“gotta see shit to know shit” someone once said to me

It pops into my head semi-regularly

Turkey is an amazing country with amazing people in it

The unfortunate part is their leader is the opposite and is currently holding their country and people hostage

Was Louisiana around at the same time as the first image?

Was the (yet to be) United States just Virginia and Louisiana at one point?

What a crazy world that would be if that stayed the case

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

There’s precisely a 3 minute window of time, between the churro being the temperature of the sun and it being unpleasantly cold, where they’re good.

Also it must always be served with the chocolate sauce, even in the window they’re a bit lacking without

FWIW, it mentions in the link that the method was via overpowering the analogue microwave link between the station and the broadcast transmitter

Antidisestablishmentarianism

opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England

Also bonus Welsh town name:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Literally translated, the long form of the name means: “[The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll) of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near to [lit. “over against”] (go ger) the fierce whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (gogo[f] goch)”

Oh I was hoping they’d done specs and a customisation options page too

Cheers, hope you have/are having a good weekend too. I’m intrigued by your shipping containers. Are you getting something delivered, shipping something or doing something interesting with the containers themselves?

Funnily enough I live about a 15 minute drive from Stockport, I’m happy to report we’re currently having our one weekend of sun for the year.

Of course it is, they’re out enjoying the holiday

I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.

It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.

About 35-40h generally, I’m a software engineer.

I enjoy my job, but ultimately the point of me doing my work is to be able to do whatever I want with my free time. Life is for living after all

You’ve definitely found them and you’ve already picked a few of my favourite tracks—I’m happy to have introduced you

It’s a pretty good film, worth a watch if it’s the kind of thing you’re into

Everything Everything

They’ve written some of my favourite albums over the past decade or so

This is either a beer snack or mental illness

Absolutely zero if I’m trying to sleep or only just waking up

Managed amounts if I’m watching a TV or using a computer

Any other time, let the light in, my plants need to eat

Monkey ball just makes me think of Nick Robinson now

Great game though

Is it just me that sees double strikethroughs on the dollar symbol hilariously childish?

I kinda feel like heat would be wasted energy that could be used to ｇｒｏｗ

I think it’s a punk bar themed around the late Motorhead frontman, but I only walked past it a couple of times
