It is just not possible to take these people seriously. Take seriously the situation we find ourselves in with them in power. Treat it with caution. The government though? Too immature, too inane. https://twitter.com/GrogsGamut/status/1234766607102013440
Wires on headphones might be a pain in the arse, but at least you can’t brick the cable, like I appear to have done to the bluetooth in my Jabra headphones.
Oh you better believe the “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” section reaches out and grabbed me by the eyeballs.

Now at that intergnostic point where I recognise some bus drivers on my line, but not by name. Only by personalities I have assigned them. So, friendly Sikh man who waits when I am not quite at the stop, and lady who thinks she’s Fangio.
This is my cat, Draco.
This is also now a screenshot from my head canon music video for Redbone’s Come and Get Your Love.
V’landys is the kind of name you’d give the ruthless antagonist overlord in a certain kind of fantasy series.
It’s....cold
I've been cooking using an oven for the better part of thirty years now. Just once before I die I'd like to open the oven door and remember to not lean down into the cloud of steam.
My understanding is today one of Murdoch's professional clickbaiting shit stirrers said the quiet part loud and reavealed Whiteness is a political position. Although at this stage, they don't feel like they need to get the whistling very high-pitched any longer.
People I follow are in town for React Conf when to Frankies and appear to have enjoyed it and I can’t work out if this is a deeper level of irony than I can reach or if you just need to be an order of magnitude younger than I.
If they’re bad enough, there’s nothing stopping a sub-group breaking from the majority for a No Confidence motion. https://twitter.com/AntonyGreenElec/status/1233189982816178176
I suspect there has to be a mistake here because even with our usual low usage vs the Australian summer on our panels, that’s quite a gap between generation and usage
Another day of spraying spot fires with bursts of non-conducting fire retardant - like they use in a big data centre - leading up to Sydney Tech Leaders is done. We had someone from New Zealand! Our fame spreads. Like data. In a big data centre, one that I have been in.

On The Metal from @oxidecomputer has been awesome, but the biggest payoff has been learning Brian Kernighan published Unix: A History and A Memoir.
I wrote code for new employer to automate part of the new development environment setup, because documenting it was Too Many Words.
Now I realise the process for PRs is unknown to me. Starts http://CONTRIBUTING.md
All tech organisations should be required, by federal legislation if need be, to put a banner on the wall where new technical employees are definitely going to see it reading either "Gitflow yo!"or Gitflow? Fuck that shit!
I don’t know how anybody uses the Apple Magic Mouse. Just holding it and moving the pointer on the screen I also managed to scroll randomly.
Guess I’m just holding it wrong, eh?
In as much as I give even even a whiff of fucks for whoever wins the candidacy for leader of a failed state, I do find amusing the bros using Marxist theory to stan for a fairly vanilla set of social democrat policies.
