Jesus Christ. I ordered some takeaway from Uber Eats because it’s the only app that store is on and their website is awful.
As I was plating: “Did the food get delivered? Tell us when, help us train our model.”
20 minutes later: “Rate your meal”
Just now: “Pweeeease will you rate your meal?”
STOP BEING SO NEEDY COMPANIES.
@an0key I look forward to your “I bought every flavour of baked beans in my Tesco Local” YouTube video.
Tried to climb this evening having not registered the 12km I’ve walked today because it wasn’t recreational walking. To the surprise of nobody but me it was unimpressive, gave up after 40 minutes of barely dragging myself up the simplest boulders.
@cmconseils tough choice that. I think I’ll take the chemicals on reflection.
And a very fuck you to the person who labelled two breakers “sockets” without distinguishing which sockets. My first guess wasn’t the kitchen, it was the sockets with my entire network and home automation set up plugged into them. Thankfully everything appears to have just come back up cleanly.
This morning I have cleared a drain pipe of a minging fatberg, and replaced a plug socket. Pretty sure this entitles me to 1 (one) week off being an adult.
Because of the complexity of its pronouns, the Vietnamese translation adds an extra layer of depth to the otherwise shallow dialogue of the Star Wars original trilogy, which I watched on TV in Vietnam.
People speak to droids with the pronouns used to speak to pets or farm animals. Droids address people as professional superiors.
Droids speak to each other like they are siblings.
Vader speaks to everyone (except the emperor and Tarkin) as an arrogant superior addressing an underling.
@vncresolver Report background tabs. Checks out that this is from China.
@whitequark @gsuberland the thing I find weird is that for some time Mojang have published the information to deobfuscate it, and I don’t really understand why. Surely at that point they could just not obfuscate it in the first place and save everyone the effort.
But also, V1 flash, which is a rare achievement for me especially with one that steep. I’ll take the carpet burn.
Achievement Unlocked: Planted into the mat from near the top of a boulder because while I’d got up, I had insufficient energy left to get back down again.
I’ve decided I’m dubbing VR headsets “funny metaverse hats”. Sorry, Zuck, you brought that one on yourself.
@normjess agreed. Who do you think people *should* support? We need to change that to something positive - personally I think the Greens are a good option currently, opinions may vary, but “they’re all shit, give up hope” isn’t going to change any minds.
Me, 90 minutes ago: I’ll see how far I get on this in half an hour.
@simon does this mean the conference badge arms race can finally end or do we have to see an escalation through more CPU and RAM now?
On the plus side, I completed not one but two climbs I’ve been struggling with for some time today. On the negative side, good God, my entire body aches now.
I’m very much enjoying having A Project but it’s not doing my sleep cycle any good at all. Or more accurately my sleep deficit, because unfortunately just because I’m going to bed an hour or so late most nights doesn’t mean I can get up an hour or so late the next day.
@solderandchaos highly variable apparently. 1.8-7.9kph across the last year.
I always find the build up to remembrance day difficult - because the mainstream way to remember is not the way I remember
Because many who say "lest we forget" - remember only what they choose to
Because we have forgotten to fight nazis
Because the UK forgot that the EU was the way we ensured "never again"
Because they gave everything and went through hell to save our world - now we argue about giving up plastic straws to save it for our kids.
I left my ISP a less than perfect Trustpilot review yesterday, broadly summarised as “good internet, wish they’d stop begging for a good review”. Their response was to call me, and then when I didn’t pick up email, to see if might be persuaded to make the review better.
I’m tempted to go drop it a star in response. Regardless, this is now going to be my response to all NPS score emails where it’s clear the answer won’t result in a callcentre worker getting bollocked.
News site developers who push your site’s home page into the history stack over the top of wherever I came from: there’s a special place in hell for you.
It’s not terrible or anything. Just an eternity of mild annoyances getting in the way of going where you want to be.
