Unprompted thought of the day: Is Karen (as in a person who just loves to complain) now a valid word in Scrabble?

The boy also enjoying climbing is generally good, it’s great to have something active we can do together. It does make a session very demanding though; in the gaps between boulders where I’d usually sit and relax I instead find myself climbing halfway up something to show him something.
Anyway, I’m ludicrously proud of him today, he’s got to a point where he’s willing to keep trying at things rather than bail after a couple of failures.
I’ve got a working CO2 sensor again and I’m not sure I like it. I’m constantly being informed levels have gone above 1000ppm again because realistically I don’t want to have the windows open all the time when it’s 7c outside.
Truly living the life as I spend my Saturday afternoon migrating task management software to something that isn’t only available on Apple devices.
May I strongly recommend https://lunatask.app for those with spicy brains, it’s got a great model for tracking things, and has a really nice story around encryption/import/export.
@quixoticgeek @idnorton @stefano in a previous job we got acquired and spent a chunk of time working out what would be needed for a major pivot. As a team we came back with “this can’t be done in less than a year”, but Project Management stepped in and said “well, if we do all these things in parallel it could be as little as six months”.
I quit a little over a year later, nothing had been shipped. My understanding is it went live a few months after that.
Today, in incredibly petty things I’d change if put in charge, I would outlaw Brands. No more of one company having different lines of products to hide behind and vary pricing around. You may be a Company, but that company has a name and a logo, and they must feature prominently wherever you’re selling a thing.
Fuck up your reputation with a terrible product? Bad luck. You should have made a good one instead, no rebranding to throw people off the scent.
@bob @marquisdegeek I see your beer barrel urinals and raise you some mad horses. (Despite appearances, not generated by a machine, because that didn’t exist when I took this photo)
@mhoye @solderandchaos this is the best thing I’ve seen all day, absolutely losing it here.
@edbilodeau @misty I dread to think what cursed combination of features resulted in that. Presumably if it were allowed Frontpage Extensions would be automatically enabled or something.
I have watched a lot of ER over the last week while being ill and I think my favourite bit is the music they roll out everytime a moment happens between Doug Ross and Carol Hathaway. It’s only ever used then, like they wrote a theme tune just for their messy relationship.
