Not going to call this procrastination. It’s awareness marketing.

An emotional support pickup truck, the wheels on the left right into the kerb, the wheels on the right hanging out the bay.

On the opposite side of the road is some suss and a cycleway

Can we agree that if you've got an emotional support vehicle so big that the wheels on one side are touching the kerb and the others aren't even in the bay it should be classed as a HGV & fitted with a speed limiter & tachometer?

Even this app is now wanting age verification. The enshittification of the internet is truly underway.

I’m more surprised #greggwallace has friends, or that they would even admit to that.

My wife and I both work from home. Apparently, my singing Michael Jackson songs in the style of Alan Partridge is not conducive to her productivity.

This whole AI as the panacea in web/software dev is a lie. At best use it like a smarter emmet and autocomplete but beyond that, you’re either vibe coding to prod, or spending longer than if you just RTFM.

This is just a giant un-lubed dildo waiting to happen.

What’s it like inside? Looks quite charming in a strange way that I might want one.

It was hot, sweaty and unsatisfying on the whole. But that’s enough about me.

No idea, when I used it on my knee it was fantastic at keeping it aligned a bit better, making it easier to learn again how to walk.

Hurt like hell pulling on the leg hairs though.

I misread the trademark nutribullet as the word nutbullet and if that’s not now the best word for a single sperm, 2025 is done already.

There is a spray thing that you can apply to most things that are not too gnarly, it goes on like a skin to prevent infections and prevents minor bleeding. I think it’s called second skin

3D model of the Great Sphinx of Giza in a Maya window, sitting in place, next to the same model with rigged articulations standing up and looking ridiculous with its tiny head and huge legs.

That time I rigged the sphinx to see what it'd look like standing up

Yikes. I’d love to know the reason for outage but medical software seems to have free pass for shrouding in mystery. Hope you’re doing ok though!
