Three Quarters of a mile????? I am going insane dog, on Saturday I literally chose to walk that distance to and from the local hardware store because driving would've saved maybe 2 minites and getting my keys/driving/parking would've been more effort than just taking a 10 minute walk

Can you believe that people say these are hard to work on? All you have to do is take the entire engine and subframe out to do a clutch... (Also the engine still isn't out, it keeps snagging on the chassis, so that's today's job)

Vibe coding? Heh. AI is inevitable. Yall are just afraid of the future *smirk* 😏

On a semi-related note, came across a 1/2" fitting today, my 13mm was slipping on it and my local DIY shop didn't have anything in old money Fortunately, when I got home I realised I have the specific hardware I need (Vice grips and fire)

I know this is just workwear with the arms cut off but I think "Lesbian Mechanic on Interstellar Transports" is my favourite look and genuinely, being undeniably both "woman" and "grease monkey" gives me serious gender euphoria. (which almost makes up for how much of a pig my car is to work on)

Today I learned a valuable lesson working on my 20 year old MG No matter how shit the materials used for bolts were, how hard its rusted to the nut, no matter how easily it shears... It's nowhere near as shit as the quality of the welds keeping the nut captive lmao So anyway, rivnuts are cool

Ah yes, first weekend of the year that feels like spring, time for... *Spins the wheel* ...WASP IN THE KITCHEN!!! Well, at least it's not "hayfever" or "flooding". Now to gently encourage this noisy yellow arsehole to leave...

1. "Here's an extreme idea. We're platforming it, so that people can watch out." 2. "This idea is gaining traction. We're publishing an op-ed in favour, for balance." 3. "This idea is popular now. Why does the left refuse to consider it?"

Watched an old Suzie Eddie Izzard standup & this bit about Mass Murder applies bizarrely well to art and AI Pirate a song from Napster & the RIAA sues you for $10K Create Napster and Lars Ulrich will sue you for $10M Upload a song to YT & the label wiggles their finger & takes the ad money (1/2)

Eyes on the prize...

Dramatic scenes at BBC Breakfast.

I am an intellectual tour de force

Had one of my best "Welsh Moments" by making a soundboard clip from 'Song Request' by Ray Vulpe of specifically the line "Wait, Hit 'em with the shit that go like 𝓑𝓪𝓪 🐑"

I love when you find a compilation album on a streaming service which is called something like "PURE 2K6 PARTY ANTHEMS!!!" and it's less than 3 songs deep before it has "How to save a life" by The Fray and you wonder if this is the kind of party where you should be avoiding the Kool-Aid

Straight up, Toy Commander. A tiny war between toys in various rooms of a house, where you drive tanks and trucks, fly helicopters and planes, drive up walls, drop landmines (which are ofcourse thumbtacks) attack bases, compete in races... Also the defining 4 player splitscreen of my youth

Subscribed to Nebula and honestly I'm pretty happy with it. Some of the exclusives genuinely are very good, and take advantage of the "not youtube" ability to have licensed music and actually say words like "suicide" instead of the "unalived" double-plus-ungood linguistic games bullshit YT forces.

In January 2001, in the OPM2 letters page, Kenneth from Denmark saw the future.

Mild Take: If it's fine & above board to call the Conservative Party the "Tory" party (A name they've not used for ~200 years) then it's fair game to call "Reform" their original name of "The Brexit Party" Farage's entire political career was to chase that goal, and it's HIS disaster to own.

I hate Keir Starmer. Repost if you also hate Keir Starmer

Man, look at that very visibly queer dude gyrating around on stage, living his best life like no-one is watching... 💚 Now, if only we could get in him booty shorts like the fine dude on his right...

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

No kings attendees could easily turn it into a general strike and really get things rolling. They are so close to getting it.

The way Gen Z call eachother Twin, Queen and King (which are all sizes of bed) proves their generation only wants one thing and honestly I respect it.

One of my fav ironies of GenAI being pushed by tech-bros who think coding, unlike art is "real work" and dismissively treating artists as obstacles to overcome by machines, is that machines are much better at generating instructions for machines than images, so in-turn, the leopards eat THEIR faces.

Being unable to answer the door and getting one of the Watchtower/Jehovah's Witness slips through the door gives me an equal and opposite reaction to getting a "Sorry We Missed You; we'll try again tomorrow" slip from a postie when I'm expecting a package

I still subconsciously put my feet right to the corner of stairs because the wooden stairs that lead to my childhood room would creak if I put my weight in the middle of them. If I'm staying with someone & need to use the stairs at night when people are sleeping I freak tf out if one makes a sound.

I miss cohost

Did some car work today. It's small but after a year with the rear right on stands my MG is finally on all 4 wheels again. Honestly I'm just glad that in that time none of the hardware went missing 😅 It's only back together enough to roll it around, but it's a good start to working on it again

The Lib Dems will argue that it's an unofficial group made up of Lib Dem members. Just using an entire room at the official Lib Dem conference for over 1 and a half hours to spout vile anti-bigotry while trans people are present. Source: youtu.be/xnb27TMcbGQ?...

The Ploopy Knob is an open-source control dial for your PC (I'm using it to ape a function I had on a Gamer™ Headset where I could change the balance of VC Volume and Everything else, like if a game got loud and I couldn't hear call, or if I need to focus and my friends are all talking bollocks)

It amuses me that over the past year I've slowly been learning that whilst I'm definitely ADHD, I'm fairly certain that I'm also mildly autistic... At the same time my definitely Autistic nesting partner is having similar realisations about probably being mildly ADHD

i am finally in possession of a ploopy knob

I fucking love ambien posting dude

I wonder if the death of AI will cause a rollback on age verification. It hinges on "If you don't want ID/Cards scanned & potentially leaked, just let us digitise your face, so your online presence can be directly tied to it :)))" and for that, AI needs to... exist. Oh hey, 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘤.

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

Another classic L for Flintshire, aka "The Scouse Alps". The county with the highest number of people identifying as "English" only in all of Cymru (21.5%!), and higher than almost all regions actually in England.

Pouring one out for the Russian Texit psyop. I will miss hearing about Texas's plentiful warm water ports </3

thank you chiitan

Enjoy that century of humiliation I guess

I don't think this YT reply helps... Mk 1 Golf - 750KG - An car for 5 people MK 4 Golf - 1080KG - An car for 5 people (And you can survive a crash at motorway speeds) Mk 8 Golf - 1480 KG - An car for 5 people (And you can survive a crash at motorway speeds, also the driver is incompetent)
