I want to make this very clear. I do not endorse cannibalism

Traveling to Nottingham for work today. Pray for me

I find that mirror universe EPs are much more fun if you pretend you are in the mirror universe when you watch. Vile xenos! Get them damn Vulcans off the bridge!

It's actually wild that star trek aliens decorate their ships in the same colour scheme as their bodies. You know like Orions making things green. It would be like if a bunch of people lived in rooms that were primarily painted some form of beige. Oh wait

The conversation I've been apart of this morning. Middle manager: so high level manager doesn't want us to use ai because of worries over data security. Me (to myself): wow a sensible manager. Middle manager: but we're going to use it anyway. Me: ffs

It's wild when you think about it. Billions in investment, the total efforts of some of humanities greatest minds, all to sustain nuclear fusion. And all so we can boil water and my turbine go spinney

Let all within range of my voice gear me and know, I have the heart of a lion. And subsequently a lifetime ban from the zoo

*looks at my bucket full of Reed stock* Oh yeah, I'm in this for the long haul

Just watched back to the future part 3 (definitely my favourite) A nice detail I noticed on this rewatch was that Clara wears clothes accurate to her time period, 1885, for the whole movie but when they come back on the time train at the end her outfit is eccentric and not really what would […]

Seeing as I got paid I thought I might give myself a payday treat of a Uxbridge House Mug! £15 is expensive but it's a premium mug for a podcast I love. The delivery cost though! Too sweet for my blood.

Monday was the last day in Paris. It was mostly spent spotting street art, eating french food and sending fake engagement photos to my work colleagues who were trying to convince me to propose.

You know, I make a seven figure salary if you count the two figures after the decimal

Sunday was a trip to the Louvre. It was a rainy day and the Eiffel tower was hidden in the mist but I had a great time looking at old artifacts and renaissance art. I also got an excellent croissant from a bakery called the french basterds. I thoroughly approve of the name

Although the flight over was a complete WAR CRIME! Once I was checked into the hotel however, I could relax and enjoy the city. The side streets with the little bookshops and art studios have been my favourite so far but there is something special about the big attractions like Notre dame.

Air France left us sitting on the runway for an hour and served me a "tea" best described as only brown. This is a war crime!

In the airport on the way to Paris. Having a Yorkshire tea before I go just in case I can't get a decent tea in France. Although I'm sure I will, if I don't it would be a WAR CRIME!

It is surprisingly easy to say a sentence that has never been said before like, "this antiseptic is cupping my balls" or "I love windows 11". The real question is how often do people say entirely new sentences

In this article they say Janeway's greatest line is "I'm your captain, that means I can't always be your friend". But that is bullshit. Her greatest line is "there's coffee in that there nebula" Captain Janeway's Single Greatest Star Trek Line Hits Harder Than Any Sci-Fi Quote Since […]

Oh no! I'm going to Paris this weekend and I just realised that I'm going to have to resist doing Vichy French Guy all weekend!

Reed stock is at an all time high. Those that invested early are reaping the rewards

Was just watching back to the future part 2. Aside from the biff 1985 being a little too close to today something struck me. The world of 1885 is so different from the world of 1955 it's basically unrecognisable. Like if you dropped Billy the kid in hill dale in 1955 he would struggle to even […]

Here's something to brighten up everyone's timeline. Yesterday she who is my girlfriend and I went to the pen museum in Birmingham. Fun fact: back in the day 75% of all pen nibs were made in this city ✒️ It was a fun experience where you got to make […] [Original post on friendsofdesoto.social]

Stuck in a meeting with one of my multiple bosses talking about how great Elon Musk is. FML right now

If anyone finds the state of the world overwhelming, and you find yourself in the company of some sort of home assistant, then here is a tip to instantly cheer yourself up. Ask the device what "[name] carrots one hundred is in Welsh" For example: "Alexa, what is Donald Trump carrots one […]

Woke up at 4 to go the bathroom. It's now 5:48 and I'm wide awake. Looks like I'm starting my day early with 4.5 hours of sleep

Billionaires today have no imagination. If I had that kind of money I wouldn't be buying mega yachts and private jets. I would be flying around in my person zeppelin

The pod has been a refuge for me this week and, whilst viewing, I started thinking about the often wished for Muppets: star trek. What about, all humans except Wesley "the boy" are Muppets and all aliens are played by Jeffrey Combs

Maybe it's because I don't use cash often. But found my first king Charles coin. You want one for your collection @NickGates

Happy new year everyone

Code 47 coming in on secure channels. Thanks @minnfinn

She who is my girlfriend has gone out to lunch with a friend. Quick, now is my chance to view pod free of eyeroll

Wtf, between 9am and lunchtime I am basically booked solid with meetings! Come on Mr Scrooge it's Christmas eve half the staff is already off. Can't I please do some work rather than sit bored out of my mind before saying, "nothing from me."

Well guys I booked a weekend in Paris

Code 47 coming in from @inarticulatequilter Thank you, it put a festive smile on my face this morning

If only there was a batman villain who specifically dealt in riddles

Million latinum idea! A Furby but rather than a horrific demon toy it's a tribble

Q: what is the fastest way to transport data A: the transporter pad

Ok guys, you may remember that some time ago I got obsessed with the question of how many items of clothing I would need to not repeat an outfit for a year. Mat parker of star up maths did the calculation but didn't account for changing season or a difference in work wear and home wear ect […]

At work I was asked what I knew about data protection. I said "considering the strength difference he can probably look after himself."

Fist code 47 has arrived! Thanks @howiecohen my work station is looking great now

Let's all hear it for Jane Austen who is 250 years young today! Hurrah huzzah!

Hey everyone, I am still alive

How busy have I been? Well, I only just realised that I didn't view pod on Monday

Is it there or their?

Christmas tree is up, house is decorated, cards are sent, girlfriend and parents finally met. This has been a busy day

Finally got around to writing all the food holiday cards to post out tomorrow (I've left it late I know) . Writing all the festive wishes has finally got me feeling those good seasonal feels.

Three months in the making and the first batch of mince pies are done

Did you know that your boss can send you meeting invites for first thing on Wednesday morning after you finish work on Tuesday?

In this weeks installment of at my parents house. Having to try and convince them that, no, in fact it's you are allowed to say ginger. No one is trying to police your language like that

What kind of nerd am I? Well, I watched Matt Parker's latest video on the minimum number of clothes you need to wear a different outfit everyday for a year. It was a good video but I am disappointed that it didn't take into account seasonal changes. So I started calculating myself Anyway, at […]
