too late bucko I already put a SPI peripheral on Portland Avenue 0. Pay up.

@gsuberland if I "noticed" this in review I would not "notice" it.

AI has made this sort of scam go from "requires a few days effort to create & deploy" to "basically can be spun up in an hour".

apparently if you order one you just get one of those "yap yap yap yap yap FLIP yap yap yap yap yap yap FLIP" toys they sell in town centres for like £5.

why the fuck do you need an account to report illegal activity to Shopify?

I emailed support@shopify.com and got a response:

Thanks for contacting Shopify Support!

We are changing how we best support you. As part of these changes, support@shopify.com no longer accepts incoming messages, this includes when you reply to a support ticket after it has been closed.

Fuck you. Awful, awful experience.

Kilogram of sandwich please.

Leaving this in the guest bedroom bedside drawers like it’s a Gideons’ Bible.

@NanoRaptor how do people make these things? Are engraved/milled?

@deneb @lambda :blobfoxsad: begrudgingly opens yet another 1200-page ETSI Technical Report

a sign underneath the shelf that says "If you're struggling to afford stuff like food right now, please talk to us, we have contacts that can help you immediately" would go a LOT further than this bollocks.

end of the day, if you're stealing a £3 block of cheese you're at your absolute lowest. you aren't sticking it on facebook marketplace for profit. you aren't selling it in the dodgy pub around the corner. you're starving.

I'm kinda tempted to write to the Co-Op about this. Not sure what I could say really but... just getting somebody there to agree "yes, this is fucked, but here's our justification for it" would be interesting. The Co-Op is usually perceived as a "good" company so it's odd.

Cheese in security cases at the local shop.

Somebody has placed a rock with "JW.org" written on it next to my house :blobfoxscared:

Binge-watching motovlog compilation videos… three things stand out:

1. Most confrontations are about bikers filtering
2. Most accidents are people pulling out of side-roads on bikers, or bikers being hit from behind while waiting at lights.
3. Bikers and drivers need to chill. Being patient and courteous even in the face of abject stupidity from others would defuse and solve so many situations.

Oh hey a furry biker.
