Ughhhh if you find a solution let me know. We've got one clanky pipe, but OBVIOUSLY it's right next to my head as I sleep 🙃

Any tips for researching this?
Our house is on a street whose name seemed to change in late 19th C between the two earliest OS maps I've found, and the newer name seems to match the house name engraved on our gatepost - so I'm very curious of the context, but no idea where to start looking!

I remember to ask the question then entirely forget the answer. Especially their names.

The name Dan in this comic is just adding a level of nominative determination to my existing worry 🫣

I couldn't get past the fact he's not, in fact, Jason from the Good Place

She apparently has a dressing room somewhere in the castle where she obsessively watches the live camera feeds 🙊

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Mexican Train Game!! 🚂

your poor joints 😖 (or is that just me??)

Much too dangerous in this house

(high risk of projectiles thrown by (no-longer-)sleeping partner)

You make a strong argument both "for" and "against" getting a sofa bed for my office here

I'm thinking my usual work from home days (so that I get out of the house instead of staring at the screens all day 😬)

But it's (psychologicallly) a whole cycle away - though I just checked maps and it's only 7 minutes 😅

I'm debating changing my working pattern to have specific "gym slots" to try to achieve literally any exercise 💀

Also lol: I'd never noticed the risk of our username patterns colliding before 😐

Oh interesting - I used to be on O2/Giffgaff but switched to Vodafone then Lebara... maybe it's time to go back.

I'm Pudsey direction, but work in the centre

To what provider?? I realised recently that I'd forgotten 5G exists, it's been so long since I've had coverage 💀

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

YES I got this one today and what do you mean??
I can do some kind of fake imitation cleaning on my phone to make an owl happy, but my house won't actually get any cleaner?

They may fix it, or they may make it the least of your worries 🤡

ugh balance between convenience vs privacy vs yet another app tho

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

Thank you! (and thank you for the precautions 😅)

Not the one sadly, I probably read the book I'm remembering about ten years before that came out 😔 but I'll stick it on my to-read list anyway if you recommend!

Not quite the point, but which book?
I read a library book with a similar theme as a teen and have been trying to remember its name for about a decade - probably not the same one but you'd solve my mystery if it is..!

giving myself a gold star for this

I saw this yesterday and instantly related 🫩

A very simple diagram showing radar, a chaff cloud, a confused missile and an airplane. The confused missile is aiking for the chaff cloud and not the airplane.

THE CHAFF PROJECT

Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!

How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.

Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

Oh nice, a bit of buzz is good! The place here found people waiting outside when they arrived to set up at 4am 😳

A record store in a suburb here was opening for queueing from 5am 💀 did you have to queue in the end?

you'll get there!

well

you'll get somewhere! then you'll find more things to do! but you'll be somewhere!!

Oooh, what record player/speakers did you go for, and would you recommend? I've been overwhelmed by choice for years at this point 🥲
