@sldrant @nivrig what’s wrong with being in management? 🙂

@nivrig @sldrant my plan is to pay off the mortgage, get a nest egg for putting the kids through uni, and then quit this game. I don’t want to stop working, but I think I want something that gets me outdoors a bit more. Ideal is postie!

@sldrant @nivrig been in this career for 22 years and still feel those things 🙂

@nivrig sometimes when you’ve been in the same place for a long time, the next one can just be a quick stop

@nivrig I always found the first week to be incredibly tough. Usually involving crying in the bathroom stall.

Imagine wanting appear so “tough on immigration” you call a national press conference and flood social media to boast “we’re 100% supportive of organised crime involved in human trafficking and slavery (for immigrants only obvs jk)”

How broken do you have to be?

My cat shows me that she loves me by letting me look deep into her heart. She achieves this by sticking her arsehole right up to my eyes so that all I can see are her internal organs.

@ianRobinson it looks great. A bit Snowpiercer but underground, but I love post-apocalyptic stuff.

@alex @amyworrall @pmdj the latest Technology Connections Video on YouTube addresses the “turning it all on” issue. Spoiler: there are products to smartly disable breakers so that you can avoid everything being on at once.

@joshua that Eurorack for you. Convention is a ribbon cable with a red stripe on that side. But it’s -12V, and I instinctively put the red wire on +12V instead.

Fixed up the Chikipower (and somehow caused an LED to stop working), but now have power attached to the breadboard with the AY-3-8910 on it. Will have to start experimenting with the AY and Arduino, as well as plan what I/O the module will have.

@nivrig @iain I’m on Adelaide Street for the next 6 weeks or so. Gimme a shout if fancy a coffee some week.

@nivrig did you ever say who the company was?

@platkus @schwa @uliwitness it’s easy for anyone who can afford 100 dollars now to say it’s a non issue. In isolation it seems trivial. When you combine it with other life expenses it can all add up to life costing more for the people with the least. It happens everywhere, all the time.

I’ll not get into a tirade on banks 🙂

@keven @spins it’s such an evocative title! It makes me think of Marge Simpson with bullet holes in her hair 🙂

The whole album is wonderful. Feels like two incredibly close people just enjoying themselves. Only Talking Sense is hauntingly beautiful.

Listening to a Burial release on vinyl is frustrating cause you’re constantly thinking you didn’t clean the record very well.
