Loved @coalsupper 's Thank Goodness You're Here. What a strange little game! Also liked the hidden digs at Thatcher though I'm sure I missed some.

@rdzien Is still 2 stops away, 5 hours later. At least I know where the driver lives now though.

@ipb Can't be that far away then... Find the van and steal it... #NotActualAdvice #OrIsIt although I have had a one stop away message and the van was still in the Swindon depot.

My yodel driver hasn't moved for 3 hours but is still "2 stops away"

The Bible was AI-generated

A 🧵if I may There is a video going around of a man being arrested at an airport for “hurty words” by armed police I know nothing of the job so won’t comment on that but a couple of points from personal experience I had a delightful chap sending his ex horrible messages

one day this will be part of an elaborate exploit chain

@rdzien Let me know if you go, I'll come along if I'm around

@ipb Ooh thank you!! I missed the last one and I was very disappointed!

stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free:

"Can we get rid of this ayatollah T-shirt? Khomeini died years ago." "But, Marge, it works on any ayatollah-- Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi. As we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power." "I don't care who's consolidating their power."

@BlondiieMama Possibly a circular polariser? Normally screwed onto the front of a camera lens to remove reflections, you twist it until it's in the right orientation. Not sure how you'd attach it to a webcam though, web cam specific ones may exist

Teams meetings pros: can I/how do I get rid of the glare on the front of my glasses when I’m in a meeting? It makes no difference what I do with the lighting in the room. Any settings I can use on my computer/Teams? Thanks!

How couples met (1930-2024)

@rdzien I met a real one once, I thought most of them were just attention whores online, but this was irl and she was dumb as a fucking rock

@ipb They can suck it. I need new background panoramas for my desktop... Clearly this is an efficient way to get them.

Can't wait for a whole new generation of moon landing deniers!

@rdzien @UberEats I've reported every one of them for impersonation, this happened with booking . com last week too, about ten of them. Scum. But X aren't going to fix the issue

@ipb @UberEats The number of fake UE replies you have is very telling.

Another horrible experience with @UberEats . An hour for cold shit food. Not the restaurant's fault, not even driver's fault really, completely down to uber. Not worth complaining as they just don't care. Time to ditch the uber subscription and just not give them any more cash

@nicdoye If anything, it's even worse here now.

Logging back off after posting on my book thread.

@rdzien Reckon there's a fetish market for used steaks. This was a spanish cookbook, not even a very good one.

@ipb Well, if it's something like a used steak....

Seems reasonable.

@bookingcom Can you explain how, when a check in policy is unclear, i am supposed to just spend a thousand euros and "book anyway" to get support when that booking is non-refundable, to find out there's no late check in and my booking is wasted. You see that doesn't make sense?

Hello Iain, We appreciate your feedback regarding our service, and we are genuinely concerned to learn about your dissatisfaction. Our primary objective is to assist all our guests to the best of our abilities while strictly adhering to the policies of our properties. Please note that we can only provide assistance if a booking has been made, as we require the complete booking details to facilitate further support. Thank you for your understanding.

Unreal. Asked @bookingcom if a hotel can support a late checkin due tom flight times. Their reply? You have to book before we contact the hotel or book anyway but book for the day after you arrive. Where shall we sleep on the day we arrive? Street? Airport? Utterly useless.
