Oh, the LinkedIn mailbox. I’m learning what people I don’t know wanted to talk to me about six months ago.

@gruber Your oldest bar is from 1860? I keep forgetting how new everything is over there. When I lived in Nottingham, I used to go to one of the pubs that claims to be the oldest in England - Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem (“The Trip” to its friends), so called because it was an inn during the Crusades in the 12th century. And down the road from there is Ye Olde Salutation Inn (“The Sal”), which dates from the 1400s. There is a bit of a rivalry between the two establishments.

Inhumanity as a political stunt.

It’s a dismal world where this is expected to win votes.

@drandrewv2 just racism as policy. It WILL win them votes from the same gammons who cheered when we lost freedom of movement in the EU.

Khruangbin - A la Sala

Yes, yes, Khruangbin vibes, etc. Interesting interstitials that gives this an all-in-one-night throughline.

Continued groove and Malian-influenced guitar (along with many others) make this, well, what you'd expect. But also what'd you'd want.

(Still don't get why some call them psychedelic, though.)

Love the (hard to protect well) day-to-night package. Pressing pretty bit a bit noisy...

@dnanian curious as to why they are named for a Thai airplane though

@dnanian fair. I just don’t see much in the West that uses the Thai language, is all. I nearly dropped of my sofa when watching a US series and saw some Thai writing, once

Welcomt to the 32nd century: instantaneous interstellar travel is possible, people are equipped with personal transporters and programmable matter makes starships infinitely reconfigurable, but split ends are definitely still a problem

Like many people, I had my Apple ID locked last night, and it was a big hassle trying to get it unlocked and working again.

One tip - when you go through all the rigmarole to get it going again, one thing that doesn't switch on by default is receiving iMessages or FaceTime calls via your Apple ID. So, like me, you will probably be missing messages until you reenable those in Settings. Also, if you send somebody a new iMessage it will default to your phone number which may not be what you want.

@scottearle@poorlyrendered.com avatar

@jamesthomson yeah, it does sound like it should just be a renaming of everything. But “software update of some kind on the back end” on a Friday sounds like a recipe for disaster

scottearle,
@scottearle@poorlyrendered.com avatar

@jamesthomson ok then it looks like I escaped then. I was wondering if I might have been affected but had not yet seen it

scottearle,
@scottearle@poorlyrendered.com avatar

@mo @jamesthomson just don’t do it on a Friday! :)

scottearle,
@scottearle@poorlyrendered.com avatar

@mo @jamesthomson Tuesday or Wednesday are the correct days. Gives you time to postpone to the next day if you need to

@mo @jamesthomson that’s when you find the problems!
