I sigh at computers, especially the ones in cars, for a living. Interested in audio, hi-fi, music, and curry.

The law of cats is genetic memory so kittens have an innate understanding.

There should be a spin-off media, maybe a cartoon, about what Jonesy the cat, the little shithead, got up to when he was left behind at Earth by Ripley.

Shitty plain text alternatives ("Your mail client doesn't support our mail", "click here to view our email in your browser", or worse, some unrelated template) should be illegal under accessibility and disability awareness laws.

The World Famous Embassy Club is going to be demolished and replaced with a health centre. One assumes it will be specialising in diabetes and heart disease.

I really hope work's appraisals process is updated to consider the quality and frequency of incoherent unhinged screaming, because I feel I've really upped my game in the past six months.

I wonder how Hell administers all those damned souls without computers, and what the cooling situation for Hell's data centre looks like.
There must be computers in Hell, right?

@nprofile…2hju They look really nice, but strike me as a dress sock designed to be used one from their appearance and your experience!

Does anyone have any recommendations for UK retailers of socks suitable for size 13s? The rest of you have dainty feet and I destroy socks designed for your typical quaint size 11 stumps after a few outings. I have a lovely pair that were a gift from @nprofile…2hju but having him smuggle them from Finland isn't sustainable.

Rust programming: Last night I implemented solving in my naive Boggle thing using depth-first queue-based route finding, trimming impossible paths using a trie for prefix analysis (easy) and a command line interface using Rust's Clap library that didn't triple the size of the binary (hard)

Still a way to go, then.

The problem with this tweet is that I can't decide what order they should be attached in a human centipede.

Apparently they're rereleasing The Matrix for its 25th anniversary. And what do I think of that? Fuck linear time, that's what I think.
