Bluey (funny for everyone)

Sarah and Duck (epic chill)

Grace’s Amazing Machines (music by The Darkness, and machines)

All tied, for different reasons.

Honorable mention to Numberblocks, which I can’t stand, but has my about-to-start-schooler telling me number sentences when he should be going to sleep, A+.

Mine has buttons to set seats, you still have to do the mirror. It is wild how different my wife’s settings are to mine.

Yesterday (Thursday) I spent the day shifting stuff out of the garage (about to be knocked down) into a self store. The room we’ve got there is up some steps.

After a long day, I dropped a heavy thing on my foot. Felt like a fool, and also in amazing pain. Took my sock off there sat on/in the car boot to have a look (gross is all I’ll say). That’s all my race training postponed for a week at least (supposed to be Triathloning).

Then had to hulk the rest of the stuff up the stairs and finish up, because it was just me! Luckily that was the last car load.

Learned my lesson, next time I’m bringing a friend. And possibly steel capped boots.

Short sightedness in politics is already painful for all of us.

Nobody’s tackling climate change, nobody’s building anything fairer for younger generations, especially in places without enough housing (and what there is owned by older generations).

I won’t list all the problems this would make worse, but for example, do you really want a government with only 6 months to do 2-3 extreme populist things, hoping to dredge up enough support to get a larger mandate next time?

Oh no! Anyway…

I actually use a dice (D6, 50:50 choice usually) to decide between two options sometimes.

The idea is to fool my brain into revealing what it really wants. Like, if I can’t decide, I’ll assign each choice odds or evens, then roll.

If I’m OK with the result, then it decided for me no problem. Maybe I didn’t care, maybe I preferred what I rolled.

If I don’t like it, then RNG just showed me what I really wanted – now I can go with the other option.

Reduces decision fatigue, and speeds up my life. I’ve been teaching it to my kids (although their favourite RNG is the Chwazi app.)

I recommend Kaon’s Wonderland (novel).

They literally build a solar panel that blocks the sun, so they can charge people for the heat and light.

Congestion charge initial draft was bonkers, it included the park and ride car parks!

I don’t mind it, as I essentially never drive in the city anymore, but I also don’t have a vote because I live elsewhere and commute in.

Only place I use cash for is the Fish and Chip shop. They did have contactless during covid, but the transaction fees from the bank are a big % if most of your custom is small orders, so they bite those for online orders and it’s cash only in the shop.

Hell, half the trousers I buy come with a belt. (It’s a problem for vegan trouser-customers actually, as many of the free belts are crappy cheap leather, meaning you can’t buy the otherwise cruelty free trousers.)

Most of the places I’ve worked, yes.

Sometimes though, only in your team. (E.g. walking through a big open plan area, don’t interrupt 15 people on your way past to say hello).

There are quite a few communities I’d love to see migrate, and I’ll be posting a few messages if I see a non-spammy chance. I won’t be randomly commenting on all posts though, that’s a way to get banned.

Of the communities with no equivalent here yet, some are just continuing with posts as normal (so I could post), while others have been dark since the protest, so no way to ping them.

TIL they never had a year 0. So the whole damn calendar is an off by one error 🤯

Thought I still had to head back to reddit for the Triathlon threads, but here we are.

As @[email protected] said above, Ctrl+S

Can’t just hit enter to run the one you want then, though.

This is scooby doo villain stuff, seriously. I’m partly glad their villainous acts are this small, then I remember all the other stuff they’re up to.

Ctrl+R

Then type any part of the command (filename, search string, etc)

Ctrl+R again to cycle through the matches.

(Best feature in bash)
