it’s also superior as in it doesn’t chew up what you put in it (haven’t used wire nuts but seems like they would), really hard to use it wrong. And I actually don’t know if wire nuts with solid and stranded wires? These do
I’m also learning that I guess you don’t use these either? Which aren’t needed for wago connectors depending on the type. But like any screw terminal these get used here.

@wy7usa @Murray_N I don’t think you are even supposed to use them on wago connectors with latches. Or their spring force cabinet terminals. Whatever they are called. The non screw terminals. I don’t like those that much though.

I babied my nasturtiums this year they went nuts in the spring. They come up naturally every year in that bed this year I goaded them on a lot. Has been nice they are struggling now during the summer but the more seeds that fall in that bed well- I know they'll be back next year easy!
I need the collective brain for some tips. A friend got diagnosed with cancer and will start chemo soon. And I read about gifts etc, but I'd like to know from survivors or those still fighting, what you'd appreciate.
I can knit and sew and will do some socks and hats as those were often mentioned from soft yarn.
But if you have more tips, also for snacks or something. Let me know.
I want to make a care box for them to bring joy, because they're amazing.
The most important part that I read online in the support group and that I wished I had is this
Edit to add *if you don’t live in the same country, there are others options mentioned on the link.
“When a person has cancer, they are often overwhelmed emotionally and physically. You want to help. Instead of asking what you can do, be specific.
Say “I’m going shopping. Can I get you anything at the grocery store or pick up your prescriptions?” Or “Can I look after your kids for a couple of hours on the weekend or after school?”
Finding out that someone you know has cancer often comes as a shock. Maybe you’ve never been through something like this with a friend or family member. What should you say? What should you do? How should you act?
Much depends on the particular chemo cocktail, but: 1. Best not to eat too much the evening after the first dose. If it is one that causes sickness, that will take some hours to kick in. 2. Ginger biscuits, crystallised ginger, all good for nibbling when queasy. 3. If the chemo causes a nasty, persistent, metallic taste, pineapple juice can help. Apparently it contains an enzyme that counteracts it. Get plenty.
all the best! I've learnt from all of my cancer surviving friends that food or snacks are really difficult - they all had literally no cravings or appetite whatsoever. Even worse: Some of their previously favourite food was spoilt for them by having it during therapy.
ymmv, but a dear friend of mine, when she started her therapy, realized she enjoyed, when she felt ok, extremely tasty food. As in, she developed a passion for wasabi and the like.
Just be there for them, let them vent, and actively listen. Not my own words, I borrowed them from an article I recently read, but they are true. That's what my wife did for me when I was in treatment. Luckily my treatment was not too bad, but what she did really helped me get through it all.
I have a friend who had breast cancer and someone knitted her a blanket to use while in chemo (because those rooms are cold) and she did. Unfortunately now that she is in remission, she cannot even look at the blanket without feeling nauseated due to having always felt sick from the chemo while she was under it. So while it was a thoughtful gift she loved, she can’t use it anymore and had to put it away in a closet. Just a thing to consider before doing all that work. Maybe save the really nice blanket as a recovery gift!
A friend of me got cancer lately. Guessing from the proud smile on her face showing the pictures of her hair-cutting-party, maybe that could be something. Grab some snacks, drinks, friends and a music box and go from a Karen long bob over punk to aang the last airbender. If you want it a little more premium and you know a fun hairdresser, hire them. For my friend, it was a very empowering experience.
does your friend collect something (like teddys or so), you might be able to do this with knitting... snacks can be difficult because chemo often does damage to the gingiva, so something hard or spicy might not be good for him
in case your friend is not used to being ill, maybe find out what types of "sitting still" things might be enjoyable, especially in case of fuzzy brain. Movies that don't require too much paying attention? Audiobooks? (Librivox has free ones, but they are public domain - perhaps try some short stories.) Friends could contribute their favorites, and they could be shared, borrowed, library trips could be made for her. Let her know it's ok to rest when she needs to. That is a gift.
a blanket would be a good supplement to the socks and hat (though not necessarily that you have to make it). My friend would nap on the couch for days after a chemo session, and he's the most fit person I know. Just having the blanket there on the couch meant he could sleep whenever he felt like it.
I know you are a distance away, but when my best friend was getting chemotherapy, I would go to the hospital, wait for her treatment to finish, and give her a ride home. We'd get her set up in a comfortable spot to rest. Her husband took her to the hospital when he went to work.
She said at the time she only wanted to see her daughter finish high school and go to college. Several degrees and honors later, plus a grandchild to spoil, and my friend is well.
I haven't walked down that road, but know that the best medicine is an escape. It's the ability to stop thinking and feeling that shit for a while.
On that level, I suggest the C D Payne book, "Youth in Revolt". I've given away over a hundred copies and gotten nothing back but, "that was the funniest book I've ever read".
Bless you! It would depend on the type of chemo. Mine involved sitting for 3 hours at an infusion center, so fun things to pass the time might be appreciated.
My friend has cancer and during chemo suffered from dry mouth and dry skin, especially on hands and lips. Careproducts for skin and lips might be a good idea (best for sensitive skin and probably without perfume). Someone else suggested candy. She liked lemony flavours because they helped produce saliva.
A dear friend gave me this bag so I could keep my comfort items close during the infusions. I would recommend asking about what kind of chemo would they be getting, since side effects vary wildy depending on the medication. I was treated for colon cancer so I didn’t lose my hair, and one of the major side effects was the soles of my feet burning. I couldn’t stand socks!

