Gentil fediverso che lotta contro le stampanti
missà che la nostra è davvero arrivata, e sto meditando l'acquisto di una nuova: mi risulta che il consiglio del fediverso per stampanti che stampano e non cercano di infinocchiarti in abbonamenti vari siano le Brother, e i negozi soliti da cui compro questo genere di cose o non ne hanno, o hanno delle multifunzione enormi (e sono comunque esaurite)
avete consigli di negozi con sito da cui comprare stampanti, idealmente in it, al più in eu?

saturday I had to wait about two hours for the seasonal vaccines, I tried to stand as close as possible to the open window in the busy waiting room, and noticed that I had noticed the sound of two trains from the nearby railway, but not the other four, from a different operator, and started to wonder whether the trains from the other operator were newer and more silent, but then the ones I had noticed often are also run with even more recent trains and…
this is (waiting for) vaccines causing autism, right?

Immagino che fare un plastico di quella linea sia il sogno bagnato della maggior parte dei ferromodellisti, ma 51 km in scala 1:87 (la classica "H0") richiederebbero un bel po' di spazio.

my mother's AC, also used for heating, has stopped working yesterday morning (service will be called tomorrow, because weekend).
since a few days I suspect that one of the heating elements in my oven is no longer turning on (I still need to test it, and then call service, I guess, or try to open it and see if there is anything obvious, otherwise call service).
and now my printer is giving errors of the “try a good clean, but if that doesn't work you need to change a motor that costs more than a new printer” kind (considering options. it wasn't printing that well lately, anyway).

@Lysander il breve @Diego Roversi stasera era già prevista della torta di pane (e ho assaggiato della marmellata di castagne che era da aprire per altre ragioni), i maron glacé possono aspettare anche fino a domani, tutto sommato :D
(tra l'altro abbiamo ancora il secondo pacchetto preso settimana scorsa di una marca diversa, da assaggiare)
(il primo era stato assaggiato mi pare il giorno stesso in cui è stato comprato, o al più il giorno dopo)

I need to do something quick and easy, and to clear up the sewing room a bit: I'll just do this cap for which I've cut the fabric more than one year ago, should only require a couple hours.
proceeds to do some finishing by hand over each seam.
Ho bisogno di fare qualcosa di facile e veloce, e riordinare un po' il laboratorio di cucito: vedo di finire questo cappellino per cui ho tagliato la stoffa più di un anno fa, dovrebbero bastare un paio di ore.
si mette ad aggiungere una rifinitura a mano su ciascuna cucitura.
@Antonio no, è che stirare bene delle cuciture molto curve su della lana non è così facile, quindi ci stava bene un'impuntura per tenerle piatte, ma non mi piaceva l'idea di un'impuntura a macchina in filo di colore contrastante¹, e quindi mi son messa a farla a mano in modo quasi invisibile.
¹ la stoffa è verde, variegata, con delle leggere sfumature tendenti all'oro. il filo con cui sto cucendo è quasi color oro (un po' più scuro): un punto molto breve ad una certa distanza dal successivo sparisce nella stoffa, una fila di punti a macchina si vedrebbe bene.
@Antonio beh, fondamentalmente cucire a mano consiste nel ripetere continuamente piccoli gesti, è il genere di attivita che si presta molto bene alla meditazione
però dipende da cosa uno fa con la testa mentre le mani cuciono
anyway, unexpected hand-finishing done, machine seams all done, now the only thing that is missing is a final pressing and then attaching the lining by hand (as I always expected to do).
And then I'll have a second choice of hat to go with my autumn outfit, for when for some inexplicable reason I may not want to wear a witch hat with ear flaps.
comunque, cucito a mano non pianificato fatto, cuciture a macchina fatte tutte, adesso manca solo una stirata finale e attaccare la fodera a mano (cosa che avevo già intenzione di fare)
E poi avrò un secondo cappello per il mio completo autunnale, per quando per ragioni incomprensibili può non essere il caso di indossare un cappello da strega con i paraorecchie.

and the button on top. I almost forgot about the button on top.
And back when I had cut the fabric I had forgotten about it too, so tomorrow I'll have to dig through the stash until I get to the remains of this fabric, but I know I still have it.
e il bottone in cima. mi stavo dimenticando del bottone in cima.
E me ne ero dimenticata anche quando ho tagliato la stoffa, quindi domani dovrò scavare nello stash fino a che non trovo i residui di questa stoffa, ma so di averne ancora.

