I wrote a thing (ages ago) about this nick.zoic.org/art/l2iot-io...

In a better world, my washer/drier/fridge could be connected to some local house network which would do nothing other than coordinate power usage and notifications and the big I internet would have nothing to do with it unless I explicitly enabled a gateway.

Time to find out what Judas will do for 30 bitcoin ...

I assumed it was a starter like a sourdough starter: once you get the TP colony going it just grows faster than you can use it.

Looks like it'll heal without surgery, just rest & physio so that's my next adventure, hurrah for MRI machines :-)

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM Kay Ryan The room is almost all elephant. Almost none of it isn't. Pretty much solid elephant. So there's no room to talk about it.

Yeah it's got to be immobilized or you risk it setting badly, the good thing is once you get through that bit it's all about gently using it again while the bone builds strength again and that phase isn't anywhere near as annoying.

There's a thing there where you can get email notifications, generally they seem to come about 24h in advance.

It was the constant demand to add "just one more species" that finally turned them racist.

(that's clearly a parrot, leaving noble corvid owners unrepresented!)

I'm currently seething not because *I* can't afford the knee MRI, which is only covered by Medicare for 16-49 year olds, but because there's plenty of other 50+ year olds who must be facing a sudden financial shock.

yeah, one of these days it'll happen on a non-overcast day where I have enough warning and enough working knees to piss off down to the coast for the evening ... being in the northern suburbs, inner Melbourne just whites out the whole southern sky from here.

Keep a sharp eye out tonight then, sounds like it might be going off ...

Zohran for NYC logo but it says "Teenage *MUTANT* Ninja Turtles"

Have only just realized I can edit the HTML

Recalcitrants!

Ah well, perhaps an AI claimed that and ran away.

Accurately estimating that existing would likely have made it worse.

A cow wearing a t-shirt with the word "SICKOWS" on it looks through a window at 4 crudely made tools and says "MOO... HA HA HA... MOO!!"

If you turn the telly off your brain might start working.

"No more crimeing for that guy."

Seems unlikely you can extrapolate from a maths assignment for 4 year olds, but maybe I'm just not good at maths.

Stood up funny. Yeah, it wasn't the hiking in Spain or the cycling all over Melbourne or even all the heavy stuff I've been moving around while we fix up the house ... nope I stood up funny and pop goes the weasel.

I was sure this headline was going to finish "... and I look forward to the many challenges of this new role"

All bivalves do is lie (on the sea floor) and eat hot chip.

Scallop-pilled.

We could just say "last confirmed date" and that wouldn't be untrue, right?

Thanks ... knee injury, so it's painful but the shit posting will continue!

*shakes Magic 8-ball*
It says "renew your Ambulance Victoria subscription", is that bad?

A "Penthrox" painkiller inhaler as used by Australian paramedics, posed on an Ambulance Victoria woven blanket. Thanks, paramedics.

Thought I'd try this "vaping" thing the kids are all into.

Horses are such swivel-eyed loons. Hundreds of kilos of hooved beast terrified of a handful of tubes.
