Piranha Plants in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are the sleepiest creatures in the game, with some of their subtypes being up to 110% sleepy. This may be a reference to the famously sleepy Piranha Plants from Super Mario 64.

London Overground under the underground

London Overground under the underground

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

In the same way the Chrome folks were totally within their rights to say "err, maybe don't depend on this endpoint directly from your libraries/apps" - don't blame them because they announced a change to that endpoint coming up several months ago and you failed to respond at all.

Honestly pretty shocked at the apps that decided that using this single-maintainer open source NO WARRANTY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED project to mediate connections _to their own API backend_ was a good idea.

Sign In | Sentry

I've had the "auth" org on the Sentry hosted SaaS product for ages (judging by my email, 2019). This leads to the hilarious consequence that sentry.io/auth/ leads to a signin page that sends me an email saying you requested access, but the actual login page for Sentry is at sentry.io/auth/login/

Is it just me that's like "hmm, this supposed 'new UK-EU deal' to allow UK citizens to use EU e-gates comes very suspiciously close to when EES is supposed to come into effect"?

I mean, I'm sure the details of said deal will take until, say, October to hammer out...