I've just realized that the potential maximum score is 20724, and that the game involves counting points at the end to see whether the game¹ has been won.
To be fair, in context card games are usually played mostly by school-age children and are supposed to be at a somewhat useful learning exercise.
But maybe it's a bit too much?

TIL that in Milan you can pay your metrò fare by tapping a debit (or credit, I guess) card when entering and when leaving.
which is pretty convenient when the high speed train you're on, that you've chosen precisely because it stopped at the same station as your next train, announces that they are stopping at another train station in a different part of Milan (~15 minutes by metro from the right station) and they tell you you can continue your journey “with the first useful train” (if you can find one)
thankfully the disruption had affected most trains, and my second one was also late, so I could catch it easily :D
TIL che a Milano si può pagare il metrò passando il bancomat (o una carta di credito, immagino) sui tornelli in entrata e uscita.
che è comodo quando l'alta velocità su cui sei, che hai scelto apposta perché fermava alla stessa stazione del treno successivo che devi prendere, annuncia che stavolta fermeranno ad una fermata diversa (a ~15 minuti di metrò da quella giusta) e che puoi continuare il tuo viaggio “a bordo dei primi treni utili” (se riesci a trovarne)
per fortuna i problemi coinvolgevano anche gli altri treni, anche il secondo era in ritardo e son riuscita a prenderlo facilmente :D

I am sorry about that one murder everybody is talking about:
I am sorry about the possibly otherwise nice¹ person who has decided to kill another human;
I am sorry about the potential celebration of the dead person as a martyr, and consequential further spread of his ideas;
I am sorry about the further normalization of violence as a political tool
I am sorry about the potential for more violence as a reaction
And it's a minor thing, but I'm annoyed at the fact that these days I keep reading what for me is the name of one of the Captains, and it's that person instead :)

English Paper Piecing, Done Wrong
Posted on September 3, 2025
Tags: madeof:bits
For quite some time, I have been thinking about trying a bit of patchwork, and English Paper Piecing looked like a technique suited to my tastes, with the handsewing involved and the fact of having a paper pattern of sort and everything.
The problem is, most of the scraps of fabric I get from my sewing aren’t really suitable for quilting, with a lot of them being either too black and too thick or too white and too thin.
On the other hand, my partner wears polo shirts at work, and while I try to mend the holes that form, after a while the edges get worn, and they just are no longer suitable for the office, even with some creative mending, and they get downgraded to home wear. But then more office shirts need to be bought, and the home ones accumulate, and there is only so much room for polo shirts in the house, and the worst ones end up in my creative reuse pile.
Some parts are worn out and they will end up as cabbage stuffing for things, but some are still in decent enough conditions and could be used as fabric.
But surely, for English Paper Piecing you’d need woven fabric, not knit, even if it’s the dense piqué used in polo shirts, right? Especially if it’s your first attempt at the technique, right?
Well, probably it wouldn’t work with complex shapes, but what about some 5-ish cm tall Standard Compliant bestagon? So I printed out some hexagons on thick paper, printed some bigger hexagons with sewing allowance as a cutting aid, found two shirts in the least me colours I could find (and one in grey because it was the best match for the other two) and decided to sacrifice them for the experiment.
And as long as the paper was still in the pieces, the work went nicely, so I persevered while trying to postpone the Moment of Truth.
After a while I measured things out and saw that I could squeeze a 6.5 × 7 hexagon pattern into something resembling a square that was a multiple of the 2.5 cm square on the back of my Piecepack tiles, and decided to go for another Standard for the back (because of course I wasn’t going to buy new fabric for lining the work).
I kept the paper in the pieces until both sides were ready, and used it to sew them right sides together, leaving the usual opening in the middle of one side.
Then I pressed, removed the paper, turned everything inside out, pressed again and. It worked!
The hexagons look like hexagons, the squares look like squares, the whole thing feels soft and drapey, but structurally sound. And it’s a bit lumpy, but not enough to cause issues when using it as a soft surface to put over a noisy wooden table to throw dice on.
I considered adding some lightweight batting in the middle, but there was really no need for it, and wondered about how to quilt the piece in a way that worked with the patterns on the two sides, but for something this small it wasn’t really required.
However, I decided to add a buttonhole stitch border on all edges, to close the opening I had left and to reinforce especially the small triangles on the hexagons side, as those had a smaller sewing allowance and could use it.
And of course, the 11 × 11 squares side wasn’t completely an accident, but part of A Plan.
For this project there isn’t really a pattern, but I did publish the files I used to print the paper pieceseven if they were pretty trivial.
And there are more polo shirts in that pile, and while they won’t be suitable for anything complex, maybe I could try some rhombs, or even kites and darts?
