@Tattooed_Mummy it’s like a guess how many smarties are in the jar competition. Is there £300 or more of £2 coins in the box? (And are they fake)
@an0key someone sold this shit to the hotel, someone else bought it, and presumably several other people signed off on the whole thing.
One day I’ll have my conscience surgically removed and make a shitload of money flinging half arsed shit over the wall.
All new housing developments should be built with a shop and a pub, and a playground that is actually useable, not just a miniature slide plonked on it's own to a fulfil planning regulation.
Just climbed the hardest thing I’ve ever got to the top of, then dismounted by dangling with a single hand from a hold a good 12’ above the ground before dropping myself down, like a god damn action hero. (Thankfully there is no video to disabuse me of the notion that this looked elegant, rather than being a desperate last ditch effort not to fall on my arse from 12’ up)
Finding a business model for an open source projects is really hard, but "pay us to remove the catgirl pictures if you want to look professional" is one of the coolest attempts I've seen so far:

@jonty the Enterprise is designed for crew to take their families along, so they said “oh, it’s fine, the saucer will run away whenever your kids may be in danger” and then they put in place a sign off process so onerous it only happened when all senior management were out and Geordie has been left in command. Perfectly believable.
Well now I just look silly. The very next episode they split the ship.
20 episodes into my rewatch of TNG and Riker has remembered they can pop the saucer off for dodgy situations like Romulans showing up. They didn’t do it of course. Not sure they ever do between the pilot episode and Generations.
@jonathanhogg RIP. I had an eye test today and they’re threatening me with varifocals next time.
you can design an economy to facilitate the solving of people's material problems, or you can design it to facilitate the accumulation of wealth. economics as it is practiced is not a science but a body of propaganda whose aim is to convince the general public that these two design goals are not manifestly at odds with one another.
@dave what!? I endorse their ingenuity but that is not even slightly what I thought was pictured. I’d read it as USB-C on both ends, with PD and Ethernet.
@dave I’m confused by this but do need to know where you found a USB-C wall plug, I reckon they’re the future. (Doubly so if it also does Ethernet over that cable)
Googled “I’m always angry” because I couldn’t remember how the Bruce Banner line goes. From the results I think I may be on some sort of watch list for people with anger management issues.
@RickiTarr damn straight. My most left wing opinion is that we should implement UBI as fast as possible, and that I consider someone being able to sit in a chair and watch Simpsons reruns for the rest of their life a positive if it means someone else can choose to make art instead of cleaning toilets.
@0xabad1dea I do it quite a lot for the purposes of sending links to specific chunks of code to people. Stuff like “oh, that’s implemented here”.
@0xabad1dea I think this is one of those things where different classes of user want polar opposites. My suggestion would be that if you’re a contributor to repo, readme down bottom, you’re probably here for code. If you’re not, up top, you probably want some context.
My favourite event is definitely the one where they have to position a cardboard cutout of some dancers next to the track so that it’s as close as possible to the tram without hitting it. 500 points available, but if they touch it or are too far away they get nothing.
This is oddly gripping. I had plans for this morning and they’ve all been usurped by Tram Curling.

@jackeric Hetzner. $15-$30ish per month, 2 vCPUs, 8-16GB RAM, 80-160GB storage, ungodly amounts of bandwidth.
@jarkman it would if I didn’t find it looking for the talking Talking Flower Nintendo just announced, in a presentation laser targeted to sell me Mario branded bullshit.
