I love all the extra toppings you can add at the Little Ramen Bar. Which do you think I should choose? (Hint: one will definitely be the 🧄 💣 )

@LifeTimeCooking I tend to go egg + garlic bomb + wakame

🇸🇰🚂🚃🚃⛰️ Good morning everyone with pictures of EN 443 "Slovakia" from 🇨🇿 towards 🇸🇰. Waking up in 🇸🇰 and having a nice breakfast at our 🇨🇿 Deluxe sleeper compartment while winding through the Slovak Carpathian mountains⛰️ is an absolute blast 😍!

The breakfast with two disposable paper cups and a yogurt on a tableau. Boxes with the breakfast items in the background.
Beautiful lush and green forest visible through the compartment's window, while crossing a river.
The ZSSK class 383 Siemens Vectron loco in bright red livery is waiting for departure at Košice railway station.

While walking around the 18ème in Paris this morning… there’s a car someone wiped out in the night. Petrol still dripping, indicators still flashing.

Here's a photo I took on this date in 2016 - of my favourite cafe-bar in Warsaw, Poland. Relax, people. Just Relax.

People complaining both about paywalled articles and about being asked to turn off your ad-blocker to read an article... I don’t think you get to complain about both of those things. One or the other.

Went to the Albert Park farmers market this morning. Oddly I never buy much at these things, it's mostly an excuse to meet up with friends who do buy stuff while I walk around admiring the produce and meeting dogs. So many dogs!

The Albert Park market is in a park once occupied by a gasworks, nice spot. Also easy to get to via the number 1 tram. 🚃

Market stalls beneath eucalyptus trees. A large red-brick building is in the background.

This old weigh station (made in Birmingham) sits at the entrance of the former gasworks at Albert Park. Solid chunk of metal.

@anne_twain I don't really need to know that; it's just that I can't tell when I share it (because I'm logged in)

@anne_twain The Age/SMH access is only $4.50 pw AFAIK, might be worth subscribing.

'Stitch incoming' keeps popping up on various platforms and it's been driving me mad. Just googled... now it makes sense. A tiktok thing.

timrichards,
@timrichards@aus.social avatar

@sister_ratched TikTok is a closed book to me, I'm never signing up. I'm a text guy, not video.

timrichards,
@timrichards@aus.social avatar

@sister_ratched Still pissed off at Musk for ruining Twitter. I met a lot of interesting people there.

Received spam from MS overnight. I can’t remember the last time I received spam from MS

Pushing copilot.

Thought their last assistant was meant to be the be-all and end-all of assistants to end all assistants (that I also never used). You know, the one named after the halo character. Whatsherface.
