👀 This is too cool not to share - A guide on turning VSCode into your personal AI assistant using DeepSeek. Plus this guy cracks me up throughout the entire video, every video. And they are all so packed with useful info, so...

Yes, I know - DeepSeek and China are generally a topic of debate and all. But here's the cool part: It runs completely locally (your code stays on your machine).

Ah, interesting - t.co/jtqefc77dK is a nice tool for word clouding your paper titles. Mine is as it seems a bit diverse :-) #proteomics #cooltools

A cool tool. A small magnetiser. I had a need for a VERY long magnetised screwdriver. I "made" one from a long standard PH2 driver.

It's that time of year where I start cleaning up apples that have fallen. We don't have any apple trees on our property but there are 7 on our neighbours yards so I'm pretty happy my wife found this tool a few years ago. You simply roll it over the fallen fruit and it collects them. When the cage is full I take it to our compost bin and pull the wires apart to let the apples drop out. So easy my wife could do it .... but she never does.

Pro-tip: these Hikigiri scissors made by Nakabayashi are my favorite general-purpose scissors. You can find them on eBay for ~$10. The curved top cutting edge increases both mechanical advantage and the length of the cut. The blades are scalloped out on the inside which reduces friction and binding against the cut material. These two attributes make cutting with them so much more effective and pleasurable than your replacement level shears. #scissors #protips #tools #japanese #cooltools
