Pffft. 70s Scotland says ‘hold my beer’.

We had a Witches Hat. Far bigger than the one in this video and we went a lot quicker and with a lot more perturbation.

I was shaving my head. Happened to have the news on the TV in the background and thought ‘fuck, that’s awful’ after the first plane, then ‘fuck, that’s deliberate’ after the second. I guess the twin towers is our ‘you remember where you were moment’ for those of us too young to remember the moon landings.

My eight year old just watched the trailer and said it looked cool. So I guess we’ll go and see it when it comes out.

The best alternative is to take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Don’t think I’ve got the head-egg shape quite right.

Just head down to the basement, find the circuit breakers for your building and flip them all to off for 10 seconds. That usually gets you out of Vi.

Vi/Vim - had it on every computer I’ve owned or used since about 1991.

Meh.

I was getting a Chinese takeout a while back. A guy came in to pick up his order and sank 4 cans of Carlsberg Special Brew (7.5% ABV) in the 5 minutes it took them to get it ready for him. He wasn’t savouring this beer, he was just fucking necking it as fast as possible.

Who knows the struggles other people are going through and the things they do to get through the day without losing it.

I hear the Pope smears it on everything, including altar boys.

Friendship is based on shared experiences.

So you need to find some experiences to share with people. Whether that’s evening pottery classes, joining (or starting) a man’s shed, joining a book club, joining a local amateur sport team, getting into a virtual TTRPG, joining a bridge club, or a chess club, or litter picking group, or bird-watching group… or something entirely different it’ll work as long as you have repeated exposure to the same group of people. Unless you pick a group who are all assholes. Or if you’re an asshole.

What kind of yellow mustard? American, English, and German mustards are all yellow but differ significantly in flavor and heat.

That hurts the side of my thumb but I’ll give it a go!

I heard something like this the other day. Is it the same thumb as the palm? 'Cos I can’t press my right hand thumb to the palm of my right hand very hard.

I love water so much I always add a splash to my whisky!

Yeah, that’s totally normal.

No matter how much you think of a job as just a commercial transaction between you and your employer it’s hard not to have a visceral, emotional reaction to being told ‘we don’t need you’.

I don’t know your financial situation, obviously, but my advice would be to try and take a bit of time out to clear your head of the old job and the layoff before you really get stuck in to finding your next gig. If you can afford to step back for a bit and clear the understandable negativity you’re currently experiencing then you’ll be far better set up for job hunting than if you just try and push through while you’re still in that negative mental space.

We actually use program for computer programs, but programme for a programe of events. We like to be irregular.

“Allow me to retort!”

Defragged cows. System files cannot be moved.

Tomb Raider on OG PlayStation.

I remember walking around after pretty much a solid day of playing and just seeing buildings in terms of which ones Lara / I could climb.

Every Wednesday I take my daughter to scouts. After scouts we take an unnecessarily long way home, playing music we like at each other and chatting. It’s a highlight of my week too.
