This winters reading is amazing 🤩

Oh and I think I like WoB.

Solent Plastics seem like they have their act together - very professional service!

Let's see how this order works out, but well pleased to be getting a couple of these.

This is for longer term storage of dried goods to keep them safe from little bugs after I place an order for whole foods for a few months. I am not going through that again! Not expensive, and well worth the investment I reckon.

eBay money back guarantee is absolutely meaningless.

They just abuse your time and energy until you give up.

Closing my eBay account, it is now not a safe place to shop.

Imagine if supermarkets were made to put all the shi!t food behind closed doors like they did with tobacco.

I can't begin to understand why anyone would want to be a politician in 2024.

What makes a person wake up in the morning and think "I will set my life goal to be amongst the most despised, mistrusted, obnoxious creatures on earth"?

It's not like there's such a thing as a good politician is there!

I just don't get it! 🤷‍♂️

Agent starts talking over the top of me while I am speaking, interrupting, but I can't hear them because, you know, I am speaking.

I say "can you not interrupt me please" and start again.

They interrupt me again.

this happens 4 or 5 times.

I raise my voice and say, "Will you stop interrupting me please. That's very rude."

They say, "I am not being spoke to like this and I am terminating the call."

Click.

WTAF is wrong with people?

We are in DEEP TROUBLE!

press.coop have disabled all the interactivity features on their instance making it impossible to go to their home page and block them.

This is bad.

I need to obliterate this horrorshow from my timeline in perpetuity but I don't know how to do it because the tools to do so have been disabled.

Any Mastodon wizards got the answer please?

Does anyone know any good resources for writing modern, ethical, inclusive contracts between businesses and freelancers working with complex setups that include multiple third party service providers each with a wide variety of license and service level agreements?

It feels like if should be relatively simple, but on adding any detail it quickly cascades into a blur of complexity and fuzzy boundaries.

Thank you!

Okay, I am getting serious about leaving search behind as an early 21st century faux pas.

I just set up a local web site running Wordpress (minimal effort) and added my first 'help' post with the answer to a question I repeatedly have to search for, tagged it and categorised it.

That's one question I will never need to use a search engine for again ... 🤩

So it begins!

I think I am developing quite a reasonable technique for v60 pour overs.

Very little cling!

Update!

First of all #KelRows is a new tag to make it easy for anyone to follow or filter these posts - I genuinely don't mind which you choose; please feel free!

Second, I have a rower - THANK YOU - to everyone who helped make this possible in such a short time. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Third, I did not get a Concept2. I spoke with an engineer at https://wolverson-fitness.co.uk, a UK company that make good stuff, and they explained in detail, how their rower was 98% identical...

Savoyarde Bilberry Tart 🥰

I make one of these every year when the bilberries are ripe, utterly delicious 😋

It's quite a lot of work, the pastry needs to be baked blind before adding the ground almonds and fruit, but it's worth it!

Oooooh! 🤪

For the record, it seems vips failed on Mac OS using Brew

"error: linking with cc failed: exit status: 1"

a whole bunch of paths and

"note: ld: library not found for -lvips
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1"

But, installing FairCamp without lvips worked just fine!

The opening scene of Source Code is superb!

From a critical theory point of view the setup for the entire film is really good; major characters introduced, premise for story set, clues dropped - just brilliant!

The number one reason I am blocked on here is because I don't think it is ever okay to promote violence!

For the first time ever in my life I have applied for a music residency - I didn't plan it - it just kinda happened 😳

My heart is pounding...

This is so far out of my comfort zone it's untrue, but I need to do something to move my life forward and why shouldn't it be with music? 😊

I have a good idea for it, I would love to give it a go, the people in the organisation seem lovely, and I need a bit of love, positivity and hope right now - so yeah - who knows right?

Is it just me?

If I set all my gear up in a studio - I seem to lose all will to play!

But the moment I put some stuff on the floor, make a mess and sprawl around, or sit with one bit of gear on the sofa, I suddenly start having fun and feeling creative!

Why? 🤷‍♂️
