@henriksundstrom @fesshole come on, “korma’s a bitch” was right there.
@cmconseils shredded cheese isn’t a meal though. It’s a pre-dinner snack to eat a handful or two of while considering what else is in the fridge.
@gsuberland I wasn’t, but that was well worth the short walk up the road I just took to get a view of the right bit of sky.
A random thought for you. I think it’s commonly accepted that the ideal rate of unprosecuted crime is not zero, think things like starving people stealing food, or busking without a license. However, politicians can never be seen to say anything other than “crime is terrible, we’ll stamp it out”. I’m not sure it’s possible to resolve those two things, especially since politicians will also ~never repeal existing laws.
The boy is back at school, which means Monday is a 7 mile walk followed by a pub lunch while I wait for the train home. I think this has fixed me.
@pikesley yeah, that should work regardless so long as you’ve got mobile signal.
Hi folks - I'm looking for books about or based around narrowboats and canals. Fiction or nonfiction is fine. Thanks for any recommendations!

UK people, it’s emergency alert test day, where are you going to watch the ensuing chaos? I’m thinking I might pop out to the local supermarket for it.
@an0key no, never. I have more than once bought clothes and then walked out of the shop wearing them. (Why yes, I did forget to pack swim shorts for a day at the beach)
Hey gang, I really need a job. UK, remote, something to do with computers.
I've been doing all sorts of software plumbing for a decade now, I can speak C, Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, even a bit of Assembly for certain architectures in a pinch.
I might not be extremely specialized in any one area but you bet I can solve that one nagging problem you're not sure what specialist you need for. I've done frontend, backend, embedded, everything.
Please boost!
@heapy hot take: giving kids homework is also bullshit which is training them to do unpaid overtime in later life.
@Daojoan I’m a long time Things user but have been butting up against some limits with that around different contexts blurring into each other.
@Daojoan do you have any decent guides you could recommend? I tried using it last week and couldn’t really work out how everything fits together.
@internetsdairy I thought this was going to be a limerick, slightly sad when it wasn’t.
@0xabad1dea I think not allowing preorders did it - half the game playing population suddenly all trying to do credit card transactions at once.
@simple_sabotage way ahead of you there buddy. This thing packs so many duplicate files.
@russss I’ve been using it on my clock for a while. Having just discovered there are glyphs for weather (because of course there are in a font designed for planes) I think an update is in order.
@ryanjyoder @fesshole businesses can’t just pop to the bank and pay cash in for free, they get charged for cash handling. Also it costs money for someone to go to the bank, if you can even persuade a staff member to go to the nearest bank with hundreds to thousands of pounds of cash on them.
@an0key if it was happy to start with I’m going to go with indefinitely. It’s probably nominally 9v but with leeway for having more or less because people will plug any old shit into a barrel back connector.
@nicklockwood @0xabad1dea I’m really annoyed in general that anything involving some code is now AI. I heard a cronjob referred to as “our AI system” yesterday. That’s got as much AI as my alarm clock.
@pikesley sorry about that, I left the house again, which this week apparently means the heavens will open within 15 minutes.
