@nivrig I’ve only played one game (Fallout 4) but I love the whole world and premise. I wa sin the doldrums this afternoon when I finished the last episode, as I had no more to watch. I found it really compelling watching. The idea of waiting for more is like being tortured by a Mr Handy.

@nivrig first few episodes were a bit flabby, but they tightened them up after that. Runtime was too long for the first few.

@BenRiceM I was watching today and thought “wow, they made FalloutWorld and it is amazing”

@simon we do live in the first world though 🙂

Sometimes it’s a frustration, and sometimes it’s extremely difficult to accommodate the changes. When you arrange your schedule to receive a delivery, then have to rearrange due to changing circumstances, it can be more than just an irritant.

And it’s usually down to penny-pinching and attempts to cram too much into a driver’s schedule that is too fragile to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances.

@simon there are so many frustrations in logistics these days.

Last week I was expecting a delivery, and was told it would arrive on Monday of this week. That was cool. On Friday, I got an email to say that the delivery would be on Saturday. Yay! Saturday came and went, with no delivery. Arrived on Monday as originally expected.

It’s not terrible (and I feel for your components shivering and alone tonight!) but it’s the unnecessary frustrations that these things inject into our lives.

@GrantMeStrength I immediately thought of Sultan’s Maze on the CPC.

I have a lot more to say, but I'll hold it for now and simply wonder aloud...

Which BigTech clouds are the "Lavender" & "Where's Daddy?" AI systems running on? What APIs are they using? Which libraries are they calling?

What work did my former colleagues, did I, did *you* contribute to that may now be enabling this automated slaughter?

(Also, content warning. This is some of the sickest shit I've ever read.)

@Moltz @dmoren @lunarobverse @lexfri this should be your next pair of t-shirts. Each one has half-a-Moltz and together you complete them.

@stuart last year it was the other way round, but there was a grand slam as well.

@schwa in optimal conditions they’d have raised the sails, for sure.

@stuart and I just sold a bunch of stock today…

@twostraws @GaryAsh my local pharmacy (Boots, UK) won’t sell a pack of ibuprofen and a pack of paracetamol together!

@ianRobinson I do love High N Dry. I tend to think of early Def Leppard and post-H’N’D Def Leppard to be different bands.

@TSindelar I tried this. I already live in Ireland so it didn’t work. I give this technique ★☆☆☆☆

@amyworrall my wife recently encountered people having trouble getting into a neighbours house that is run as an AirBnB-style property. The visitors couldn’t find a key, so my wife contacted the owners, and their response was “we have a management company for that. If the guests can’t get in then we don’t care, we’ll just take the hit of a bad review.”

To owners, it’s a bad review. To guests it’s a potentially ruined vacation. Terrible imbalance!

@ianRobinson nah. I spend so much time in computers these days that I’ve started to reject plugins and DAWs. 🙂
