Now I’m thinking about the old e-penis hardware algorithm scripts for IRC!

APNG wasn’t officially part of the spec?!

I was fortunate to find something that I have enough skills for but I absolutely agree on the polymath thing. One would think that it’d be a useful skillset to have but I don’t think most businesses can grasp the concept. As a result my employer doesn’t receive anywhere near the benefits they could from me.

Yeah, I always found it weird when people would act like they have it so cushy. On a material comfort level, sure, but on basically every other level it sounds awful. You couldn’t pay me to put myself or my children through that.

Footballers who get paid a packet and can then vanish into obscurity if they so choose? That sounds like the good life.

Hard pass on the gilded cage thing. I’m no monarchist, so now that the single nationalised granny initiative is over I’m wondering whether we’ll keep them. Inertia will probably keep it going for a while yet. Transitioning away from them seems like it’d probably somehow be even more expensive and troublesome than living with them. A bit like trying to totally rid a large building of mice.

Whenever I hear “King Charles” I think “Who? That can’t be right”.

That crust looks divine.

I’m reminded of Louise Belcher describing safety tape:

Gene: Are we safe here? Louise: Of course! It’s safety tape. They can’t just call it that if it’s (screaming as the mechanical shark smashes through the safety tape)

It’s the same reason I look both ways before crossing the street even if it’s a one-way street - just because something isn’t allowed doesn’t actually stop it from happening.

Brennan is not going to be happy.

Here you go: “Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows” https://piefed.social/post/961417 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/jun/20/students-in-england-graduate-average-debt-increase

Don’t anthropomorphise your onions - they don’t like it.

Work wanted me to go to the US for a thing and thankfully I had family reasons for being able to say no. I’m not setting foot in that country in a long time.

Doesn’t Commander T’Ana in Lower Decks swear constantly?

I was a young teen when it happened and it just seemed ridiculous that anyone would be naïve enough to fall for the extremely obvious lies.

It wasn’t okay the first time around either. Anyone credulous enough to believe that obvious bullshit shouldn’t have been allowed to form legal contracts for their own safety.

I enjoyed Wasteland 3 a great deal too.

I rather enjoyed Gears Tactics a few years ago.

Without proper consequences their behaviour will continue.

Sounds like an improvement.

The fascist Hippocratic oath: “First do LOTS of harm”

It turns out that maybe having a gentlemen’s agreement for how things should work was a bad idea.