There is a whole army of hasbara trolls, paid propagandists and willing genocide supporters out there telling us how outraged they are about a musician shouting "Death to the IDF" in public.
The same people who don't want you to remember Hind Rajab and the other 20000+ children murdered by IDF and the millions being starved right now.
The IDF is a Nazi group and Bob Vylan are not calling for the destruction of an ethnicity, a religion, a nation. They are calling for the destruction of a genocidal army. Just like the South African Defence Forces of the South African Apartheid era absolutely deserved to be destroyed as a criminal organization, so do the Israeli Defence Forces of the Israeli Apartheid era.

@ricen85404 As far as I remember, that's a graphic I posted on the chat of Pepper&Carrot quite long ago. I think the topic was guessing the height of Thyme.
Can I ask, what's your motivation behind asking this and digging on the temporary screenshots or log of years ago on the chat channel?... Something feels off about this, especially adding to this your nickname with a random number and no avatar, and the fact you use this account only to send me questions.
I'm sorry, I'm a fan of Pepper&Carrot and there are details and curiosities of your work that interest me. If you don't like me asking you can telling me.
@ricen85404 Ha in this case, excuse me; it's fine. I just had probably too many PM of direct question about Pepper size in the past (from people wanting to project their sexuality on her) and I become defensive on this topic.
It seems it's not just ICE anymore. Now we may have bounty hunters kidnapping people. Certainly we have unidentified, armed thugs kidnapping people off the street and putting them in warehouses unless they agree to "voluntarily" leave the country.
I'm sorry, but I'm going there. This situation deserves an armed community response. Locate her via her cell phone, arrive in force, and free the hostages.
Juli Pelaez Calderon said she is in an unknown warehouse with many other and believes her captors are bounty hunters, she said during a recent phone call to family.

