Googled “I’m always angry” because I couldn’t remember how the Bruce Banner line goes. From the results I think I may be on some sort of watch list for people with anger management issues.

@RickiTarr damn straight. My most left wing opinion is that we should implement UBI as fast as possible, and that I consider someone being able to sit in a chair and watch Simpsons reruns for the rest of their life a positive if it means someone else can choose to make art instead of cleaning toilets.

@0xabad1dea I do it quite a lot for the purposes of sending links to specific chunks of code to people. Stuff like “oh, that’s implemented here”.

@0xabad1dea I think this is one of those things where different classes of user want polar opposites. My suggestion would be that if you’re a contributor to repo, readme down bottom, you’re probably here for code. If you’re not, up top, you probably want some context.

@fesshole and this is why everyone hates estate agents.

My favourite event is definitely the one where they have to position a cardboard cutout of some dancers next to the track so that it’s as close as possible to the tram without hitting it. 500 points available, but if they touch it or are too far away they get nothing.

This is oddly gripping. I had plans for this morning and they’ve all been usurped by Tram Curling.

Whoever did this and I would get along well.

@jackeric and located in Germany.

@jackeric Hetzner. $15-$30ish per month, 2 vCPUs, 8-16GB RAM, 80-160GB storage, ungodly amounts of bandwidth.

@jarkman it would if I didn’t find it looking for the talking Talking Flower Nintendo just announced, in a presentation laser targeted to sell me Mario branded bullshit.

Talking. Flower. Does. Not. Talk.

Today’s cursed sentence: “This bundle includes the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game and Talking Flower Figure. Please note: Talking Flower does not talk.”

I've noticed that there havent been many (any?) Proud Boy, Patriot Front, or Oath Keeper demonstrations recently.

I've also noticed that ICE is using common Patriot Front tactics - like arriving in Penske Moving Trucks and a lack of professionalism in regards to pushing, provoking, and handling bystanders.

I think its obvious that the Trump regime has brought all of his brown shirts in under the fold and are providing them with training, weapons, resources, and pay.

@briankrebs “You probably already have a Grammarly account… because we harvested your email address using the key logger everyone so kindly installed in their browser”.

Today’s irritating problem, my coffee grinder is making (unhealthy, mechanical) grinding noises when it runs. It’s almost impossible to usefully Google for grinding noises from a coffee grinder though.

@dave this what infuriates me so much. On one side there’s parties which have definite flaws, but appear to at least mean well, while on the other you have people who barely consider their opponents to be human and will happily send people to their deaths if it means making a bit more money.

“Hey, Siri, stop”
“Pause in the kitchen?”

Oh come on. There’s one place in the entire world any of my Apple devices are playing media right now. What else would I be asking for?

@tante this is why the bridge of the Enterprise has lots of terminals that can be controlled silently. Sometimes voice is the right interface, sometimes it’s a keyboard. Occasionally it’s gestures.

The right interface for the right time.

I hope everyone gets the accolades they deserve today!

@LewisWorkshop @idnorton even better, don’t make them bike hire, just make them bikes. And make the busses free while we’re at it.

@LewisWorkshop @idnorton I think the bike hire point is more relevant than busses that can carry bikes. Ubiquitous bike/scooter rental has transformed my city’s bus network for me because they make the perfect last mile hop from the nearest bus stop to my actual destination, and I’m not stuck with a bike to worry about when I make it to the pub.

@tef @jackeric god damn it, tef. Can I not have one nice thing?

@h5e @fesshole @henriksundstrom en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korma - a common food for delivery in the UK.
