I was just about to suggest GrayJay but then I remembered it’s an Android app.

I was so convinced Stardew Valley had ads and micro transactions I had to look it up, but no ads no MT.

Everything I found was positive, it may be the last bastion of cute and positive gaming.

This guy I swear is looking at my internet search history… The closers most popular around here are the sprung chains in a cylinder hidden in the hinge style. Not sure they have close/latch speed options though. I need to sort out my garage and stairs fire doors, as they are currently always held open by a fire extinguisher (for irony) and a stuffed dog respectively.

Maybe, but if you are a disgusting human being anyway you may as well do everything they want and they might give you another 10k next year.

In my former career I had to select a Knowledge Base product for a large company, one of the options were Oracle, they were the most expensive per year by several million, their next competitor was half the price.

Yeah - I’m going to get around to it one of these days… it’s only £100, so as long as I get it back before Tesla goes bankrupt I think I’m good.

I still have a deposit on this thing, but as I’m in a RHD country with European safety standards I don’t think it will ever be produced.

I’m not considering any Tesla for my next car and I was a huge fanboy up until about 2020, but musk has made it clear he doesn’t want my business, so I’ll leave him to his new MAGA customers.

I’m also waiting to see how he’s going to get out of all those free Roadsters he promised to all the referral collectors.

I’m all for supporting the underdog who probably doesn’t have a chance… so I’m considering going back to Twitter.

Article says 23,000 people are on a wait list for social housing in Birmingham, but the council is bankrupt because of the equal pay claim they had to settle so even when a solution like this falls in their lap, they can’t afford to take it.

Looks like someone with lots of money is going to get a lot of housing for less than £200k per apartment (around a 30% discount). Usually you have to be a bank during a recession for a bargain like that!

I’m really enjoying late stage capitalism, it’s like playing a post-apocalyptic video game, without the nuisance of having to learn the controls.

I had an instinct it would be there

Holding on to my X, hoping the app support for iOS 16 continues.

This is true, I remember one colleague who loved his car more than anything, had it as his desktop background, and went to car shows at weekends.

On his birthday during lunch we filled it with happy birthday balloons, floor to ceiling and watched out the window as he tried to work out what to do with them, how to get in and get home. I think that was the last time I truly laughed at work.

He came in to get some scissors to burst the balloons and called us bastards, but he was laughing just as much as we were.

It’s demeaning and ruining her greatest achievement in life by being shit colleauges. It immediately sets the relation between her and other astronauts and basically tells her that her only worth is cooking.

I’m assuming they had all worked together for some years previously, did it really ruin this achievement? Did it ruin their working relationship? Or are you projecting how you would feel, or how you think she should feel?

She was the first person to weld in space, I think as far as breaking stereotypes go, you can’t really top that.

I suppose I see this as a joke about stereotypes to the one person in the world (or off the world) that it applies to least, rather than sexism.

I read that she replied “I assumed you would be doing the cooking”, and they joked back “don’t worry, we’ll make you something”, to me it just seems like colleagues joking around that we are all reading too much into 40 years later.

JD securing himself another ‘+1 child’ vote for the election.

Could you let me know what the problem is with my take?

Not trying to troll, the downvotes for my post and upvotes for yours tell me I’ve got the bad take here, just genuinely trying to see how specifically I’ve got it wrong.

With a modern mindset of expectations in the workplace and the level of work and talent required for anyone to become a cosmonaut then this would be an instant dismissal for those involved, it simply would not happen today as expectations of professionalism are made crystal clear.

Outside of simple wordplay (dad jokes) humour and inside jokes in the workplace are now almost completely inappropriate.

If I had gone to a space station with an all female crew and they handed me a full trash bag, and a toolbox and told me to get to work I’d find it hilarious. I guess you have to know your audience when it comes to jokes, and the threat of it becoming an ‘HR issue’ means workplaces have less fun and laughter than they used to.

Maybe I’m just an out of touch millennial.

Someone keeps downvoting every factual post I make about Hydrogen, I’m guessing they work for an oil lobby or something… but I’m just wondering what they are downvoting?

Something I thought about is that I have more charging points for an EV in the Lounge I’m sitting in, than there are Hydrogen charge points in the whole UK.

Well I last looked a couple of years ago and there were three in the UK, I found one source that says there are 14 but half of them are offline and in places like Universities.

An impressive 1 for every 18,736 miles of road, and a working one for every 37,471 miles.

I wonder how far you can get on a full tank?

We could have told them… but you should never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

I nearly did. this on my last car. A really good tip.
