Probably writing about event technology and AV, EV ownership, co-working spaces and parenting teenagers. Happy backstage or near water.

@Vivaldi I'm enjoying the browser on Mac and Linux, but how do I stop it crashing frequently when I drag a tab from the tab bar into a new window?

It's usually mid-meeting when I'm trying to move the call into another window and look at a different tab. It's not always during a video call.

Wondering if any EV drivers have seen a working Geniepoint charger recently? I'm guessing they've paid for themselves, because the company is bound to be losing money otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

My entirely useless superpower is sitting in my flat and getting easily distracted by the sound of a different train idling at Newbury station.

This morning it was the extremely late running sleeper service from Penzance (pulled by a 57).

@CenturyAvocado I used to time my evening commute based on Concorde flying over Reading station.

Today is the cat's annual vaccination day. My next task is to get the cat boxes in from the garage (without letting the cats escape through the back door) and also grab the gardening gauntlets.

@danieldurrans My wife had to spend £120 at the vets yesterday to fix a head scratch and abscess on cat #2 and was thanked with a large dead rat in the kitchen before bed.

My TV has been switched from never ending Big Bang Theory to Friday Night Dinner. That's a significant upgrade.

    Oh, what a surprise. It's not the 300,000 (Met police estimate) Palestinian protesters that are the causing the problems, but the white English dickheads society.

    Immigration is an excellent thing, especially if it weakens their sad little scared gene pool.

    Hearing that some VP of a big corporate took exception at a light hearted comments about a colleague's cat jumping into shot and complained to her manager about professionalism just makes me think he's a dickhead on a power trip.

    Why is his time so precious?

    Are the tent "lifestyle choices" also being made by released prisoners who are given a tent if they have no home to go to?

    "An Israeli guard, probably the same age as my son said to me: "What's your religion bro...It became clear to me that unless I professed my religion,...the RIGHT religion, I wasn't going to be allowed to walk forward...I was in a region where your mobility was inhibited, your voting rights were inhibited...all inhibited based on ethnicity...& that was extremely familiar to me. And the most shocking thing about my time over there, is how uncomplicated it actually is."

    @timnitGebru There's almost exactly the same line in Netflix's new drama based on the book "All The Light We Cannot See", when a (orphan German) character is delivered to the Nazi training camp. 😬

    Well, this annoying.

    Google have charged me 5p for "Google Cloud Platform & APIs".

    Wonder what process I've left running and how much it'll cost me before I track it down.

    @Edent I get invoices monthly for between 2p and 5p from GCP. I then have to tie them to business expenses.

    Sometimes I think the pre-pay option is far better.

    Hydrogen advocates, eh?

    Pic 1 - my toot, the hydrogen fundamentalist's toot, my response

    Pic 2 - my post re. excessive hydrogen advocates

    Pic 3 - the response (I am as bad as a climate change denier, apparently)

    Also apparently I deny fuel cell vehicles exist, despite having literally photographed one

    @jon I've been on the wrong end of that particular account. He was one of the first I had to block on Mastodon.

    He really dislikes fact based comments about Hydrogen and FCEVs.

    If you have 2 trains worth of passengers in the waiting area and only one train available now and another one in 30 mins.

    Which passengers do you put on the first train?

    The passengers who are already an hour delayed ? Or the ones who were expecting to depart now and make the delayed folks wait even longer?

    dans,
    @dans@mastodon.me.uk avatar

    @steely_glint Were both trains going to the same place? If not, you also need to consider displaced crew.

    Apparently EVs are only good in cities. In 100 miles across rural Scotland, I saw one petrol station and hundreds of homes with electricity and a driveway.
