The dresscode never changes when you work from home. Although when a video call is necessary, it requires a 50% change.

I have been watching Newsradio after seeing a very funny clip, which has Joe Rogan as the IT/maintenance guy. He’s not very funny, but I was surprised it was the same guy as I had only ever heard of him as a podcaster.

I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.

I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.

I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.

That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”

Not sure if it’s still open.

Fun fact: the least perfect Scottish mountain is Princess street in Manchester because it is a. Not a mountain and b. Not even in Scotland

I completely forgot I bought that once during a discount, but didn’t even have it installed. Started using it now, thanks.

Unix?

–deleted, you’re welcome—. I fucking hate that song with every fiber of my being.

Lansweeper uses Belgian beers. Not quite mythological but I think that’s pretty funny.

Selfdomestication phase completed

Obviously fake. Trump would just draw it with a black sharpie

That would be weirdly secure

I second kagi. Have been using it for almost a year now and I will stick with it. I switched from google to ddg some years ago to ddg before, but kagi is simply better.

A colleague also uses it and is also very satisfied with it.

I rewatch The Hobbit trilogy and LOTR (both extended) every year with my wife. I would prefer just watching a fan cut of the hobbit as I don’t think those are very good, but my wife likes them and a happy wife is a happy life.

So I think I have seen LOTR at least 8 or 9 times and hobbit maybe 4 times.

That still doesn’t come close to a Swanlake cartoon movie that I obsessively watched 4 times a day when I was around 5 or 6. My parents insist I must have watched it well over 100 times.

Once the lawsuit about illegally lending out books is completely settled, I may consider donating again if they focus on their core activity, namely archiving of websites.

I want to support their archiving activities, not their misplaced piracy.

The first gout attack I had was the worst. I had been limping for two weeks thinking it would just go away, but it got steadily worse until it became unbearable and I went to the doctor. The diagnosis was almost instantaneous. She looked at my foot and went “Yep, gout”. It got worse for another couple of days until it slowly started ebbing away. I was basically a cripple for at least two weeks though.

I have it better under control now, but it still plays up sometimes. Gout sucks, but also there are worse things I suppose.

Man, I read those books ages ago. Tbh can’t remember much. Did that series get finished?

What episode is this from?

Dutch, German, French, English and what starts to become passable Slovak.
