You also don’t make the free meal kids a very visible group of kids who’s parents don’t make as much money, which can only be a good thing given the tendency of kids to be mean little shits.

I’ve gone right off this long bank holiday weekend since realising yesterday my refill for the drugs that make my brain work got caught up in it and rather than having just enough to see me through to the next lot arriving I have -2 day’s worth. Apologies to anyone who has to interact with me today or tomorrow.
"The closure of 'tabacs' (small local café-bars in France) contributes to the progression of far-right voting... regardless of immigration, unemployment or other economic indicators...
"Symmetrically, the opening of tabacs is associated with a decline in far-right voting, suggesting that these dynamics are not irreversible.
"No other commercial closure produces a comparable effect. The specificity of tabacs lies in their function as a place of socialisation... The effects are three times stronger in rural communities, where these establishments often constitute the last place of sociability...
"When places of sociability disappear, politics becomes a face-off between atomised individuals and national media narratives."
@stephen in the EMF context we use it more as multiplayer pastebin than long term document storage.
@stephen strong recommend for Outline if you’re looking for something more wiki like. We run both Outline and HedgeDoc for EMF and while Hedge was alright Outline does everything it does while not making it impossible to find a document two years later.
I’m so deep down the rabbit hole at this point I expect to bump into a guy in a funny hat with a love for tea at any moment.
Briefly sat down on my bed while holding my phone. Now the cup of tea I was going to drink while reading my book is cold, and my book is still on the other side of the room.
Never. Ever. Use the phone in bed.
I am once again demanding that all Not Now or Maybe Later buttons be paired with a No Never or Fuck Off button.
@jackeric @notsle @ricardoharvin personally I’d say avoid it like the plague. Rowling takes any engagement with Potter as an endorsement of her hate campaign, don’t give her fuel.
@Edent I think posting this cursed me as I was woken in the night by my bedside clock turning all its LEDs on while mysteriously no longer displaying the current date and time. (It is still receiving updates on the current cost of energy though)
@Edent sounds as good a reason as any. At least it’s not a device you wrote the firmware for so you can just shrug rather than knowing ultimately the blinding light at 3am is your own fault [gives the side eye to his bedside clock]
@Edent usually it would tell you why in the log. It not having a reason (an action triggered by a person or an automation run) suggests the light itself or the hub it’s connected to triggered it.
@fesshole that’s ok, nobody could smell anyway what with all the coke.
I decided to quickly make a minor change to how some data was structured on Saturday morning. “It’ll be quick” I said to myself. “It’ll be easy” I said.
It’s now 4pm on Monday and somehow I’m still doing it (admittedly I have taken several very long breaks in the intervening period). The intent was to save myself a really quite small amount of time which will never be paid back, but I’m so deep down the rabbit hole I refuse to give up.
I know it’s petty but I cringe everytime I see login, logout, signup used as verbs rather than log in, log out, and sign up.
Considerate of this hotel to provide a door sign to use when you definitely aren’t doing any crimes in your room.
It’s time for my bi-annual campaign (posting a salty post) to rename British Summer Time to British Standard Time and then abolish this clock changing nonsense. If we do that way we’ll even have the gammons on board immediately, guaranteeing success.
Everytime I watch it I’m amazed the BBC haven’t managed to do anything about how much the iPlayer encoders hate Gladiators. Loads of pyros, massive video walls/floors everywhere, and fast moving motion seems to make them collapse into something that looks like it was shot on VHS.
