15 Years of Lord Of The Lost
Visited the #lotl concert in #Stuttgart today and had a blast. Been years that I went to LKA Longhorn. Like.. dunno.. 20 or so? And nothing changed 😄
Show was great, felt familiar, what I really like. My personal highlight was “Unstoppable” (originally by Sia).
We did hear the struggle in the voice though. Band just recovered from Covid apparently. Hope they don’t overdo it 😅
Anyway, for the curious: The set list “15 Years Of #LordOfTheLost” is available on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2yZvahybiLwDjDJUjldqef (yes yes Spotify evil).
Cutting a replacement blade for my lawnmower
Apparently there is _nobody_ selling a 40cm blade for the G40LM40 / 25157 40V lawnmower by #Greenworks outside of the UK – or claims a shipping time of seven months! Is this the result of Brexit?
Well fck this. I ordered a 41cm blade for the G40LM41 / G24X2LM41 model on a hunch. This one was available. Looks like the fastening bolt is the same. Could confirm this when it arrived 4 days later.
Sadly it didn’t fit (no security clearance) – which was expected, of course. The fix is rather simple though. At least when you’ve an angle grinder.
And what do you say… perfect overlap of all the bends. This will do. Attached it and went for a test run depleting a whole battery (rechargeable, I’ve 4 of the big 4Ah suckers for this one because you know… grass).
If my guess is right this may be the last blade I could obtain for this lawnmower. What a shame. It’s doing fine for years and I really like the battery version. Less noise and no fumes are always a win in my book. It won’t stay though if replacement parts become such a pain in the… neck.
The #kdenlive video editor is simply great 👍
Made an entire 20m voiced presentation with it last week 🤓 That sure was a first but a pretty straight forward process.
Al right peeps, the 1:1 #ColonialViper ( #BSG | https://www.buildsbybaz.com/) build is basically done but Baz is stuck now. He made plans for a trailer to haul it around but he is out of materials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EfnB02gxFg
Baz is not asking for donations yet. Personally I think he should, because his builds spark joy in the heart of people. Like his awesome build of an #IronMan suit for the benefit of sick kids in hospitals did before.
We may even support him without some GoFundMe. If you’re into #cutlery you may be interested in some of his #knives at https://shop.buildsbybaz.com/.
I’ll update this should I learn about a GoFundMe campaign, of course.
Edith says: Awesome, apparently it took one night for some sales to appear and Baz can proceed building the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8O9MK_vu1k
I read the entirety of the EAA – including all supporting documentation – so you don't have to.
We got hardly any snow this year @Shawshank. In fact we didn’t even have to order new food for the heater. That’s not normal at all :-/
Not saying I missed snow but I miss snow. Does this make sense?
Anyway, now it’s spring and we get this rich fresh green everywhere that can only be seen for ~2ish weeks each year – and I love it 🤓

The past few days on the Fediverse have served to remind me a few things: The internet is as smart and as ignorant (and everything in between) as the macrocosm known as “human civilization” reflects upon it. Sometimes the victims will become the victimizers in any given situation, usually withou...
