Terrace open! Lovely day for a drink outdoors isn’t it?

A sign saying “EAGLE CLUB Golf Simulators & pub. TERASSI AUKI”. The sign is standing in a pile of snow.

Tempted to login to Twitter just to check if my account has been banned for violating the “Promotion of social media platforms” rule yet.

I found this, which shows that even with LEDs, manufacturing is a very small part of the overall energy consumption during its lifetime. If the other environmental impact of the manufacturing outweighs the energy savings is perhaps harder to tell. (source)

In our bathroom we have a grid of 9 36 W halogen bulbs. I just replaced two of them with 6 W LEDs. Would it make sense to replace the rest of them for the energy savings (7*30 W, lights are on maybe 2-3 hours per day on average, so ~525 Wh per day), or is it better to use the existing ones until they die (taking into account the manufacturing of the replacements)?

Happy to see that some of my favorite bots are appearing here too!

Made a tiny modification to the Mastodon -> micro.blog follower import script I made in 2018 so that it works with the .csv file generated by Fedifinder, and am now following a lot more people, nice!

Makes me wish I could pull off earings so that I could wear this cool JWST bling

Just listed: #JWST earrings. Made with matching hammered mirror-polished gold vermeil hooks, and also with ball posts and pride flags. I’ll gladly sell just one earring, too!

I have all the gemstone colors needed to make whichever #pride flag you claim. For all the queer #jewelry I have in my shop, I’ve had the most demand for #transpride and #asexual or #aromantic pieces, I think because most #makers don’t think of them. #EmilysSpaceCraft
