Built a scyscraper in Townscaper

20+ cops outside S-Market Vallila about two hours ago, anyone know what was going on?

As I don’t have Twitter anymore I need alternate sources of entertainment. Today I’ve followed Finland’s ramp-up test of a new nuclear reactor in real time as it has added > 1 GW to the grid.

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

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!

00:22 on Friday December 16th, over the Coral Sea

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

Critical infrastructure hardware update at work

Irrationally happy about my timing of the tram arrival today

Winter morning commute

Every time I think Elon has reached a new level of irresponsibility, he finds a way to be even more irresponsible. It’s honestly frightening.

It’s ridiculously wintery

Favourite record store in Helsinki?

For some reason my watch can no longer show negative temperatures. No idea what’s going on.

My neighborhood, february 1944.

Nobel prize eve!

“We regret to inform you that your flight is delayed” my airline kindly informs me 23 minutes after the original departure time. Oh wow I hadn’t noticed!