I have a friend who is looking to run a few simulations he has implemented in python and needs around 256GB of ram. He is estimating it will take a couple of hours, but he is studying economics so take that with a grain of salt 🤣
For this instance, I recommended GCP, but I felt a bit dirty doing that. So, I was wondering if any of you have a buttload of memory he can burrow? Generally, would you lend your RAM for a short amount of time to a stranger over the internet? (assuming internet acccess is limited to a signle ssh port, other necessary safeguards are in place)
We don't need another technical solution to this madness. We need legislation that blocks all batshit crazy AI companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and others from stealing from artists & writers (I'm mean they are using pirated books and getting away with it, so what makes you think they will pay for that blog post or art?). This is like putting a Band-Aid on the problem. They stole everything, and got away with it.
They stole all your codes, art, books, videos, and everything else out there. This solution doesn't fix anything. It might help newspaper sites where they write fresh news or detailed reports. But that will only be for the top 100 news sites. The rest of the artists and writers are doomed already because there is no law in place. I can't wait to retire, which is a few years away, and never have to look back again. But, it is the next generation of people who are going to struggle a lot 🙁
P.S. totally agree, it would be closing the barn door after all the horses have already left... Current content is probably SoL no matter how you look at it 😢
I think it’s worse than that. Wonky autocomplete is so pervasive, its hallucinated citations are making it into Google Scholar and academic library listings, getting re-cited and lent undeserved credibility. It is basically polluting and degrading the world’s scientific body of knowledge.
Be gentle to me but I'm a bit in the middle here as I believe it "depends". First book stealing is not nice on any purpose. But if an article is publicly available what is the moral/philosophical difference who/what reads it? I can read an article to get news or I can read a book to learn to write in the same style. Who am I , a student or AI? What's the difference? If I'm a student - may I make money with what I've learned? Yes, with very few rules, of course. So why AI can't?
Bigger is better approaches in AI create an inexhaustible appetite for users’ data, leading to a rise in user data expropriation, sectioning off of the internet, and “data feudalism.”
Hey I work with scraping for over a decade - there's no legislation that would work here and if anything it would just introduce a moat for the established.
Charging crawlers is probably the only way to make this work but this will not get adopted as generally websites that opose scraping value their data higher than what crawler could ever pay.
There's also fundamental confusion here of what is being "stolen" here. Information copying is not stealing 🙏
- and hey, as if all of *gestures at everything* wasn't enough: They're also stealing everybody's bandwidth. Which people pay for to get other people to visit their websites, not a fucking army of automated content thieves.
It was bound to happen. The current liberties that have been taken in this race to AI is not going to last.
Let us see how this pans out. But yeah most of the valuable and important content will be behind paywall soon enough. This is no different than giving close to a century of protection to written word. No different than Pharma companies allowed to abuse their patent systems, by changing a single molecule just so that their patent life is extended.
I agree that legislation is needed, but I think monetizing web crawling could be better than a bandaid if laws backed it up 🤔
If web crawlers had to register like data brokers; it could prop up a small industry to prevent abuse. Like how a data deletion industry (i.e. monitor.mozilla.org/) was propped up by bills like leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fac…

The crux, different tech backbones aren't cheap for most people and the internet having less meat than backbones. That's how we get fediverse and chickens (=consumptions) with more bones than meat. The relevant question, who makes the chicken feed when everyone is busy making cages without knowing to tend flocks. People have the wrong idea that they ought to _BUY_ the feed in markets instead of _MAKING_ it themselves.
Most people are probably going to hate me for saying it, but web3 might be the answer here.
Yes, it's based on blockchain. I've been looking at it recently though and there are alternatives that don't waste huge amounts of power. There are other wastes (hard drives) but it's improving.
Two coins to look at in particular are Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA). I was looking at another that has "negative emissions" but I think they're using carbon offsets more than these two.
I read the first 4 words, and had Tina singing the rest in my head! Which, come to think of it, is a pretty apt way to look at this. Globally, we're looking at a massive crash, but the US...

Meanwhile, the ‘resilient’ stock market is having a zombie rally propped up by idiots who can't recognize hyperinflation’s pregame show.
Six non-governmental organizations, incl. the International Federation for Human Rights and the Human Rights League, filed a criminal complaint in a Paris court against two French-Israeli soldiers accused of committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

A Scottish university has been named as one of "the most financially entangled" institutions in the UK to Israel by a United Nations (UN) report on corporate complicity with Israel’s occupation and the genocide in Gaza.

That is certainly a lot more corn than I know what to do with
