Homo Sapien

anselia

I'm done with hiding behind this wall. All alone in a place that should've been my home for a few years but never was I suddenly started to realize alot of things. It was like I stepped out of my own body and started talking to myself, my little demons running amok inside my head. I went mad and...

New LinkedIn profile … story

Marcus Hammarberg

Over the years I have grown tired of the tightness in how we talk about our jobs, achievements and careers in general at LinkedIn. I poked a bit of fun to it by writing a different type of profile section. Being a Swede I find it really embarrassing toothing my own horn, so I made up a story...

The AirPods Max 2 are better at noise cancellation than the previous version

Matthew Haughey

I've long been a big fan of over-the-ear, old-school big headphones for comfort and sound quality reasons. It's also because I generally don't like to stick things inside my ears. Apple's ear buds are mostly ok but I dislike in-ear models that you push deeply into your canals to seal out noise,...

Legit

idiotking

This afternoon, I registered a new domain name and ordered some stickers with the URL Duganheavyindustries.com for the product I’m planning on selling. I’ve been using multiple URLs for various things, including oldlinestatebinders.com, but I decided it was finally time to centralize everything...

!@! Movies: Klaus (2019)

andrei

A simple act of kindness always sparks another, even in a frozen, faraway place. When Smeerensburg’s new postman, Jesper, befriends toymaker Klaus, their gifts melt an age-old feud and deliver a sleigh full of holiday traditions. I have no idea how this movie flew under the radar for me, but...

Skaven (Wererats)

Peter Fitz

Some time in the 1990s I bought a pack of GW metal Warhammer Skaven. I didn't have any interest in Warhammer, but I did want something I could use as wererats for my AD&D game.The skaven are a bit more heavily equipped than your standard AD&D wererat, but they looked ratty enough for my...

I’ll Review Anything: Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games (Episode 1)

robinadventures

Hiya! It’s usually the practice here at 3rd World Geeks to review a television show or anime once it’s been completed. This way, we can avoid the issue of a show just putting all their efforts in the first episode and crap all over the rest of the season, leading to really good initial thoughts...

The Productivity Tool That Made You Slower

Ahmed Nadar

The cursor fills in a whole function faster than you could have typed it, and for one second you feel faster. Anyone who codes with AI knows that second. It is real, it is satisfying, and building Rapidfy and SolveTO I have felt it a hundred times a day. What I learned the hard way is that the...

Old Computer Challenge 2026 Day 4 - Making a Case in FreeCAD

82MHz

Since the coding part is now done, I decided to solder the Arduino and IR sensor on a bit of perfboard, and then put it in a case. I don't have a case though; but what I do have is a 3D printer, so I'm going to try my hands at designing one. This was interesting because I've never really designed...

From Kermit to Stuart

Oneberri Blog

From 2008 to 2011, I quit my tech job, became a photographer, and lived in a car I named Kermit. It was the beginning of my journey into minimalism — exploring what it meant to live life outside the box, with all the freedom, uncertainty, beauty, and challenges that came with...

Scattered laughs in 'Sex Pass'

Robert Denerstein

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass brings a slapdash quality to a comedy that opts for a glut of gags that bob on a sea of silliness. Director David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer) delivers a preposterous story, unremitting goofiness, and a disregard for credibility, driving his movie to zany...

Let Maine's Voters Decide

Chris Weigant

As of this writing, Graham Platner has still not officially dropped out of the Maine Senate race. That may have changed by the time you read this, however, because he is reportedly going to make some sort of announcement tonight. Everyone knows what he's going to do already, though. So the two...

If AI can rewrite anything: What’s left of copyright and copyleft?

Holger

Every software license you have ever used - from a proprietary EULA to the GNU GPL - rests on a single assumption: that code is copyrightable, and that copying its expression is something different from reimplementing its ideas. For half a century, that premise and distinction held. It gave us the...

TAT bust; future travel plans

John AE5X

I've been home from my TAT ride for several weeks now. More accurately, it was a 1/2-TAT as I headed home after riding Colorado.My age and the Oklahoma heat did me in.Oklahoma was three days of slow, sandy riding in 104F/40C heat with more of the same for Utah. Colorado was a cool relief in...

The One About the Pro Leisure Circuit (Again)

rands

In our 99th episode, Rands is back on the Pro Leisure Circuit — infinite time, a suspicious amount of Arc Raiders, and no wind in the sails — and we wrestle with what actually motivates a person when the engine of work goes quiet. The usual suspects: Arc Raiders, absorbing ten-hour days like it’s...

Quick Note: Dortmunder Original Lager, DAB, Germany

Alan

Light honey, cream and crusty French bread swirl between the cheeks. Plus a slightly minty hop. This is only $2.85 CND a can at the LCBO and grocery stores around our fair province. That’s a great cheap beer for a hot afternoon in the garden. There’s not much else to say about it. Pairs well with...

The Mastodon In the Room

idiotking

The three original members of Mastodon sat down and shot a quick remembrance of Brett Hinds, their former guitarist, who died in a motorcycle accident last year. They were honest about their experience with him, from the beginning to the end, and even without going into too much detail, it’s clear...

Slowing down, getting creative, and staying open can turn modest journeys into deeply satisfying adventures filled with honest connections and quiet joys.

Malta/Sicily Day 4: At Sea

Jim Fenton

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 Our first full day aboard the Sea Cloud II is an “At Sea” day as we sail from Malta to southwestern Sicily. It was also the first opportunity to deploy the sails and actually sail without benefit of the ship’s engines. We began with a detailed description of the sail...

Five finger rule to choose what to read next

after

Went to Youtube for some book content (the Shy Girl issue which I only got to know about this week) then I lost interest. So I went on a search for "how to choose what to read" and this Five finger rule for kids to choose book to read video showed on the results. Choose a book and read the first...

Lexicalization in Arabic: The Secret Life of Broken Plurals

Gerald Drißner

Some Arabic words begin as tiny actions and end up as institutions. A scoop becomes a room (غُرْفَةٌ), a turn becomes a state (دَوْلَةٌ), a guest becomes a fixed social role (نَزِيلٌ). The clue is often hiding in the plural The post Lexicalization in Arabic: The Secret Life of Broken Plurals first appeared...

The AI Fermi Paradox: If "humans can write like this", then why haven't they?

aionwikipedia

Whenever I hear someone argue that it's impossible to detect AI-generated writing because "AI is just copying human writing" -- a disproven myth, by the way -- or "humans write like this all the time", I often think of the Fermi paradox. The Fermi paradox, named for physicist Enrico Fermi, is an...

You want ghosts?

Steven Garrity

CBC: Underwater images reveal 1st look at Quest, the final ship of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton You want ghosts? Because that’s how you get ghosts.

Another phony story. But (surprise!) some people still trust the media.

Tom Arenberg

The seemingly legitimate news article, which several people sent to me and was shared on social media by many more, carried a stunning headline: “The Ghost Paper That Ate Alabama: How a Media Startup Killed 47 Weekly Newspapers and No One Noticed.”Too bad this must-read story turned out to be the...
