@npub1q5l…ywp3 i used it when I was a health care worker in a nursing home,
so it was used by the nurses and it was just something I picked up as a way to explain "people of that age". I don't remember if it was ever written.

@npub1q5l…ywp3 I had heard and used Octogenarian before, but I was totally oblivious to the rest of them. So a huge TIL

I decided I wanted to make some baguettes yesterday, so I started and they have just left the oven.
It's my first ever attempt at making baguettes and while they're not quite the right shape I have a better understanding why French bakers are up so early it feels still yesterday.
Do X leave for 24hr , do y and leave for 20min, do Z and leave for 1.5hr and finally leave for 2 HR before baking for 20min

@npub1m26…2jhh I have just done this very thing for a keyboard I made for @npub1535…53a7
when I made my own months ago, I had so many issues with it I think because I was using a rp2040.
I am just out to go to bed, but I shall share my working code tomorrow

It was also 3D printed on an almost standard ender 3.
I do love QMK this keyboard is using https://www.caniusevia.com/ because who doesn't like an easy to use gui to change a key mapping rather than source code, set it off building and think 🤔 this is working, flip the keyboard in to bootloader mode and the compiling of the source fails.
So you'd have to find a spare keyboard or ssh from your phone to fix the code.

... I'm obviously not talking from experience

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I completely agree with more social housing.
But I honestly don't think that would be anything any of the major parties would do.

The crazy thing Is according to the government there were at the time of this document 676,304 empty properties in 2022 and according to shelter there were 271,000 people homeless
And while I'm a slightly biased biased rampant socialist with borderline communist and terrible at maths.
Even I can see maths is obvious.
