Up early in a Saturday to drive H to a church hall to queue. For potatoes.
Seed potatoes.

(For non brits, this is an annual affair in the UK - we’re given a ration of potatoes to last us the next 12 months and we have to register annually)

The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.

Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

Well, the @coffeestain.com #Satisfactory Kickstarter/merch finally arrived! Built in the space of about 1.5 hours (the instructions were okay… but a little unclear at times.

RC works great - and it drives/handles just like the game - utterly terribly!

With the Magic Mouse being the exception, every single mouse I’ve ever owned has needed to be replaced because the scroll wheel click function stops working eventually, as I open ALL links with a middle click to open the link in a new tab.

Is this a very niche only me problem?

This is going to be an enormous mental health crisis in a decades time.
(More so than now)
Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Is anyone else finding it terrifying how normal it is now to scroll from a cat video to graphic footage of war crimes, onto an advert for hello fresh, then onto graphic footage from multiple angles of someone being executed by ICE, and then onto a video tutorial for making pasta.

Retrofitted an old IKEA FOXA screwdriver with a USB C port (rather than a barrel jack).

Really like these tiny PD trigger boards - great for upgrading barrel jacks as they’re smaller than the old connector, and good for replacing micro USB ports too.

Obviously gets an @ifixit.com sticker now!

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Who knew buying printer toner would be such a PITA?

Attempt 1: Amazon (Market place seller, although did not know this at the time).

Price £65

Arrives, and upon checking via the Brother website, turns out to be counterfeit.

Amazon won’t accept a return as it was still marked as “in transit”.

Time to give @wombat37.bsky.social his final send off.

Very grateful for modern technology allowing me to attend the funeral via a live stream.

Cry laughing at the music choice for everyone entering the ceremony.

So, the US have seized a ship in international waters. I appreciate at this point international law isn’t exactly the USA’s top priority, but isn’t this technically piracy‽

Watched the Stranger Things finale.

I felt it was a very well crafted wrap up of the show, which will undoubtedly be panned because people have stupid expectations/were grumpy it didn't pan out how they thought.
Was it perfect? No. Was it satisfying? Yes.

Holiday Inn Media City, Manchester. Queued behind John Humphries in the breakfast queue.
He likes sausages.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

Typical tech bros, they could have saved so much time, money, precious metals and energy if they'd just asked a passer by to kick them in the nuts instead.

Visible morning stability score this morning was 1/5.
Turns out cooking/serving Christmas dinner, cooking/serving bubble and squeak yesterday, and doing that with the lurgy = massively blowing your pace points budget.
