This is just to say
I have valued
the goose
that was in
your portfolio
And which you
were probably
saving for
the eggs
Forgive me
it was annualized
depreciated
and written off.
Why do hosts on produced podcasts speak. So. Slowly? (I’m aware you can speed it up, it’s not me listening to this podcast, just hearing it in the background)
Free TV show idea if anyone fancies pitching it to Netflix: All The Gear, a cookery competition show in which amateur chefs have a selection of kitchen gadgets, some ingredients, and one hour to make a two course meal. They do not have any pans.
@bob I’m not sure if this is better or worse than the company where marketing independently hired a freelance Wordpress guy to add a bunch of user/referral tracking to quite a complex application who the actual development team then had to handhold through the whole process. It would 100% have been quicker for us to do it ourselves but corporate shenanigans meant it wasn’t going to get prioritised for months.
@wamonite I discovered earlier while using the aircon as a big fan pointing out the window (with cooling turned off, I’m not a monster) that it also dumps warm air from inside out through the exhaust hose in that mode. This is ideal because my exhaust hose is hooked up to the extractor fan vent in my kitchen.
@pikesley what a film, and this week you get the full 4D experience as it’ll feel like you’re in a jungle throughout.
Excuse the banal post but I’m really bored of this heat now. My flat hasn’t got below 28c since Wednesday morning and I’m already dripping with sweat. For the next time round I’ll be augmenting the newly purchased aircon unit with some big fans to dump as much hot air out of the windows as possible overnight.
I have a spare live-in vehicle ticket for the @emf
Is anyone interested?

@robinhouston @emf @stecks those are some really big sticks of plasticine.
The aircon is quite effective now it’s not being fed with a constant new supply of 30 degree air.
For fucks sake. Spent all day with the curtains and blinds shut, sitting in the gloom, wondering why the aircon was so ineffectual, only to find whilst I was in the kitchen just now I’d opened the windows in their last night and then forgotten because they were behind the blinds.
OH: “I think you can correlate my cortisol levels and the number of GitHub Actions minutes spent”
There’s a breeze! It feels like a cool breeze but it’s entirely possible that’s just wishful thinking given it’s still 27c outside.
@SamLR the email pace will increase until everything has been communicated. By the time gates open we’ll be doing one every 30 minutes.
@renata CityMapper can do that if you’re in a supported city, and will also take into account rental bikes/scooters.
@foone Pimoroni have a ton of wifi supported 2040/2350s with various combinations of IO, (almost?) all running off USB-C. I had one of their ones designed to drive addressable LEDs arrive today which uses USB-PD to avoid needing a second power supply unless you’ve got hilarious numbers of LEDs.
@0xabad1dea in a less dramatic way I definitely get this walking around my home town, going through areas I’ve been walking through since I was able to walk around on my own being vividly reminded of things that happened decades ago.
Ok. I choose not setting fire to the planet. Do the questions in this test get harder at any point?

@fl0und3r @aworkinglibrary the other advantage to four day weeks from the employer side is that filling open roles is really easy, so sadly not.
@fesshole doesn’t really matter, they’re a cat and so won’t get too worked about the matter.
@bob tbh that sort of thing is a bit of a brown M&M to me. If you’ve not considered basic things like the person using some business software rarely being the one paying for it what else haven’t you considered?
@aworkinglibrary my employer instituted a four day week a year or two ago, with no reduction in pay, and it really does transform things. I’ve got a day to myself to get chores and the like done without eating into the weekend, they’ve got an employee who’s near impossible to hire away, you’d genuinely have to either double my pay or match the four day week for me to even consider jumping ship.
