Sonnet 006 - VI
Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
That's for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten…

That PC whose fan dropped off the other week has been bodged into working. I used a couple of plastic strips and motherboard mounts to hold them to the board with screws in the right place for the heatsink; but I found it needed more pressure on the fan for it to make good contact with the CPU, especially at the top; so outcomes the wood. This is working reasonably well; although the wedge positioning is a bit touchy to get it right.

Reinhold Messner's moving message about the recent death of Nirmal Purja and ten others:

I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away.
And yet l also know that, for some, …

I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away. And yet I also know that, for some, there is a quiet comfort in knowing they were in the place they loved most, doing what gave their life meaning. My thoughts are with all the families, friends, and everyone who loved them. Pls remember a human being is never an object. A life is measured by presence, not by tributes. #thinking #memories #"

We’re at the point where we can no longer afford easily-scared “normies.” We need to convert, not coddle. A lot more people need to die in the process of turning around the fascist trend, and pointing out the fascists as they depart is a positive thing. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
