making a video game for the Colecovision in Z80 assembly language was the best lesson in I had in embedded programming...better than any formal course on the subject.

Its BIOS, called OS7, was pretty decent too so you could leverage it to do some of the minutiae and concentrate on the fun stuff. I suspect the same is true about the routines in the C64 KERNEL and BASIC ROMs.

Israeli settlers beat Palestinian-American to death, fatally shoot another
By Fayha Shalash in Ramallah, occupied Palestine
Published date: 12 July 2025 15:49 BST

"The attack began when a large group of settlers targeted dozens of #Palestinians attempting to access their land between the villages of Sinjil and al-Mazra'a al-Sharqiya, east of Ramallah.

Such assaults have become a regular occurrence, taking place almost every Friday, as part of efforts to intimidate villagers and drive them off land targeted for settlement."

More #Israeli #gaslighting and #propaganda. It has never been anti-semitic to criticize or "demonize" #Israel and anyone that tells you so is full of shit. Israel claiming something is "anti-semitic" when it clearly isn't is simply their way of manipulating opinions so they can't be held accountable for their actions. Well, enough is enough. ---

it's incredible how the e-rightoids think they only have two options every single fucking time MUH TRANNIES try to appropriate anything:
a) immediately give up the thing they loved up until 5 mins ago (and even go "well ackshully in retrospect that thing i loved was always tranny-coded so good riddance")
b) bitch about it in their social media circles without ever actually doing anything (this eventually leads to option a every single time without failure)
but option c (actively fighting against it/ignoring it altogether) is never ever on the table

learned helplessness is both terrifying and disgusting :jahy_disgust:

I'm about to give up my organic balcony gardening experiment. This is a cry for help.

I'm a bit emotional right now. But in the bad way to be fair.
I just got stung by a wasp without any reason, after having to take a extensive shower before because my body was totally itchy from all the mites and whatnot. UGH! 😫

I've been pretty proud in the beginning of this experiment, because there were lots of wild bees, beetles and other cool critters around here. It's basically like being in nature.

But I forgot that nature sucks... 🥲

For example, imagine laying in the grass and just chilling.
Beautiful for the first 5 seconds, but then, you begin getting stung in the asscreek by a dozen ants and get everything ruined.

Nature is basically dead in my area, so only the asshole bugs survive here.

The whole balcony is swarmed by aphids/ mites as well as ant colonies that protect those suckers from ladybugs and other beneficial predatory insects.

The aphids droop honeydew everywhere, which attracts lots of yellow jacket wasps, which in return could kill my girlfriend in minutes because she's highly allergic.
I didn't even realise that asshole (the wasp, lol) is there until I got stung just by existing.

I'm right about to pull the trigger and get my pesticides (neem oil/ pyrethrum extract) out.

Also, I began to hate soil even more than before.
I have to hunt for slugs every evening, because they're everywhere, and I can barely stand a chance against them.
There are gnats living in it too, as well as other unwanted guests.

The plants in soil are starting to spread diseases and pests to my otherwise healthy plants in hydroponics. I will for example harvest my weed soon, and there are bugs sticking in the buds like in a glue trap. I have no idea how I should get them out of them, it's just disgusting.

I also largely prefer hydro compared to soil, not only because there are less pests, but also because due to the much lower water demand and control it gives me.
The soil is guzzling water like crazy and still the plants are looking way less healthy.

Spraying neem oil on my hydro plants and just not using soil anymore seems to be the way better choice right now.

Sorry for the rant. It had to be.

What should I do?

Okay, just from the pictures, let me say what I think is happening:

1) You're growing too many different kinds of plants in a small space.
2) You're growing Cannabis, which draws literally every sweet-sensing pest.
3) Those things on the underside of the leaves you posted are Ladybug larvae, and they are GOOD.

You clear this up in about a week with a few simple things:

1) Get a clutch of ladybugs from your local nursery or plant stores. This should be available almost everywhere in the US.
2) Although I don't want to advocate for this because I love local pollinators, get a pheromone trap for the stinging insects. They cost about $10, and don't lure honeybees, but WILL kill local carpenter bees and yellow jackets.
3) For the aphids, get a soap-based spray, or make it yourself. It's pretty much just dish soap and water, but there are guides online. Spray EVERY MORNING AND AFTER SUNSET. This plus the ladybug clutch will make quick work of the aphids.
4) I see you have Basil in containers, move that AWAY from the plants that are infested with scale or aphids.
5) Depending on where you live, your nursery's may sell Mantids. Get them. They are beneficial, but ruthless in eating and killing anything in their grasp, including wasps.
6) If you have wasps around, there is a nest nearby. Inspect your building awnings, trees, or under anything shaded and find that nest. It's not two doors over, it's within 100ft of where you got stung. Find it, set a pheromone trap around your plants (not where you think the nest is), then after a lot of them are dead, go find and remove the nests next.

