Lads, I have a delivery supposedly coming from Evri that is now three minutes outside the delivery window.

What odds are there on it turning ing up?

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@Bez_Lightyear It turned up 20 minutes ago.

Fair play to good old reliable Evri.

AirTags are kinda shit, right?

We have one on each of our cats for a little bit of peace of mind. Couldn’t find Milo this morning, so opened Find My, only for it to tell me that it couldn’t reach the tag.

He wandered in a minute later, so fine, whatever.

He’s sat no more than 5 metres away from me right now, but Find My can’t find his tag to make it make a sound.

For 200 years after the first European tasted a pineapple it was basically impossible to ship one across the Atlantic without it rotting.

And here we are in the 21st century just dumping them on the pavement.

The sun is shining today, and Apple Music has just shuffled up this absolute beaut from Royksopp.

It’s whisked me right back to lounging by a pool in Ibiza in September 2003, where I drank an ungodly amount of San Miguel while listening to this on my MiniDisc player.

Wonderful.

@emsquared It’s proper, isn’t it?

I’ve put the whole thing on from the top. Nothing but big things.

@emsquared This track, from 2014, is beautiful.

Was staring at a boring task I need to do with absolutely zero fucks for it.

So instead I did another task that required me to go outside in the sun.

It was nice.

Still got no fucks for the boring task, mind.

Just going to dump my mock Aussie outbursts here to save annoying my Aussie other half when I still say all the sayings no Aussie actually says:
"Bonza, rippeeeeeer, beaut mate."

I will however end with a legacy outcry from before I was even a thing from Auntie Jack, a tv character butch male who dressed in women's clothes and yelled in top strine:
"I'll rip yer bloody arms off"

Australia. It's a funny place.

@emsquared Can you enquire as to how often “some mongrel” might “nick me ute”, please? @Bez_Lightyear

Just put on @labr to see what’s shakin’ right now, only to hear a rebroadcast of my show from Monday.

Now, can I get away with listening to myself in the office, and how do I explain that to anyone who might walk in?

Not gonna lie, I can’t be fucked doing any work this afternoon. Just want to laze in the sun with my book.

Which is unfortunate really, because I couldn’t be fucked doing any work this morning, so by and large, I didn’t.

Bit of an odd one, but can any other users confirm the following behaviour?

If you pin a tab in a regular personal tab group, the tab will shrink to a small square, but if you pin a tab in a named tab group it’ll stay the same size as the others.

If this is expected behaviour, why?

I’ve tried with a Personal and a Work window, and it happens across both.

It’s not workflow-breaking or anything, but I’ve just noticed it and can’t unsee it.

@matt Well I’m glad it’s not just me then.

I wonder why they’ve done it that way?

With @witewulf suggesting a Clutch track for the next edition of , I’ve been reminded of their absolutely fucking incredible cover of Fortunate Son.

There are few songs more capable of making me feel like I could take on the world than this one.

I was clean shaven when I got to work this morning, but one listen to that track and I’ve sprouted a full beard and am now stalking around trying to find some wood to chop with a big axe.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Now wondering if I could get away with a Clutch edition of my show. Just two hours of me playing a selection of Clutch songs, because they’re fucking great.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I regret to inform you all that this song has been my hyper fixation today. Currently on what I think is my 15th listen.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@DomSathanas It’s both of those, and also the swing on the beat. Makes me want to rule the world.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I think I closed the activity rings on my Watch by air drumming to this.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@DomSathanas Also, I’m pretty certain Vim & Brio recorded a Peel session in 1998. Pretty heavy d n’ b if I remember correctly.

Until the day I die, I will never be able to remember how to insert a hyperlink in a comment.

Is it (text)[link] or text? Who knows, I’ll just have to search it again.

It’s up there with how to wire a plug. I know how to do it, but I always have to double check which wire goes to which pin. Always. I have wired dozens of plugs in my time. Dozens.

@Bez_Lightyear Boy, have I got some bad news for if you ever need to fit a regulator to an acetylene bottle.
