Where do I report my local postman for cheating at wearing shorts in any weather, he’s got thermal trousers on underneath them.
I have just spent two days straight being sociable, if anyone needs me I’ll be hiding out avoiding any sort of human contact for the next week.
Come on folks. At least *try* to entice me into this article I had the tiniest shred of interest in to begin with.

How, in the year two thousand and twenty four, is it still so painful to template a configuration file from environment variables?
@skylar I just watched your EMF talk, it is easily the best one I've ever seen! On several occassions I gasped in amazement at what's going on during despatch, thank you for the talk, and thank you for doing a job you couldn’t pay me enough money to even consider doing.
I have so many questions.

Whenever I encounter my son’s cat when out and about she meows at me incessantly until I guide her home. She’ll keep running up ahead, then turning around and checking I’m still there, so clearly knows the way.
This evening it occurred to me that her distress is that she’s found me wandering around in the wild lands and needs to take me to safety before something terrible happens.
Went to the shops over lunch to get toilet roll. Just realised I didn’t get toilet roll.
Property buying continues to crawl along, today after waiting weeks for a response to a query from my solicitors the other side inform me “the council require a fee for this information, which was paid yesterday”.
This is literally your whole job. How were you unaware there would be a fee that needed paying?
@britt I’d be open to helping with this. No experience running Mastodon specifically, but I have run Rails applications at scale for a decade or so.
Just been sent to bed by my flat because I stayed up too late watching YouTube. After ignoring the first change in lighting some time ago midnight came round and it turned off the TV.
Today’s Flight Sim bullshit was a flight cut short by an actual in-flight emergency, in the form of my joystick breaking and repeatedly getting stuck when banking. Just about landed the plane on the runway, with a lot of stall warnings, and a terrible approach.
And to think I typically make fun of the people who do the full pre-flight checklist including checking controls in a simulator.
My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.
Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.
Specialises in debugging.
I would like a term for the eventual evolution of all YouTubers towards screaming into the camera about their latest slightly shady sounding charity. Like carcinisation, but instead of crabs it’s sob stories.
Starbucks eliminated plastic straws to help the environment BUT gives their CEO a private jet to commute WEEKLY to work between his California home and their Seattle headquarters.
It's funny how regular folks have to sacrifice while the rich can continue to live with no regard for the planet or anyone on it

@tychotithonus @catsalad I was aware of ABU but maybe naively had assumed the issuers were also aware of it, and weren’t going to *send the new card details to exactly the same people who just fraudulently used the old ones*.
@scarlet @gsuberland they’ve all got a copy already, all you have to do is pay someone to suggest an internal multiplayer server.
Today in Flight Sim: I upgraded to a plane with an autopilot, and then proceeded to spend an hour trying to make it fly the plane. Eventually got it to go somewhere near the airport and then flew the approach manually.
