Violets are glorious,

Don't try to surprise

Over the past while, our government has essentially turned our welfare system into a parody of the US's. This guy makes the most amazing Lego sculptures, and it's so fucking sad he's going through this.

Thanks very much, I can't believe I didn't think of this - I think I was just so frazzled by the alarms blaring my brain couldn't think properly. I'll be lifting up the floor for a look tomorrow!

Thanks very much, looks like tomorrow will herald my inauguration into carpet lifting!

 

Honestly I am so bloody baffled by this.

I removed the smoke alarm that would be affected by vibration from the loft floor (which was in the room directly underneath), but the other alarms still go off when someone walks up there (they're all wired together, so when one goes off they all go off). I removed the one that's in the loft too, but it still happens.

I have no fecking idea what else to do 😅 should we go in under the loft floor to have a look, or into the ceiling underneath the loft floor? Any suggestions for what to look for? Should I be concerned that vibration is affecting wiring? Is it spooky ghosts?

And when you consider that approx 47% of the population is (was) under 18, they really showed those ~5k kids!!

So Linux has been dominating the server space since before it existed? Cool!

There is a wrong way to be right about something, and this comment is a great example of that.

Um, no you don't. I mean you can do it that way if you want I suppose, but you can just use the good ol' decline button too (repeatedly, on various screens, with your network cable unplugged. Fuck Windows)

it won’t install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account

I'm not pro-Windows by any means, but this simply isn't true.

TL;DR wooooooosh

 

I love asking UK, especially English, people this question; the answers vary wildly. Once had a Londoner describe the north as "anywhere north of the M25".

So, lemmings, where is 'the north' to you?

 

I reckon it’s Anne Robinson. Fight me.

We carry our harpoons

For there ain't no whales

So we tell tall tales

And sing our whaling tuuuuune

This has been stuck in my head since I woke up, and now it's stuck in yours. You're welcome.
