@TheBreadmonkey @jackeric I last watched it in 1999 (I know this because our secondary biology teacher got talked into showing it as the end of term film, she pressed play and then left, saying “I’m not watching it”). It still haunts me now.

I’d like to have words with whoever thought YAML was a reasonable programming language. This thought brought to you by a generated password containing a colon causing my Salt run to explode due to a YAML parse error.

Turns out autopilot approaches don’t work at some airports in Flight Sim 2020. That would have been fine if not for the thick rain clouds between me and the airport, I took several attempts at it, then diverted to an airport where I could see the ground.

I’d be annoyed by it but that was some of the tensest Flight Sim I’ve done and fantastic fun dealing with it.

So far I’ve received seven separate emails and a phone call about my Curry’s order placed yesterday, fully expect a barrage insisting I review the product, the delivery driver, and Curry’s in general as well.

Upgraded the CPU and GPU in my gaming computer so now I’m not going to need to turn the heating on this winter.
