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.

@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.

@jackeric @tef not quite that, but one day I’m going to snap and build some project management software which requires a confidence level to be provided along with all estimates, then returns schedules as a date range.

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.
