Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you knew the internet was going to be shutdown, damaged, or colossally enshittified what software would you archive for use locally and use for a neighborhood/town mesh network? Why?24·22 days agoI have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.
I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Am I alone in hating race-specific liveries? I like to be able to quickly identify the driver I’m looking at, which I do by recognising the car livery and the colour of the camera pod. It really throws me when teams change colours for a race

icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto Formula 1@lemmy.world•[via @skysportsf1 Instagram] “We have a duty of care to protect and develop Liam“- Christian Horner10·1 month agoI feel that the second Red Bull seat is more of the meat-grindy experience. Racing Bulls is the chef who takes the ground meat and forms it into an F1 driver-shaped patty. Like a Red Bull McNugget of a driver.
icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•The US right is coming for disabled people50·1 month agoI wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It’s not left-right politics, it’s the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.
The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people’s lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.
I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.
The article basically boils down to the obvious ‘don’t take what you see on social media at face value, do some research’ and isn’t a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.

It’s essentially Kitty Ozempic. We’re predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.

I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.
I bet you could make that look awesome! As a graphic designer I really dig the Sun logo - bold, simple, clever.
icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•More SEND pupils could go to mainstream schools as support shake-up is consideredEnglish2·2 months agoYeah, I totally get your point here and I agree. I am also emotionally traumatised by the damage that has been done to my SEN children being shoehorned into a school system that does not have the funding, facilities, training or compassion to treat them as people, much less to help them fulfil their potential.
More like the Conservative government spent in the region of £700m on the scheme, and sent only 4 people there.