Don't leave standing water around, and make sure that you stay on schedule with the soap spray. Most of this will be cleared in just a week.

Edit: also for the slugs and stuff, you're growing a lot of stuff in a mostly shaded area, so you're just asking for slugs. Line a general area around your plants with Diatomaceous Earth. It's cheap, easy to use, and doesn't harm anything that doesn't crawl. Also, organic.

Double edit: DO NOT spray this black bugs with the striped butts. Those will be ladybugs soon that eat all the aphids. They are good.

Funnily enough, my weed is pretty much the only thing (and chillis) that isn't much affected.
The willow is the worst one, and the pepino second.

Those things on the underside of the leaves you posted are Ladybug larvae, and they are GOOD.


Those larvae pictures are already a bit older, maybe two weeks?
They probably got killed by the ants or wasps, because I rarely see them around anymore.
I also rarely see any other aphid eating insects anymore, only ants and ants carrying carcasses 🙁

An interesting approach. I like it.
From the article

The attorney general also pointed out that if AI chatbots are deceiving consumers through manipulated “fact-checking,” it may violate the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, which aims to prevent companies from using false or deceptive advertising to sell merchandise in the state. Given the substantial revenue these tech giants generate from Missourians, Bailey asserted that their activities fall within his authority to protect consumers from fraud and false advertising.

Former PM Ehud #Olmert 👇🏼

It is a #ConcentrationCamp. I am sorry.


[...]

We make a discount to ourselves saying ‘they are antisemites’. I don’t think that they are only antisemites, I think many of them are anti-Israel because of what they watch on television, what they watch on social networks.
This is a painful but normal reaction of people who say ‘hey, you guys have crossed every possible line’.

The situation has become so bad that the Environment Secretary has warned that if nothing is done we could run out of clean drinking water within a decade. This is, frankly, embarrassing. We’re supposed to be a developed country and we have abundant rainfall, and yet our state is so dysfunctional that we soon might not have enough drinking water.

While the government has approved the building of two new reservoirs, expected to be complete by 2036 and 2040, and plans to build another seven by 2050, this is not fast enough. And so water companies are considering rationing supply through surge pricing, much to the delight of some environmental campaigners.

I wouldn't say really positive. But it changed a daily slightly negative into a daily slightly positive.

At work I regularly need to take short notes. I like to fill the page to the full. But it gets messier and more complicated aa the day goes on. So I'd strike through and cross out notes I don't need anymore.
The thing is, crossing things out triggers a feeling of making mistakes. So instead of crossing out I started using check-marks (Dutch-style)., which feels like a succes and is also a quick fun flourish to draw. So small annoyances have turned into small victories.

I just think its so funny how hard online games have tried to "curve toxicity" by limiting player communication or trying to punish players for toxic behavior.

Don't they understand? Calling someone a slur or telling them to go kill themselves is and will always be part of the online experience.

This to me smacks of "retard"

Retard used to be the medical way to talk about retards, the kind and proper term for talking about the subject.

Then children realized that retard meant retard. Retard became a "slur" because children didn't mean it in the kind medical use way, they meant that a fucker was retarded.

So we went with "Special". Kind word for the unfortunate simpleton. Once again kids found out that it means retard. Now Special is a "slur".

It doesn't matter what word is used for retard, it will always be used to laugh at people being retarded.

Take out the hook and they'll find a new way to tell each other to hang themselves. Sanitize it completely and even the nicest of words will be the ones used to tell each other to kill themselves.

Shit talk is eternal.

I found on my Linux or Android systems, magnitudes more power can be saved by minimizing I/O consumption, like "data saver." This brings down by magnitudes those CPU wakeup interrupts. I also found increasing the time between flushing the write data to storage helps too. A quiet I/O bus is a power saving I/O bus. Displaying seconds uses orders of magnitude less power than wifi or cell phone modem wakeups.
