@anon_opin Or just buy one colour

We should completely normalize wearing odd socks. It would avoid the mountain building up in your draw of effing odd ones that don't seem to have a match in the known universe.

Jack Ryan: Ghost War Another London based car-chase where they magically teleport halfway across the city by turning a corner.

@anon_opin They are different, equally valid, expressions, with different meanings

The expression is "Spill the beans." If you've ever said "Spill the tea" just know that I hate you.

@benjaminhopton @LeaderofKCC When was the last time you went shopping? 1998?

@LeaderofKCC 100%, don’t have kids if you can’t afford to feed them. A bag of oats is 95p and an egg is about 9p It’s not the job of the government to raise people children. "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome"

Sorry, call me old fashioned but I believe it’s the parents’ job to give their child the best possible start to the school day.

@SandDancer9 @LeaderofKCC Breakfast club isn't about feeding them. It's about supporting working parents who can't make the usual drop-off time because they need be at work. You know, so they can "afford to give their kids breakfast"...

@LeaderofKCC Don't apologise, you are 100% correct. If people can't afford to give their kids breakfast, they shouldn't;t be having them. Of course we all know which part of society breakfast clubs are aimed at.

@LeaderofKCC I've much more pertinent things to call you rather than "old fashioned"

@craftartwarrior @garychalkpics I seem to remeber the old psychostyrene dwarfs were particularly susceptible to falling in

@thirdmanuk @garychalkpics Peak 80s Warhammer! 🏴‍☠️ Nothing says grimdark naval warfare like elite knights marching up a gangplank, only to yeet themselves into the sea because of heavy plate armor. Absolute golden era of White Dwarf scratch-builds. Did any regiments actually survive the crossing? 😂

2016 Groje dropping full custom naval rules + these insane hand-sculpted ships is the kind of content that keeps me in the hobby Orc junk, Chaos ram ships, gothic terror vessels… this is what Age of Sigmar was meant to be. Still legendary.

I feel a cold fury whenever I open a pdf of some paper to read and Adobe is like "Hm, this looks long. Would you like me to just summarize it for you?" No, fuck you, Adobe. The paper is long because it contains a lot of details that matter. Why wouldn't I want to read them?

@garychalkpics @craftartwarrior We played a WFB2nd game using this article and ships a mate & his dad had built. Lots of armour-related drowning

@craftartwarrior I thought you might like see these. I wrote some add on rules for ships in Warhammer about 40 years ago. They appeared in White Dwarf and are all scratchbuilt. Enjoy!

@thinkdefence They lost me at "provides a solid base" "solid" is not how I'd describe a vehicle held together with duct tape and bailing wire...

As showcased in this short video clip, the British Army is thinking beyond the current Ajax variants. In time, it will, alongside Boxer, form the backbone of the vehicle fleet

@dieworkwear Just a cute little guy? I'll take that

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

Just throwing it out there that the lane is wiiiiiiiiide open for a tech company to get insanely rich by just replicating the 2010 version of big websites like Google while explicitly stating that they hate AI.

@GoogleWorkspace @gmail @googledocs How do we turn all this bloat off?

Let your voice do the work 🗣️ New conversational features are coming to @gmail, @googledocs, and Keep so you can brainstorm, organize, and take action as fast as you can talk.

Today at #GoogleIO, we announced new ways that AI can help you get things done. ICYMI, here's everything we talked about 🧵👇

@brexit999a @GoodwinMJ Nigel's got a spare £5m he could donate

@GoodwinMJ If Andy Burnham gets elected MP and then triggers a Manchester mayor election - then Labour have cost the tax payer £5 millions for 2 reelections Labour should not be allowed to stand unless by death or illness. Spaffing our £5 million for internal labour ambitions

Andy Burnham is using Makerfield to advance his own career. Only Reform will put the people of Makerfield first.

@reformparty_uk How many different places did Nige try?

Anywhere will do for Andy. This expensive by-election is all about his own personal ambition.

@Gnerphk Imagine if he was into crypto...

A vegan, a crossfitter, a Linux user, and a Raspberry Pi owner walked into a bar. It's the same guy. Only one guy walked into a bar. Dear Lord, will he ever shut up?

@agameganon I just saw someone mark up a translation as wrong but their issues were based on their understanding of English not Greek. For example, they objected to Odysseus being "lost" as that suggested fault. But "lost" in English can mean denote either active or passive behaviour.

it’s strange how one component of reactionary backlash against Wilson’s translation is that they view her language choices (‘complicated’, ‘lying Odysseus’) as serious denigration of his character because if they knew how the Classical tragedians portrayed him they would implode

@BradCLemley Back in the day, I'd have just bought the Haynes manual

Here is a huge positive to modern life that gets no press. I have an old 2009 Toyota, and the AUX port crapped out about a year ago. Went to YouTube. Young, enthusiastic guy explains how to fix it. It is not obvious - involves taking the dashboard apart in a counter-intuitive way, but once you see it, it's a 15 minute fix. There are actually dozens of videos showing how to do this, and they collectively have well over 200k views. Had this happened in 1995, I would have just lived with it. But the combo of the replacement AUX jack available from Amazon and the video of the simple (but not obvious) fix, I fixed it. I HAVE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES. Replaced the control panel of my dishwasher. Replaced the ice maker in the fridge. Fixed a wonky sanding head on my drill press. Mastered a bandsaw technique that I use for my sculpture. On and on and on... I think it is likely no exaggeration to say billions of fixes and skill upgrades have been performed worldwide that would not have been performed if it were not for the instruction freely given peer-to-peer on YouTube. Take a moment to be happy about this. The busted item keeps performing, rather than going to the landfill. The person learning and doing the fix gains a sense of mastery and saves money. It's an unmixed blessing. Stop doomscrolling. Think of what is busted in your house, find the YouTube video on how to fix it, and fix it.

@cbarchak @RMTunion So you put money over passenger safety?

@RMTunion Thanks for informing me. I didn't realise how successful you've been in wasting taxpayer money for the benefit of your members.

It's time to make the tube fully autonomous, like the DLR
