Discord also has the worst "claim account" system around. I have an account, I'm just not signed in. I have to "logout" of the "new" account which isn't claimed so I can sign in as my email linked account and then I have to go back through astro.build/chat, including the CAPTCHA, to join the chat.

Yeah, given how few newborns and even 12 month olds are able to use a computer the “today” or 1 January This Year defaults are strange. They’ll performatively adhere to 13+ rules but let you go back and change the year. I want a Spin The Wheel year picker.

Came to post this, well done. I worry the people who need to see it will reject anything from the woke mind virus domestic agitator terrorist Democrats though. They'll quote Trump pointing at a Mercator map saying "Look at the size of this. It’s massive"

Something I learned in 2025 was that many of those classically white Roman and Greek statues were originally vividly painted... They look hideous!

And a grass fire started from embers blown over from the fires in the mountains. That’s where I’d usually park at Boland Park!

A billion dollar global visa facilitation company just charged my Irish partner R12,000 to renew their visa to live in SA. You get a nicer lounge to wait in than direct with the dysfunctional Department of Home Affairs. It’s still dysfunctional as they don’t actually issue the visa, DHA does.
