I put together this bumblebee made out of mini blocks a couple weekends ago. VERY tough with my big dumb hands. These bricks are TINY - see 3rd photo with quarter. Maybe the toughest thing I've ever built. Didn't give up! But if the flowers are that small, HOW HUGE IS THAT BEE?!? 😂

Satan On Weekends
Great Australian Pods Podcast Directory: #GreatAusPods

Well, 40% done in «Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood» in #PSP so far.
Today is my last day of #holidays... :(
During the week I don't usually play games because I'm tired from work.
I only play on weekends.
At least 15th August (Friday) is a break day in

This is one of those weekends where I really need my emotional support millionaires to drive faster in a circle than the other circle driving millionaires #f1

"Whenever anyone asks me for advice, I tell them: we don’t realize how deeply the nine-to-five fractures us. The weekends, the holidays, the fixed friend group—whatever rigidness exists in your behavior will exist in your perception, and it will exist in your ability to think critically."
Victoria Brugger, "Last Words of an Ego on Death Row"

Last Words of an Ego on Death Row
Hello.I don’t know who you are. But I hope we meet in the next pages—across whichever dimension I had to cross to embody these feelings.This is not a book. It is not a journal.It is the autopsy of an ego and the birth certificate of the woman I am today.It carries the blueprints I bled for: how to build something from nothing, how to love yourself when the mirror is a battlefield, how to decode the nature of existence and drag purpose out of the dark.But more than all of that—this is my b…

One of my jobs is vetting syllabi to ensure they meet institutional standards. Often, this leads to rethinking my own approach ("colleague A is doing x, y, and z - that's so cool!"). But sometimes... This year, a half-ass syllabus submitted 11 days late includes: "Due dates for course assignments must be adhered to. The penalty... is 10% per day, including weekends and holidays. Late assignments will not be accepted more than 7 days past the due date." Profs can be ab…

Last photo from last weekends hike to the #Wallberg near #tegernsee .
I so love to see dead scrambled wood covered in moss . I can't even say why - maybe due to all the vivid green.
Anyways- if you're like me, you might like the photo and almost hear the wind in the canopy ab…

Curious: do banks in other countries completely shut down automated processing operations on weekends/holidays, or is that just a US thing? Why is the US still like this?
Like, if I want to move money from one bank to another on a weekend it normally won't execute until the following Monday (plus additional clearance delays etc).
There's no logical reason for this, it's not like there's a social benefit to the process and I doubt the banks shut down their datacent…

You know what I really have about "long weekends"?
Not just the timetable changes — but the fact that for smaller bus companies, you just can't find any information whether they follow the regular timetable or the weekend timetable. And both timetables are so disjoint that you can't simply choose one bus that would run either way.

Ok, three successive weekends with car shows/events, including two back to back car shows this weekend was actually a bit much. I have completely run out of spoons/spanners at this point.

Apropos of last weekends #emacs hacking. How many times would you ask an #llm to generate a #regex for you before you give up and just use a

Hey, just wanted to share this again. I took it last autumn at one of the last warm weekends.
I want to go to the same place again for a longer walk along a nice ridge. - Anyways, this was a really good day with a nice chat with a fellow hiker and great views.
Enjoy.

If you thought the Centrelink phone line wait was bad, please, please, do not attempt to call HESTA.
A hefty percentage of the things that should be on their website are still not there. This is after a 7 week period of unavailability and another 2 weeks of being live again.
I needed to download a form (normally available on their website) to upload to Centrelink so I can renew my HCC. You have 28 days to do so. HESTA is closed on weekends. Their help bot basically tells you cal…

Evaluating the Predictive Power of Qualifying Performance in Formula One Grand Prix
Formula One race weekends are structured around multiple sessions: practices, qualifying, and the Grand Prix itself, each contributing to final race performance. This study analyzes nearly two decades of races, encompassing 7,800 driver-weekend observations, to quantify the predictive value of each session on race outcomes. Expanding on prior research with a larger dataset and a longitudinal perspective, statistical analyses using contingency coefficients and Ordinal Logistic Regression update …
