"how did I put on so much weight when we had kids" I wonder aloud as I shovel another handful of leftover beige food cut into finger sized pieces into my mouth

I wonder if a spam update has ever affected spam.com

Well it's taken literal years but i finally have an ADHD diagnosis Dunno how to feel, it's sort of a weird anticlimax

Hello I am a vocal coach on YouTube. I'm going to pretend I've never heard Abba before in the name of recording a reaction video, and if that goes well I will go on to pretend to have apparently never heard of a single piece of music.

This is even funnier now than it was then

Everyone I know who has tried standup has driven three hours to perform in this room

I appreciate money can be tricky but: send that person who makes that thing you like a message to tell them. I guarantee that so long as you're not really weird about it they will really appreciate it

Emailing yourself code is nature's github

I keep a windows PC around because I can't be bothered learning a new DAW and FL studio crashes enough as it is, but it's the only thing I have (gaming pc included) that runs windows now, and I've never been happier

My wife and I watch a lot of the TV show 911, which is ostensibly about a fire department but anytime any of the characters are in personal danger outside of work the problem is always solved by the one cop character and her gun

Me when my wife asks if I want anything from Sainsbury's

There's plenty of technology "the left" is excited about, we're just not "how can I absolutely fuck up the world's economy with this while making a billion dollars" excited about anything. Hell I'd just like netbooks to make a comeback

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

The really great thing about having a child sent home ill from nursery is how efficiently and quickly you end up feeling like you're letting them, the rest of your family and the people you work with down

Just had an email from Google telling me that they've given me all the benefits of the AI Plus tier of their service for free, which definitely helps balance the books against the eleventh billion quid they've spent on RAM to power it

One of things I have noticed in the last 6 months or so of using Linux is that it's recaptured some of that joy of learning and experimenting with computers that I've not felt since the late 90s / early 2000s.

Spent five years as a parent wishing my kids would sleep past six thirty, this morning the monkeys paw curled shut, the kids slept til 7:30 and now everything is chaos and we have no time to do anything before school
