I don’t think I’ll be getting this app…

The “Can’t you just…” mantra is NOT limited to SWE; it applies to all technical jobs. 👀

I’m a go-with-the-flow type of person just as long as ‘the flow’ has been planned at least three days in advance.

One day each of us burned a CD for the last time only we didn’t know it was the last time. 👀

You think you can hurt my feelings?

I’m an over-thinker. I hurt my own feelings.

At one of our favourite restaurants on the Algarve in Quarteira: Rosa Branca.

I know all that but, as a disinterested Brit, can you tell me what any of the policies of either candidate are?

All I got from the head-to-head was a slanging match with neither of them saying what ‘they’ would do. I may have missed those bits but it seems to be a trend in politics these days where the opposing parties just have a go at each other without telling us what ‘they’ would do.

@Lana

Because nobody has actually said what ‘their’ policies are or what ‘they’ would do.

It’s not enough to know that Harris isn’t a criminal and Trump is.

Not being a criminal doesn’t fix anything.

“Fine words butter no parsnips” as my old gran (RIP) used to say (amongst other things).

The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct. The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice.
The satellites still left, their orbits decaying, dutifully relay the message.
The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that it's owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days.
A pack of roombas, the local wind turbines giving out, search for the next functional docking station.
A washing machine tweets: "anyone need to do a load” every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time.
The replies are filled with Al thirstposters and their hypebots.
In North America, raccoons have entered the bronze age, while babboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia.
Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion.

The buildings are still there but their use has changed many times over the years, mainly because a new set of shops were built to the left of the picture.

It has changed so much in the 50+ years since I left. It was a proper village when I first lived there in the early ‘60s but changed so much even whilst I grew up there.

The first picture shows the original pub and the second one shows the rebuilt pub.

@BeAware

Circa 1972 😎

The white building on the right was the fish & chip shop (recently opened after being the newsagent’s). To the left of that is the Post Office and then the pharmacy with the off-license next to that. Then there is the recently opened Co-op which moved from about half a mile away.

@BeAware

That’s the war memorial we’d sit and chat for hours. The Chinese takeaway was just off to the right. 😎

@BeAware

If I tell you I was a teen in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s you might get some sense of how old I am, that and dipping into my gran’s tin of Cadbury’s Lucky Numbers 👀😎😂

@BeAware

In my teens and twenties my friend and I would come out the local pub, pick up a Chinese takeaway from the local Chinese takeaway (always chicken curry and rice) and sit in the local war memorial and just talk for hours about stuff and nonsense and not remember any of it the following morning. Needless to say we had the same conversations over and over. 👀😎

@BeAware

I had quite a lot of discourse in my teens and twenties, mostly incomprehensible bollocks. 👀

There’s a rumour that Brit Pop band are getting back together to perform some stadium dates.

I’ve not seen or heard anything about it on the news media. 👀

@BeAware @dabertime

My lawyers are on it 👀😎🤷♂️

@AlgoCompSynth

Surprisingly (or not) they are very good swimmers. One of the dressage routines at the Olympics consisted of the horses showing off their backstroke prowess. Unfortunately they stopped it after the drowning of 6 riders in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris (Gay Paree as it was known back then). The 6 riders were disqualified after failing to don the regulation sub aqua equipment (an 8ft length of rubber hose).
