Hey yall please welcome our monyet.cc admins @Naomikho and @Annoyed_Crabby! Naomi is already helping with devops so figured we’d might as well make it official here too. Crabby is Crabby. I hope you agree he’s the right crab for the job.
Also since this is becoming a separate place, some of the r/my mod team will be stepping away from the admin role for a bit to help give space to the new team. They may be back in the future though! Thank you @katabana @unhedged @conancat ❤️

TNB’s latest TV ad is disingenuous. It’s not that the cost of electricity has risen. It’s that the cost of importing coal has risen.
They’re airing the ads as if to warm people up to the idea of raising tariffs.
They should’ve instead put more resources into renewable energy but the people in charge are too sootbrained, as in every other institutions in the country.

Waaaaaait, power plant isn’t own by tnb?

Renewables aren’t cheap either. Coal or not, price will go up.

Have fun! Not having high expectations is the right way to go - especially with kids!
Their children will keep them busy, hopefully 💀
A few months ago,.I was terrified at the thought of having my own car, driving in the maddening traffic.
These days? I be cursing at other drivers and be ready to fight them, only thing that’s holding me back is my boyfie.
I’m one of the most mild-mannered ppl you can find and… just ask my wife how many times I swear each time I’m on the Malaysian road
Well, I’m a pure Klang girl . . . . That says enough.
Penang traffic can take your Klang-ness to a new level, I heard
Don’t fight lah, not worth it tbh, they never learn
You sound like lizzy 🙈.
But yeah, I gotta learn not to let my emotions control me.
Elloooo, I’m finally here!

Went for a 70-minute shoulder and foot massage and now I am so tired after the deep tissue massage. Really need a good night’s rest!
I don’t think I’ll survive any massage session. I’m too weak to handle it XD

LMAOOOOOOO welllll I spin yarn by hand (do you know, due to a number of factors, our cultural groups here excelled in weaving but never really developed the economies of scale to make thread?) so these are some non-Western European European spindles (wah, so complicated; it’s just the more non-Orthodox Church and Ottoman side developed different techniques). I’m moving to a fedi-version of a photoblog, but here’s my IG* one with one of my last photos on it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbcCyRAJjMw/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
*my god IG is useless these days to actually see my follows

the very short answer is related to balance of trade + geopolitics. It’s not at all surprising if you know how textiles are like, to understand why the first tools that was mechanized and ushered in the Industrial Age were related to this industry (Europe had domestic and colonial reasons for wanting to speed this up as well as break the domination of India).
so yeah, thread made better sense for us to source rather than do (Indians had the best fine cottons, and until Egypt and America were British-colonized, nowhere else can compete; Nusantara don’t have the best soil for cotton as a mass industry; China had the best silk and pretty much made it illegal to export the silkworms out), and we had other things that make better sense to trade like local organic goods; our marine navigation etc. Weaving tech for the nusantara groups (the Straits Chinese and later waves had a different cultural source) came from the north via Vietnam. Weaving basically became a thing in every cultural group worldwide, because textiles are expensive - in our case, we’re so rich from the other things to get that we actually did more trade with finished Indic textiles, but eventually we did it too because you can’t just wait for India (not China as textile source though; we’re an Indic sphere region) - lol this is why the British also developed a weaving industry in Manchester and northern England.
In Malay the name of the loom (kek siam = siamese loom), tells you where our tech initially came from. This was the same with the more Malay/Muslim groupings in Borneo as well (the transfer of tech, which is via trade), while groups like Iban maintained backstrap weaving (where the loom tech requires your body to be part of the frame and tensioning; unlike the more stationery cultural groups who put in more energy in floor looms etc that’re non-moveable).
alamak, still long answer hahahahaha

Yep yep. The sticks also provides the torque to twist the fibres, then when I twist enough, i wind it around them. Machine spinning also same basically, just different energy source hahaha.

Playing back AC Origin as a copium just because I can’t play FF16
Note: reposting this from leddit bcos I’m an attention whore
On totally unrelated question: how do i default the comments here as new. Malas to click on New everytime I come in here
I don’t think there’s comment default function yet, can’t seems to find it in the option. But there’s post default tho.
Today witnessed my colleague getting berated by her boss, resulting in her crying afterwards. Took her in a room and consoled her and once she calmed down we brainstormed enough ideas that she can present to her boss. All good right? except that I actually agree with her boss… yes the berating was too much but the reason was valid. It’s been an ongoing frustration with me too, but she didn’t deserve that la. Dunno what to do now
In my attempt to fix my F key on my keyboard, i killed it instead. Now gotta try beg my sibling to help fix it. Or is there anyone else here who can help me solder it properly? 🥺
This one must be use too many f word 🙈
Too bad i’m not living in kv, i could solder for you if so :x
This one must be use too many f word 🙈
🙈
Wah, you even know how to solder? Bro, you the man. I do have a spare keyboard I can use in the mean time. I’ll see how, if my sibling can’t help me, I’ll send mine to you.
Huhu, my skill can tipu makan only
If it comes to that i’ll see what i can do
No rush!
Press F to pay respects… oh wait 😂
Pay respect to my F key
Need to be a hotswap pcb or else need soldering
It kinda does. One is plug and play and one required resoldering. Since op did asked about soldering
It’s a mechanical keyboard from . . . . 10 years back I think. It’s not a hot-swap key.
Oh no, how will you pay respects without your F key tho
Also how are you typing all this without an F key
Can’t pay respect anymore.
I’m currently on my phone. It’ll be easy to tell when I’m on my PC 🙈
Since it’s school holidays from Wednesday till the end of the week, I wonder how many kiddos will be turning up tomorrow, hmmmmmmm
