I'm going mad. Is there a simple solution to creating a small e-commerce website? With #WordPress you're paying for multiple premium plugins and it's just bonkers. It's like being caught in a web.

Haven't looked at #Wix or #Shopify really. Ideas?

Edit: it's the multilingual stuff that is making it a headache.

In Sweden we'll use the euphemism “flowers and bees” for explaining how sex and/or procreation works. And it makes sense, right? Pollination and all that.

But in English it's apparently “the birds and the bees” instead and… exactly what did the birds do to the bees!?

Did they eat them and get stung? Is there honey involved? Do the bees like it? They die if they use their stinger, right? Does it result in bee eggs and bird larvae?

Not to judge, but maybe you could consider waiting until the kids are older before going into these more elaborate kinks?

In a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers found that while doing either aerobic exercise or strength training was associated with a lower risk of dying during the study’s time frame, regularly doing both — one to three hours a week of aerobic exercise and one to two weekly strength training sessions — was associated with an even lower mortality risk.

Somewhere, there is a person on this instance who used their work email address who must have recently left the company and turned on every email notification mastodon has to offer.

Soooo… many…. Email bounce backs

Walking through the graveyard the other day and I spotted somebody squatting behind a gravestone.

"Morning," I said to which they replied, "No, just having a shit."

Dave went skiing with his mate Neil. So they loaded up Dave's car and headed north.

After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

'I realise it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained. 'I'm afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house.'

'Don't worry,' Dave said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather improves, we'll be gone at first light.' The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

But about nine months later, Dave got an unexpected letter from an solicitor. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the lawyer of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Neil and said, 'Do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?'

'Yes, I do.' Said Neil.

'Did you, er, happen to get up in the night, go to the house and pay her a, visit?'

'Well, um, yes!,' Neil said, embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.'

'And did you happen to give her my details instead of telling her your name?'

Neil's face turned bright red and he said, 'Yes, look, I'm sorry, mate. I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?'

'She just died and left her entire estate to me.'

what's the most fucked up mishearing of lyrics that you've had that you only found out were wrong wayyyyy later?

for me, in "Dirty Deeds" by AC/DC I thought they were saying "Dirty deeds, 𝘿𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛" and I just assumed "Dunderchief" was some Australian 70's slang I didn't know

it was when I sang along to it in the car with Mrs. Smiths that I not only learned it was actually "𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱", but also that Mrs Smiths could somehow laugh hysterically and show total disappointment simultaneously

Just updated every patch cable on the network to Cat 8. That's not a big deal since I'm not running labs anymore, but I realized I had a bewildering mix of 5e and 6, with one 7 and one, egad, old 5- so ripped and replaced all with 8.
