I mean I can think of 10 words you could delete in the name of brevity, but go on cold email person, go on.

@rgarner haha.

Look I'm sure your client has a fantastic sponsored post, but I'm elbow deep in the Fallout Wiki trying to understand how the heck to best equip my settlers.

@rgarner I need to get up close and personal. Always been a shocking aim.

I’m a fiend on the machete

Very spasm-y legs when I went to bed last night, but an ibuprofen and a couple of drops of cannabis oil and I slept right through. Surprising, but most welcome. It bugs me that I can’t get access to this legally without huge expense. It’s a game changer.

@swisslet I really need to secure me some cannabis oil for the very odd time I'm convinced it would help.

As you say, very prohibitive at the mo.

@tosbourn@masto.ai avatar

@swisslet that's incredible.

I haven't needed something like Gabapentin before, but just very occasionally will get symptoms that I know others treat well with cannabis.

What are your thoughts on re-opening old issues vs creating new ones and referencing?

I tend to create new and reference, the old issue was a point in time and team/project context may have changed since.

I was kinda hoping what with it including a country actively involved in genocide that there would be less buzz around online, I’d wrongly assumed folk would boycott it.

I’ve never been interested in it so it’s no skin off my nose to continue to ignore it.

@ianRobinson maybe speaks to how it maybe is more low key this year? Which is what I had imagined! I’m getting a fair few posts about it.

Stressful work day ahead. Things I wrote are being remote installed in user premises, and we had to make last-minute changes I'm not entirely convinced about. Fingers crossed.

I visit the Multiple Sclerosis subreddit every so often and it is terrifying how many Americans have stories about their doctors saying things like;

  • research these drugs and pick one
  • we can’t offer this unless insurance
  • try no drugs and we can check in again later

Anything that moves socialised healthcare closer to the US model needs to be set on fire.

The Co-op Live venue debacle sums up so much about corporate greed.

Would it have killed them to wait until the safety checks and infrastructure was finished before booking acts or selling tickets?

I appreciate you don’t book stadium acts on a whim, but you could easily factor in the costs to keep it empty for a month or two before things kick off proper.

The amount of wasted time, money, and stress this will have caused so many people.

Just finished the Fallout series. Super fun! Up there as one of the better live action things I’ve seen recently. Already excited for a season 2.

I hadn’t played the games before, don’t let that stop you giving the series a go!

I’ve started playing Fallout 4 off the back of the series. It is so much better than I assumed it would be.

Your neighbour might own a cat and you'd never know.

I’m working on a project that has some memory issues with their jobs.

Used a memory profiler, one job made just over 1,000,000,000 memory allocations (billion, with a b!)

I’ve my work cut out, but I think I’m gonna learn a tonne about memory best practice

@rgarner my je-memory is alloc’d!

(That was sore to write)

Even tried changing an ENV on Heroku! Have had to bring out the big guns and actually profile the work. 🙄

I kinda wanna play some Fallout but I distinctly remember not enjoying the mechanics of one of the games I played at an unknown time and on an unknown device.

Might wait a few months and see what second hand copies are flying around.

@rgarner I didn’t appreciate the community building you can do and I have to say I might never leave Sanctuary. Got a nice wee watermelon patch going.
