Timeline weirdness

This post, followed by a post for "figure in blue", the pictures bear a comedic passing similarity with a solitary figure in dark blue

Never needed an impact driver. Needed one ONCE last week (concrete screws) and now I am fighting the urge to buy one (I know I'll never need one again)

I dont understand what's hard about reading my water meter, mr Water Company. You put it in a perfectly sensible place.

Love it when headlines collide.

58. Fifty Eight. FIFTY. EIGHT.

That's how many goes the Last Judge took.

It's ok if you think you suck, I suck harder.

I have never owned an impact driver. Needed one last week and now the gaping hole in my toolkit stares back at me worse than Nietzsche's void.

And so the regular battle of the "She wants more pictures up" vs "No there are enough flipping pictures up and a bit of wall never hurt anyone" recommences.....

My old roommate once showed me a German copy of Frankenstein she got and it still makes me laugh.

Wtf is that thing that looks like an upside down CFD floppy but is square?

Lee Benfield @benf.org · 9d

Nah, used to be 80mb an episode for the watchable but not great in 2000.

Not sure if he said this, or not. Satire is dead.

I've just been through a normal boring corporate anti harrasment training, and it occurs: THEY COULD DO A HARRASMENT TRAINING MADE OF JOHNNY BRAVO CLIPS.

Maybe I'll try a thread instead of quote posting stuff !.....
Fixed the flashing egg and bouncing off ladders bugs - thankfully quite simple stuff....
Time for some proper level design, as some are just too damn hard/impossible (even without the DUCK !) 🙄

If I've learned ANYTHING from silksong, it's that there's a decent treasure behind this.

Should NOT have left it this late in the year to do a shed. 1.5 hours of daylight to (quickly) felt roof led to 1 hour of scrubbing trying to remove the enormous amount of spilled bitumen from my arms. Impressive.

I'd just like to say, screw the Sinner's Road right in the bum pipes.

Mental note : When using bitumen glue to fix tar paper to a shed roof in the near dark, much of it will go on you. This necessitates the removal of a significant amount of epidermis. Ow.

New Sean Connery outfit just dropped.
