the miss's co-worker was who tipped the miss off that resi 9 was out. she told me to buy it and to start downloading because she expected it to take a while. it took 15 min to download and install ~70gb. last night her co-worker messaged her like "it's *still* downloading :(((" as we were playing.

tony blair resigned as middle east peace envoy and then all this happens. coincidence?

oh cool, abu dhabi.

oh cool, riyadh.

oh cool, iran.

with the addition of resident evil 9 this turned into 2 extra cups of tea and 4 espressos. i fucked up.

watching an episode of stargate atlantis (s02e16: the long goodbye) absolute dork shit but this ep came out in 2006 and they're talking about a fire suppression system that uses halon gas and it's being threatened as a weapon. we stopped using halon in the mid to late 90s because it killed people.

the miss got done for the night because she got tired on a section and i was like "can i have a go?" restarted the chapter but i didn't bother with the objective and fucked around, broke the AI, upset the physics, and fell through the world. i am so good at videogames.

resident evil 9 bayyyybeeee go the miss, go!

the miss has got resident evil 9. i'm wondering how long it takes before she gets scared and i have to take over. note: this is not shaming. she often buys scary games and plays a little and then enjoys watching me play them like i'm a DVD player. it's a tradition.

risky 6:30pm cup of tea.

sick, i'd been looking for something climbing/parkour-ish after i finished lorn's lure a while back. this might just be it.

okay, politicians should not be liking my posts. something has gone wrong. i need to recalibrate.

Happy Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil

[ticket comes in] user: can you take a look at these sftp settings i've been given? they're not working. remote on now if you can. me responding within 1 minute: sure, but your device is offline. can you ensure it's on and connected to the internet please? user: *crickets* *1 hour later* me: hello?

clive lewis absolutely torching labour, keir starmer, and wes streeting here.

noodling

choon.

i hate people who read phone numbers wrong. normal: 01234 123 123 weirdos: 01234 1234 12 why are you doing this? obey the norm. the worst i've heard: 0123 123 123 1 should be awkward back: zero, one thousand two hundred and thirty four, one hundred and twenty three, one hundred and twenty three.

Caught me on the counter (It wasn't me) Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me) Even had her in the shower (It wasn't me) Even caught me on camera (It wasn't me) Saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me) Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)

damn, the gorton & denton turnout was 47%. that's pretty fucking high for a by-election.

with all the language being used i'd like to point out it's not against the law to "collude" or "confer" with friends or family when deciding how to vote. the language in the law is "influencing" someone to vote in a particular way. having a chat about how you're voting is not that.

has anyone from the labour party wheeled out the "family voting" fraud shit yet? given how they copy everything reform does it's surely only a matter of time.

😊 morning

bacon sandwich time i think.

oh wow, the tories did so bad in gorton and denton they lost their deposit.

i can't wait to see how labour is totally normal about coming 3rd.

*sucks air through teeth* "looks like a big job, it's not going to be cheap."

everything is america now.

slow cooked korean beef short ribs with kimchi, pak choi, rice, drizzled with a sauce made from the braising liquid. nice food to just pull out of the freezer and microwave. took 15 minutes to put together. i love bulk cooking.

Post old memes to confuse young people.

so i watched so much curling over the winter olympics and knew it took a lot of effort to make and maintain curling ice, but i did not realise just *how much* effort it takes to make curling ice. this is an amazing, if deadly serious, video from the canadian curling association.

wow, how did they figure out it was boebert???

guess who just burned rice to the bottom of a pan becauuse they got distracted by @mattround.com's flappy bird game and forgot to set a timer

these fucking handles suck. there's only like 2 threads that go into the handle and they strip so easily. this is the 3rd handle i'm having to araldite back on.

if you don't hear from me i've been abducted by the cornish national liberation army and you should send help.

remembered this post and glad to report some fucking idiot did it again. the guy worked on Neom's The Line and it drove insane so when he came back to the UK he just wanted to continue to build The Line but this time in a circle and with trains. someone always wants to build over the irish sea.

ignoring the extremely dumb bit about epstein wanting to use NSA signal intelligence to do biology or whatever... peter mandelson was the first secretary of state, secretary of state for business and trade, and lord president of the privy council at this point in time. extremely fucking sus.

i just want to do some sanding but it's predicted to rain. yesterday i got my workbench out, set everything up, and started sanding then 5 minutes later it started pissing it down. i will not be made a fool by the rain again.

the epstein files being released shows a massive failure in the US criminal justice system. it failed so completely the only way to "build trust" was to release them. however it's also been a big boon to the rest of the world because there's no way in hell the US would've shared this shit with us.

being a bit smelly and getting asked "have you ever heard of soap?" and bursting into tears as i remember he's dead.

🎵 he's bud the spud, from the bright red mud, rolling down the highway smiling. the spuds are big on the back of bud's rig; they're from prince edward island. 🎵 stompin' tom is the answer to question "what if johnny cash was canadian?"

kimchi fried rice (shallot, garlic, kimchi, kimchi juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang) with salmon marinaded in garlic, ginger, honey, miso, soy sauce, and sesame oil drizzled with a sticky sauce made from the marinade and garnished with spring onion and sesame seeds. i fucking love cooking.
