Biden accused of hypocrisy for trying to extradite Assange
Biden has been accused of hypocrisy for trying to extradite Julian Assange while criticizing other countries for imprisoning journalists and editors.
The article's original line, "Joe Biden has been accused of hypocrisy for demanding the release of journalists detained around the world while the US president continues seeking the extradition of the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange," implies that Biden's wrong is to criticize the other countries. I rewrote the line to indicate that what's wrong is to try to imprison Assange.

Is that something people would be interested in?

Serious transport damage on the pick-n-place machine that I bought.
They managed to knock the 24mm steel "leg" clean off, then put cargo straps on the weak lid, so whenever they turned right, the 1500kg machine tried to rest on the missing leg and push up on the strap, squeezing the lid.
And it is not worth fighting the insurance company. Just cost me a lot of time and will get nothing from it.
Insurance firms are some of the biggest scammers out there.

Hi #8bit folks, I'm looking for recommendations for scan converters to connect old kit to an HDMI port. Ideally covering (PAL) composite (ZX Spectrum etc.), BBC Micro RGB and C64 (any non-rf output). Can be one unit or individual adapters. Thanks!

Just learned that Mythbusters weren't technically allowed to get all those explosives they've been using, so they worked it out by pitching scenarios to the local bomb squad and getting their experiments classified as "training exercises".
Which means every time the bomb squad was present on set the experiment was an "exercise" and since the squad has to prepare for the unexpected, they certainly got what they came for.
More bomb squads should have training deals with their local mad scientists.

@niclas haha, no problem, i agree wholeheartedly :)
even if you loosen the conditions it's nearly impossible here.. the monthly imposed fees are the killer, minimum 200€ mandatory health insurance, ~19€ for the public broadcasting assholes, there are probably more i forget now. if you don't want to or can pay those things out of pocket you have to apply for social security and those fuckers really tighten the thumbscrews to have you take any job.
otoh i'm becoming an expert in bleeding the state at every corner possible ;) maybe i should write a book on it.

A rare thing, too.
The universe tends toward entropy.
One day around 32,000 years ago, an arctic ground squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, including its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended.
Its body was recovered from permafrost and examined. Scientists germinated this plant seed. This silene stenophylla just bloomed.
It is 32,000 years old.
The strength, the vitality and stamina of living things — of life itself — is incredible.
