Ace, thanks. I see enough of them while vacuuming my flat; having one on the wall seems fitting. It’s lovely
Do you treat the completed works with anything to protect against errant fingers and other contact, prior to framing? I’ve never bought graphite art originals before
LMK if you put the original up in your store? Do want
Cast-off cat claw?
OK, here's our story on the wild situation in Manhattan today where the Justice Department settled a monopolization case against Live Nation without telling its own lawyers.
We got one week of testimony that was going really badly for the company. But corruption won out.

You Could Be Mine
Estranged
Coma

in the car. They were so unbelievably great then. Unique and unmistakeable. Probably my most-sung-along-to songs (also Rocket Queen and Night Train)
Sounds unforgettable. I hope this was when Axl’s voice was in its prime
Abolish DST or (as parts of Canadia just did) abolish switching it on/off?
I guess it’s kinda the same thing
They’re always shocked to learn that other countries exist
New Costco fan “This photo is a great testament to the Costco hot dog/soda deal,” says Lisa Wissman, of Fishers, Indiana, a longtime Costco member and proud new grandmother. “The hot dog is about the same length as my new grandson Archer!”
just found out America's third largest magazine is Costco Connection and its circulation is nearly 16 million 🤯
also it features stuff like size comparisons of babies and hotdogs
Willie, a white/mostly-tabby cat, lying on the floor on his side with his front paws in the air, looking at me and waiting for belly rubs
Every single time I arrive home. Belly rubs required! #cats
Wish you could do more things with her. Like randomly driving around and watching the city happen around you
The mod where you can take chooms (not just Johnny) on the rollercoaster is cool tho
After 6 months of texts/calls/emails/forms/support requests, the dark cloud with teeth is officially my cat.
Still trying to sort out Willie’s paperwork.
What a mess.
Note: ZERO blame attributed to any level of government/their staff/systems; they all did their jobs just fine and were helpful.
Attempting #cyberpunk2077 “somewhat damaged” mission again but going to bed before the extra-scary bits.
Last time I tried this it left me jittery and on edge literally all night and I couldn’t sleep. Had to take a day off.
Want the platinum steam trophy, then to never attempt it ever again, ever.
Much-loved former colleague — one of the top3 best people I’ve ever worked with — sketched me on the tablecloth at my farewell lunch when I left Fairfax.
It took 2 years but eventually convinced him to follow me, and he’s still at that place now :-)
The classics stay that way for a reason
What’s the home-charging situation like in apartment buildings over there?
Are there rules requiring building management to approve/install charging infrastructure?

Today in The Supervisor Is Watching:
BREAKING: my #cats are hungry
I saw a bumper sticker once that said “motorcyclists understand why dogs stick their head out the window” and … yes
Excellent doggo
I appreciate him even if I never use those things he worked on!
I imagine it to be a pretty thankless stream of work?
Management structures/tendencies aggravate that difficulty of maintenance also.
eg. Product orgs insisting on always prioritising features over bugfixes/patching, and insisting on being empowered to micromanage engineering
Consistently the most toxic people IME
If that’s not diesel it has a rather shorter shelf life than TP rolls tho
Australian bureau of meteorology 128km rain plot from Sydney’s weather radar at Terrey Hills. It shows a secondary rainy pattern following the much larger rainy pattern that’s just passing over Sydney now. It does not appear (yet) on the 64km radar
Looks like there’s an sneaky bonus rain on the way for people who only looked at the 64km Terrey Hills radar, not 128km, and thought it was safe 🤭
I think you may be missing the “can I even boot it?” angle here. Were you not around last time we railed against Secure Boot/UEFI?
I’m surprised I missed this reporting last year, this is some of the most Californian “protect the kids” shit money can buy.
#sydney peeps: where can I get, to quote one of my favourite films, “a pretty fucken good milkshake”? Just vanilla, nothing fancy wanted.
Hard Rock Cafe in Pyrmont was my old standard (really the only reason to go there IMO), but of course is long gone. I haven’t had anything that compares since
Don’t apologize to me.
It’s your customers that deserve apologies.
Getting the impression that you have understood nothing here. I’m done
I wasn’t arguing for over- (or under-) design anywhere
I’m just saying that deriding customers like that is classic toxic techbro behaviour and you should grow the hell up and try genuinely listening* to them instead
* this means they talk, uninterrupted while you shutup and take careful notes
Now I want a milkshake, curse you
