Мастерская 3/4. Кассетницы — моё спасение.
Много лет назад купил на Али простенькие модульные кассетницы с ящичками разных размеров. Сразу знал, что под электронные компоненты, но концепция их хранения менялась с тех пор неоднократно. Наконец, добрался, отсортировал всё, что было, сделал этикетки. Не сказать, чтоб много, но и свободных ячеек почти половина: можно докупать и заполнять.
А под крепеж и всякие бытовые мелочи купил серию от российской фирмы "Стелла-техник" и напечатал в них вертикальные вставки-перегородки. Что удобно, так это возможность полностью вытащить любой ящичек и взять с собой.
В целом такая система нужна чаще, чем кажется. И применяется в двух сценариях. Первый самый понятный: вам нужен, условно, винт М3 (саморез, дюбель, конфирмат итд), вы совершенно точно знаете, где его брать.
Но второй сценарий не менее важен. Вы купили шкаф, после сборки остались стяжки (наклейки, гвозди, шканты). И у вас есть совершенно определенные места, куда вы сразу же это всё складываете. Никакого захламления.
Я очень доволен. Теперь найти бы время попаять что-нибудь.

🗺Mauritius 🇲🇺
The emotions of being in the open ocean surrounded by a pod of whales are indescribable.
The most common whales around Mauritius are sperm whales. Swimming with them is completely safe.

Trump Called the UK “very stupid”
Trump has suggested Britain’s decision to cede the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is among the reasons he wants to take over Greenland.
The US president, who is travelling to Davos in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, made the claim as he ramped up his rhetoric on acquiring the Arctic territory.
Trump fired off a flurry of posts on his Truth Social platform overnight on Tuesday about taking over Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark, the US’s Nato ally.
Writing on the website, Trump said “Shockingly, our “brilliant” Nato Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital US Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
“There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognise STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before.
“The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired.”
The move will come as a huge shock to No 10 after the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, gave his warm endorsement of the handover when it was first approved.
It will also add fuel to Conservative and Reform criticisms of the move, which have cited US concerns as a reason to deny the deal with Mauritius.
Immediately after Trump’s comments, the shadow foreign secretary, Priti Patel, said:
“President Trump has said what we’ve said all along – Labour’s £35bn Chagos surrender is a bad deal for Britain and bad for our national security. We’ve opposed it from day one and it’s time Starmer put the security of our country first and scrap his rotten deal.”
Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, said: “Thank goodness Trump has vetoed the surrender of the Chagos islands.”
The UK has signed a £3.4bn agreement to cede sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius but the deal is facing significant opposition in the House of Lords.
On Monday, the MP Andrew Rosindell, who defected from the Conservatives to Reform UK, cited a failure to stand up for the Chagos Islands as a major factor in leaving the party.
At the time of the agreement in May 2025, Rubio said the US “welcomed the historic agreement”.
It went on : “This is a critical asset for regional and global security. President Trump expressed his support for this monumental achievement during his meeting with prime minister Starmer at the White House.
“This milestone reflects the enduring strength of the US-UK relationship.”
Critics of the handover have said the deal gives China an opening in the region because of its close relations with Mauritius.
Trump has regularly cited fears of Chinese influence as a reason he intends the US to take over Greenland.
