Hi! I don't really post here, but if you want to follow what I do post on my Mastodon, you can try following @chrisd.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy instead, or as well, to get my (fairly few) Mastodon posts here on BSky.

If we're lucky, it'll even still be working by the time you give it a try!

Los Angeles' Shohei Ohtani is the Sir Gary Sobers of baseball and is likely to have the same sort of multi-decadal impact on his sport that Sobers did. History will tell but I believe this not to be a significant exaggeration.

That's got your attention, hasn't it?

My guess is that some of the respondents don't really understand the differences between those things.

I watched an episode and found it charming, especially the bonus round, but one is probably enough for me.

Some, but I don't tend to find them particularly pleasant.

I particularly worry about those who are even more regional in their othering.

Are there any words that are the opposite of congratulations, other than commiserations? If not, you get to invent one for me.

...glad you think so too. :)

Unrelatedly: are you the uncredited narrator on www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxL8... ? It's a topic you'd cover and - oh dear, this could be embarrassing if this is wrong - the voice sounds rather like yours to me. (I did like it and am not sure where I found it.)

Feels a bit low-stakes. Make the time limit a co-op with all the parking apps in the world (and of _course_ the signs will tell you to use the wrong one for wherever you've parked) and that'll get the adrenaline pumping.

I'd mentally written off the Paddington experience as Not My Thing but this presentation is absolutely selling it as having some thoughtful, kind practice behind it at the very least.

Thank you very much for sharing this! Friends stayed with me overnight last night and I spent time with them today, otherwise it would have been very tempting to attend.

Huhhh! I had to look that up too. Not sure our room is as fully featured as that, which does seem like rather the omission. I'll check.

Glad to hear that your current job is delivering on that KPI!

I've used ours in the past when I was grieving / wanted to manage my energy by lying down for ten minutes.

As I suspect you know, but I only found out not so long ago, I actually think it's for observant members of some religions to pray in peace and privacy, probably among other uses.

I was pretty directly below you but on the ground floor! A very good day.

By happy coincidence I am eating just such a microwave apple crumble (*pauses in order to make this literally correct*) as I type. Yes, what you said.

Microwave Christmas Pudding film lids are about as bad.

Very happy to act as a positive reference for Ally's catsitting.

That sounds like someone has asked ChatGPT for some fanart based on the opening titles to Bergerac and, well, you know...
