that's a neat effect but the reflection's all wrong, the letter placement left to right is maintained but the letters themselves are reversed. (also WERE WHILE)

The reflection should be showing us the back of the speech bubble which itself would be inverted, that or it'd be plain white.

Most often I use a french press for convenience but when I have the time (and because you asked) I use this drip filter, metal mesh so it doesn't need paper filters but then cleanup is more effort as a trade-off.

On the go I use an Aeropress or coffee bags, depending on the travel arrangements.

anyone remember when Obama got flack because his tan-coloured suit was 'unpresedential' and 'inappropriate'?

@sonofsuntzu.bsky.social any tips on making mock-up game tiles please? I'm playing with a new idea and my printer can only handle up to 200gsm card

Re-reading the Hobbit for the umpteenth time, sharing the love and lore with my young uns for their first time.

Coincidentally just come by this little beaut

oh so that's how you want to play it?

granted, recent performance hasn't perhaps been quite up to standard but peaks and troughs, we're due an upturn sooner or later...

Ah that's cool!
One of the few benefits of being a grown up is (sometimes) having the free cash to indulge yourself 👌

My boys have something of a descendant called Botley. It's crazy to think BigTrax is older than me, that must have been advanced for it's time!

Donald Tusk: "I have no reason to claim we're on the brink of war, but a line has been crossed, and it's incomparably more dangerous than before... This situation brings us the closest we have been to open conflict since World War Two".

This is a new one for me when it comes to job requirements...
"Must have at least 2/3 years experience in your current firm"

I can't think of any good reason why that would be so important as to merit inclusion in the opening statement of a job advert 🤔

Due to present tomorrow and a Windows patch has blue screened my laptop (thanks Microsoft) and the bitlocker recovery key is nowhere to be found.
Hoping my twelve year old backup laptop holds out just a little bit longer🤞

DuckDuckGo does not have their ducks in a row.

Still better than Bing.

when things are starting to look up and then you drop an open ketchup bottle, that's life reminding you not to get any crazy ideas that maybe things are going to be ok 😣
