I miss the internet

I know this is going to make me sound old – but I miss the internet.

The real internet. The one we used to have. Before it all got so much less – and somehow so much more – complicated.

I went online for the first time around 2001. The 90s had ended, and the world was coming online while I was coming out of my shell and becoming more self-aware.

Handy bilingual mnemonic for tool use. 🪛🔩

#English #Spanish #screw #unscrew #tools #mnemonic

"Rightie tightie, leftie loosie" in Spanish is
"la derecha oprime, la izquierda libera."

[image of a screw with a curved arrow pointing to the left, another identical screw image with an arrow pointing to the right]

Meaning:
"the right oppresses, the left liberates."

@pa3weg this was mine the other day. I guess the wheels weren’t tight enough last time I leveled?? The print head is one giant glob.

A 3D printer with the bed completely detached, and parts and 3D detritus scattered everywhere.

The Spanish words 'año' ('year') and 'España' ('Spain') contain the letter ñ, which is called eñe.

It comes from a double nn. One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: ñ.

For instance, 'año' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn.

However, 'puño', 'España' and 'viña' come from 'pūgnum', 'Hispāniam' and 'vīneam', which didn't have nn.

My graphic explains how they got their ñ:

It’s been a long road from Republicans fear mongering about Obamacare leading to “death panels” to complaining that taxpayers spend too much money keeping chronically ill people alive.

I say this with 100% earnestness: The destruction of American science and provoking Canada and other allies only make sense if someone is working for Russia.

The text overlaid says, "Can I call you back? I'm watching a live stream."

Fun fact:

When Franklin Roosevelt started a foundation to fight polio, Comedian Eddie Cantor came up with the "March of Dimes", asking people to mail a dime to the White House. They were soon overwhelmed with 2,680,000 dimes mailed to them, literally truckloads, mostly from children. These dimes went directly to research that resulted in the Polio vaccine.
This is why Roosevelt is on the U.S. dime.
