Kinda excited. Just ordered a vintage fountain pen from 1910. It is made by the company that invented fountain pens and is known as one of the best Flex pens ever made. I think I'm finally done buying pens, I should have everything I need now for writing :)

A comparison of my name written with flair vs without (using a pens flex capabilities). I need better paper though and a pen with softer flex. In fact I just ordered a vintage pen from around 1910 that is one of the best flex pens of all time...
Top row is with flex/flair, bottom is without.

EFF just sent this letter to every official negotiating the EU's #CopyrightDirective #FixCopyright https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/10/effs-letter-eus-copyright-directive-negotiators
I feel like microplastics is sort of an issue. I know I don't need any microplastics accumulating in my liver. I use that for filtering blood!

An update on my small group trying to push for #environmentally friendly practices in my area
It is a nightmare. We had a lot of ideas and projects, which I talked about in another post, and right now we had to go through 3 meetings, have been insulted and are facing a lot of irrational, angry resistance for just proposing to do a 200 liters #composting bin for the kitchen scraps in a leftist, squatted social center.
I'm not sure if being more annoyed to the irrational resistance or to the people that, by supporting the idea, are actively keeping us going there to discuss it... again... and again... and again... since one month and counting.
If their point is draining us of any enthusiasm, it's working like a charm.

New Cell Structures recently discovered according to this article. Very cool stuff that new parts and structures and functions of the cell are still being discovered to this day.

My patch for i18n-tasks was merged! Now there is a check-consistent-interpolations command that verifies that non-base locales aren't using variables that don't exist in the base locale!
This will help prevent translations breaking Mastodon.
So it looks like Mega-Corps will be a possible play style in the upcoming #stellaris update. I'm excited. I can take over the universe by way of trade and that makes me happy.
Oh Man, so looking forward to my Vacation Week. Plans so far:
Go to Ha Eretz Museum and take pictures of the stuff for my #qoto friends.
Go see the opera Werther @ the Tel Aviv opera house. I'm even going with a work friend! :D
Maybe check out this 'Luna Park' amusement park that I pass every day on my way to work.
If the new #Stellaris expansion/update/DLC is out, get that and figure out the changes.
More to come!
So. There MAY BE a new Nintendo Switch coming out in 2019. Something more powerful.
Makes me wonder if I shouldn't have waited for this Switch- however- I guess that means I'll have a safer homebrew/unlocking chance with this current console after I get the other one. I'd love to be able to do something more with the portable. It's really handy, and I love it.

While I find truth in this statement I'm not sure many others would.

'More acceptable' in the sense of social acceptable. We're not talking morals or ethics here.
Apparently this goon can get away with that sort of thing, though. I'm getting real sick of antisemitism being 'more acceptable' than other forms of racism.
What the actual fuck...

How is this dude not banned from Twitter? Aren't there rules against being a virulent racist?
