Are we sure these hot days aren't a plot by Big RTO to convince me that working from home isn't all it cracked up to be?
Ok, I am going to speak slowly and quietly. I need you to put the rare Roman curse tablet back where you found it.
Scrolling through Bluesky and seeing The Irish Times posting an "AI is great" article just after the "What to do now you're redundant" article would be rightly criticised as lazy and unsubtle if it was used as world building in a movie scene.
Determined not to pay for Boojum, we made it ourselves. Delicious, but it took about 2 hours to do everything, 3 pots and a pan for the hot foods. Pico de Gallo and Pickled Red Onions homemade. So much chopping and washing up. I dunno if it worked out cheaper but we were chuffed with the results.
Can I interest you in a nice "bitcoin is shitting its pants" in these trying times?
Listening to the new Boards of Canada as God intended: half asleep in a B&B room, at far too low a volume, on two Bluetooth speakers that are hanging off random features of the room.
I've a temperature sensor that sits in a spot that gets direct sun. Around lunch time the sun goes behind a tree for a couple of hours before it pops out again. You can clearly see this in the sensor data this week. The difference was almost 15c yesterday! We need more trees!
"We" did nothing. You are an app. Stop talking to me like an annoying stranger at a bar.
At The Prodigy in 3Arena, a woman holds up her phone to me and it says, "I'm a marine biologist and I love sharks. Where did you get your shirt?" This is what I was wearing.
I keep reporting these shitty "government investment scheme" ads to Google. They're AI generated scams, but this one with animated Sinn Féin logo is another level. I refuse to click through to see more, but just this much has to be breaking so many laws.
When you leave a house party to get more beers and come back to find the hosts' parents came home early and everyone scarpered.
Watching the Nirvana Live at the Paramount video and it's amazing. I didn't realise what a giant Krist Novoselic was.
Dude can't help his name or how he looks of course, hope he's a decent ... oh en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_...
Hold up, the president of FIFA's name is Gianna Infantino? OK, that initially looks like it might mean Giant Baby... but it is probably closer to Young Baby. Good thing for him he doesn't look like a ... oh
There's FOUR seats booked for 8pm Project Hail Mary in Stillorgan. Look at those jammy bastards... entire cinema to themselves.
I've so many photos which amount to "using phone as a mirror to see where the port is on a device".
