@nprofile…jc9n makes it an absolute disgrace it's not compulsory here in #WesternAustralia #Australia

Was about to order my son a #Lego Back to the Future #DeLorean. Then I remembered he hasn't seen the films. It won't mean anything to him.
His generation is truly lost.

I was in second best seat on bus. We stopped and dude in seat number 1 got off. I pounced and beat a girl from behind to take primary position. She has deflatedly sat in number 2. Starting the day with a #win

Nothing like packing the car full of camping gear in front of rival dads, getting ready to set off and finding the car battery dead.

@nprofile…4asf i don't think so. i suspect it's just H&S spotting a risk that's been there forever and that there's a solution they can implement.
Hopefully they're not going to be looking too hard in there for other issues lol

Health and Safety means we're now going to have to wear "Personal Gas Monitors" when entering some rooms. In case there's not enough oxygen in them. No one is appreciating my "personal gas" jokes. These people really need to cheer up.

@nprofile…4asf it turned out to be a good meeting, probably summarised as "customer wanted champagne service on beer budget". Got beer.

2025-03-20 02:42:49

in my office today for a "Black Hat" meeting about how "C&C" was an obstacle to something. I had to look up what "Black Hat" means to them. Apparently it's some Project Manager stuff about having 6 hats or something. Still not sure on "C&C". Anyway, sounds like I've got a "please explain" meeting to do with why something took 4 months because no one could agree on whether to tell me to do it or not.

bloke opposite moved in a couple of weeks back. he put his bins out last night. everyone else has now too. it's not our bin day.

kudos to the woman here from another company who has her laptop open and just goes and wiggles the trackpad every so often to keep Teams active.

@nprofile…240e CoPilot says "That quote is attributed to Paul Graham, a well-known computer scientist, entrepreneur, and author. He's contributed significantly to the field of programming and startup culture, with many insightful essays and books under his belt."
But idk how much you trust it lol

@nprofile…j90y That would annoy me intensely. I mostly fall asleep to Newshour and listen to various podcasts through the app.
However, some of the podcasts do have an RSS feed so if you have a compatible app you can auto-download them. I guess that might go away too.
And there's a couple of alternatives to getting that content downloaded.
I've never found a radio station in Australia that I can listen to in the car, so lots of BBC shows get downloaded onto a memory card and played in there (our car isn't new enough for Android Auto or whatever). Does cause passengers some confusion sometimes.

@nprofile…aqq5 for my work desk it's YouTube Music because I still pay for premium for no ads and storage and stuff. Even though I'm attempting to de-Google I can't get rid of that yet for the family.
Reminds me, there's some absolute crap on their the kids watch that I need to go and block. Mainly a couple of whiny American kids doing toy stuff. Blippi got blocked years ago lol

My random music playing thing has started giving me Christian rock music, which I've nothing against, but man, I must have screwed that algorithm somehow.

@nprofile…y54t i wonder if, with my simplistic understanding of power grids. the idea of using the excess to pump water uphill for later power-generating descent is in any way practical or helpful. Would certainly surprise some fish.

@nprofile…aqq5 local pub does a dish of roasted ones sprinkled with crushed cashews which I keep meaning to try and replicate. But it's a bit dry and needs something. Had been thinking something with a bit of sweetness, perhaps riffing off the obvious cranberry sauce association

@nprofile…aqq5 turkey can be hard to cook. too big, don't do it often etc. usually a bit of a gamble for me.
I've not yet done my Christmas dinner menu. Not feeling very inspired yet. Obvs there will be brussels sprouts in some form.
For you guys after Thanksgiving is it then a case of looking forward to much the same menu at Christmas? I think I remember being told goose is the go-to.

@nprofile…5f2h My mother has a similar age and size #Panasonic that just won't die. It's moved house about 8 times too. Heavy af and heats the house nicely in winter. And is surprisingly is actually loud enough for her increasing deafness

@npub1fuh…3kut I remember a time in a role long ago where users would frequently report faulty keyboards. Often because they'd filled them with crumbs and who knows what. We'd chuck them through the dishwasher. If they came out working, great. If they didn't, in the e-waste they went anyway.

I've just been told that the proposed under-16 #socialmedia ban here in #Australia has this definition:
"The code defines social media as electronic services that meet the following conditions: The sole or primary purpose of the service is to enable online social interaction between two or more end users
The service allows end users to link to, or interact with, some or all other end users
The service allows end users to post material on the service
Such other conditions (if any) as are set out in the legislative rules."
Good luck with that.
