Robot dog sent into hazardous area at Dounreay to flip switch in c/[email protected]

... That is somewhat alarming. Pressumably when those controls were installed it was in an area that was supposed to be safe from being irradiated.

Interesting site though... from a good distance.

Atomfall's Mystery Audio Bug in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Got the bug again even with the dynamic range change. Maybe not as often. Sometimes the audio sounds muffled just before it happens.

Am on console, so sadly no delving into the game's installation folder for me.

Current SFRS wildfire warning seems to be in place to the 7th. We'll see if it's extended then. https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/news/extreme-wildfire-warning-issued-across-scotland-this-week/

Try my hand at most things. Probably the most work I've done is hand-drawn illustration. Some of it is on Pixelfed, if you're curious. Mixed in with convention pics :)

Do you do any yourself?

Aye. I've had the bike a while now too. Hoping the replacement can be delayed while I'm getting used to riding again. Just on empty footpaths for now. Never been very confident around any traffic. Wheeled or footed.

Maybe going to take a look at the bike. Chain skipping. Hopefully can do something with it that doesn't immediately require replacement parts.

Work-wise continue efforts to get out of my art-rut and get back to finding more illustration / creative paid work. Should've just been a decorator. Not always so creative but at least the money's okay.

BrewDog built a fence to keep deer out. Instead, it trapped them inside in c/[email protected]

... They built the fences after putting in the saplings (aka delicious deer food). Is that not a little bass ackward?

Atomfall's Mystery Audio Bug (sh.itjust.works)
 

Atomfall has an audio bug that mutes all game sound. The only way to get sound back is to close and reopen the game.

I'm wondering if it's the Dynamic Range audio setting glitching somehow. High had the bug often occurring. Low not so at all so far. Though it may be coincidence.

Anyone else found something that helps?

Drive For Change: Foodbank Van Appeal 2025 (www.justgiving.com)
 

Edinburgh Food Project needs a new van.

"Sadly, the foodbank’s big old van is no longer up to the job – it spends more time at the garage than out and about, and it isn’t even LEZ compliant, so there is an urgent need to replace it."

Will probably be there at least one of the days. Missed it last year.

Protest then and now – 30 years since Pollok Free State (bellacaledonia.org.uk)
 

"The Pollok Free State convened around Colin Macleod’s one-man protest in a beech tree. Colin’s message resonated with folk from the surrounding estates in Pollok, Nitshill and Cardonald who objected to their access to the park being cut off for the benefit of affluent car owners in Giffnock and Newton Mearns having quicker access to Glasgow city centre."

'Completely unethical': Women excluded from life-saving vaccine (www.thenational.scot)
 

It's always been baffling to me that this is the case. Even if there was a small charge a lot of folk would choose get the vaccine. Rather than risk the disease it prevents.
