Von Waschen und Trommeln
Ein Gedicht
Die WaMa war schon immer schlecht,
Doch wird es immer schlimmer, echt.
Drum hab ich für Verband gesorgt,
Drei neue beim Versand geborgt.
Die Shirts, die ich beim Testen wasche,
Kenn' ich wie meine Westentasche.
So weiß ich welches Modell gut war
Und bei welchem ich vor Wut gar'.
Auch wenn's Maschinchen leise schaut,
Sind die Dinger scheise laut!
Was sie aus meinen Stücken rein'jen,
Lässt Nachbarn meinen Rücken stein'jen.
Doch das entlockt mir massig Lachen,
Das bin nicht ich, das lass' ich machen!
Ergebnis in Kartei gepackt,
Auf and're Mietpartei gekackt.

ich habe gerade erfahren, dass "MTB" die abkürzung für "mountainbike" ist, und frage mich seitdem mal wieder, wofür das T steht (ähnlich wie beim RTW schon mal - da war es eingefügt, weil "RW" schon vergeben war.)
wenn es das t in "mountain" sein soll, dann müsste es doch eigentlich "MtB" geschrieben werden, oder?

the ones i was fighting with when I wrote the post were these:
with this type, most commonly, one or both of the connections will break the first time you tilt the cap into its "open" position.
and even if they don't break, they'll be flimsy enough and deformed enough that the ring slides around

nobody's already selling this sort of thing, are they? a little laser in a bubble on a gyroscope swivel that you'd clip on the outside of your bike handle, and it would draw a bright line on the ground at an adjustable distance from the outside of the handle (like 150cm, for german cities) to remind would-be overtakers of the necessary distance. with a bit of logic in it to adjust for handle movement, angles etc. to make sure the distance stays the same.
i'd probably buy a thing like that, but i couldn't build it.
i found a 2012 article on a rear light that would project a too-close line in either direction - but it does not appear to have gone anywhere? you can find it secondhand, but the company seems to have gone under, and it appears to have been too gimmicky and too narrow in any event.

'laser bike lanes' are still around: https://www.niterider.com/products/sentinel-250 and https://ride.lezyne.com/products/laser-drive-rear for example
but the lasers in general just aren't bright enough and even at night they're kinda hard to see.
a friend of the family just has a full-size "BIKES MAY USE ENTIRE LANE" actual road sign bolted to the back of her bike. seems to work.
LASER DRIVE REAR
Compact, high visibility bicycle taillight with four ultra bright LEDs providing up to 250 lumens. Extended lens offers 180 degrees of visibility for increased safety on the bike. Laser-mode beams two safety strips on the ground.Lezyne USA, Inc

i just had the stupidest idea for impractical footwear, and i'm wondering if anything like that already exists:
the floatshoe
basically, a ring for your calf to sit in, possibly with a sort of funnel or straps to more evenly spread the weight, mounted on struts that connect to a "sole", so that your feet hang in the air freely as you walk

trying to keep track of my emerging pet peeves:
- the "you ask" pattern
i've noticed a huge increase in this over the past few years; people in tv shows, on youtube, sometimes in movies, will pronounce questions as if they were going to add "..., you ask?" to them. i hate it
- the "name in commas" pattern
this is becoming an absolute epidemic in social media; here are a few examples:
"Occultist, Aleister Crowley, was an accomplished mountain climber."
"Rheinmetall CEO, Armin Papperger, reports that the company will not only deliver ..."
"Iran sentences renowned director, Mohammad Rasoulof, to 8 years in prison and flogging"
the thing that's perhaps noteworthy about both of these is the vehemence with which they will be defended as supposedly correct. my fear, of course, is that they actually are.

Interesting, I'd never noticed the "name in commas" pattern. Using the terminology of Schneider and Zeldes (2021), I would describe it as name descriptors (more specifically: embellishments) treated incorrectly as appositives in orthography.

every time someone posts a link to an article on yahoo, this is the full extent of the preview:
Not even mentioning the two errors in just five words of headline, there's no actual preview of the content of the article...
when people using the false plural "octopi", do they also do it for other words ending in -us for which -i is not the correct plural form?
i propose to name this field of study "autobi"-ography
