@siege I only vaguely remember that night but I do remember getting home at 6am wearing lipstick

@siege on Dalston Lane near the bridge over the railway?

@siege now I'm wondering if I may have visited this secret bar!

I still find it slightly astonishing that we sell £150k worth of tickets in 40 seconds using some software we wrote in our spare time.

World electricity networks mapped on @openstreetmap: here's my approximately-yearly update of this visualisation.

@manawyrm @ryanc MK/Honeywell are considered the gold standard brand for electrical hardware in the UK and they do make some which look to be decent (now even with PD). Haven't seen inside one though.

@manawyrm @ryanc the other problem with these USB charging sockets is that they are encouraging more people to change their sockets who don't really have the expertise to do it safely...

@Tupp_ed I think it's especially damning because the UK still (currently) has exactly the same privacy laws as the EU...

@goatsarah @bebatjof says 2020 here:

I remember reading a paper about it but I can't find it now...

@bebatjof @goatsarah one of the theories is that they were primarily annoyed at the fishing boats but they found sailboats more enjoyable to attack, and it became more of a play/bonding thing.

Interestingly this behaviour started in mid-2020, after boat volumes reduced due to covid lockdowns. I wonder if they thought they could make the boats go away again.

I was going to upload some of the X-rays of my leg to Wikimedia Commons, as they're a lot better than the existing images on Wikipedia, but I just realised I don't own the copyright to them.

It's kind of weird that someone else owns the copyright to an image of my own bones.
