  1. "You are being left behind!"

    Does being left behind also include being left alone to just do the stuff I like, without having to worry about unnecessary noise and endless productivity pressure? Because that sounds excellent, we have a deal, please proceed with leaving me behind.

  3. @chozari I would hope so but I think it's just ordinary hardwoods, gum tree wood etc. I didn't used to have this sensitivity. It's all new in the last year. #sigh

  5. I woke up this morning convinced it was Thursday and was bitterly disappointed to discover it was, in fact, only Wednesday. #SlowWeek #sigh

  7. @malanalysis The sad thing is that they’re •not• getting rid of daylight saving time, just the switch. This idea of year-round DST is foolish for two reasons: 1. It was already done back in 1974 (in the US anyway) and was such a disaster it was repealed within a year. 2. DST only exists when there’s a switch. If you make it year-round, you’re just switching to the next time zone over. EDT becomes AST, PDT becomes MST, &c. This creates some confusion (I’m looking at you British Columbia) when they’ve made PDT permanent and are actually on MST but still insisting on calling it Pacific Time. (Yes, this is already happening.) #Sigh. #Rant over for the moment.

  9. Some wisdom from one who has learned the hard way...

    Turn all of the water shutoff valves off then on again once a month and don't forget the whole house shutoff, washing machine, fridge, etc.

    Shutoff valves should be either all the way off or all the way on, never halfway.

    As you have work done, have your shutoff valves replaced with quarter turn valves.

  13. #sigh #meningsbyggnad #expressen Först, var hotellfrukosten gratis eller åt han den utan att betala?
    Sen, 'Åt frukost på ett hotell utan att betala i Örebro', what?
    Jag börjar allvarligt tappa förtroendet för den svenska skolan.
    Sen en fråga till rättsväsendet, jag undrar hur stöld är bedrägeri? Beteendet kan ha varit bedrägligt men c'mon. Kanske fattas det information i den korta notisen?

    Nu är jag #nöjd :) Fått #svära av mig det värsta

  15. Rules,what rules? #sigh. But then, they gave him the FIFA Peace Prize,, not a prize for integrity or respect for the game, or anything else.

  17. Protip: When handing your laptop back to IT for replacement etc, it's good practice to remove the masking tape with your password written on it before doing so.

  19. @[email protected] You're still a genocidal troll. #sigh

    Many good reasons why Brits focus on crimes of Israel, e.g.:
    1/ Britain started it, with 1917 #BalfourDeclaration
    2/ Britain complicit in #Israel's crimes: arms, intelligence, tech, diplomacy
    3/ UK close ties to israel, so Brit media keeps ppl well-informed
    4/ Israeli crimes have continued for decades.

    The jew-haters are the scum like you who think genocide is OK when committed by #Jews.

    I thought I'd blocked you. #Bye!

  21. Thanks to the toxic fires around, it will not be a good day to break out the grill and be outside. We are devasted that we have to sit inside with the internet and watch tv. 🙃

  22. Musical Interlude: I spent most of the day hanging at my house, waiting for a plumber to come...only to call them and find out that they have me scheduled for TOMORROW. Sigh. I could only laugh; it's not worth getting upset over.

    But while I kept going to the window every time I heard a car stopping, I remembered a sketch from the Tracy Ullman show where she's waiting for a repairman to show up, and singing this song....

    "It Must Be Him," performed by Vikki Carr.

  24. RE: sfba.social/@MLNow/11673702495

    Once more, I see the penny wise, pound foolish action of the Mayor's budget decisions - in this case returning stressors that impact both physical and mental health to a low income community. #sigh

  26. Trying to change the broken glass on my #Wahoo Roam V2 seems to be impossible. The glass is glued to the screen. Case is glued together.

    The usual "I did it" videos exist though ... #sigh

  28. All I wanted is a quick note when a new book from one of the authors or book series I like is published. And the same for new works from movie directors or TV series I enjoy.

    An email newsletter or an RSS feed could easily handle that with no or little overhead.

    But those often did not exist or were way too noisy because somebody wanted to sell something else.

    And that's why soon everybody will use AI agents with all their overhead for that. #sigh
