Morose

BTW, on (a very drunken) Saturday night at a dinner party, I ended up playing SingStar at a friend's house. I sang about five songs inc. "Love Is The Drug" and "Enjoy The Silence". I was told the Roxy track was my best performance!

I have Apple Music playing 'my station' - ie. random tunes it thinks I'll like. Once I was clear of my first two meetings, I put it on and this tune was first.

First tune of the day - For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music. So naturally, I think of @paulette7.bsky.social!

Long day, but I got more of the decorating done. It was tricky. This wall sealer stuff is almost invisible, and unlike actual paint, as runny as milk. It gets everywhere , so the whole bathroom had to be covered in polythene sheeting - like some sort of murder crime scene.

Roast dinner now.

A slightly jaded start to Sunday, after an evening at some friends’ house, for dinner and beers. They’re vegans and the food was lovely. They’re also fans of DIPAs so brought a dozen high ABV hazy IPAs. Those 8% DIPAs really hit hard, especially the next morning!

I know what you mean. I’ve been a MacUser for about 25 years or more at home, but generally end up working with Windows.

I only discovered the fact that Teams has a separate preference setting for links to the main window system, recently when I, like you,got fed up with the links opening in Edge.

Thanks!

What platform are you on? Win11, MacOS, Android, iOS?

There’s usually an option to set a default app for certain things such as hyperlinks. On Win11 I’ve noticed that there’s a separate pref setting for links in Teams

If not,see if you can just copy the link and paste it into your default browser.

Lovely pic (understandable anonymisation notwithstanding).

I take it that ‘pick me’ girls means those who are attention-seeking online. Perhaps formerly known as “thirst traps”?

Things that are described as “Fun fact” are NEVER fun. They’re mainly tedious little Cliff Claven-esque trivia about which almost no-one cares.

THIS.

We could all do without the manufactured right-wing culture war BS.

I’ve had to fly on a few 50-seater “dash 8” planes (no idea what the 8 is about), and boy do you feel every sodding bit of the buffeting. Proper shit-yer-pants stuff!

You have my sympathy.

Still, enjoy Scandinavia! I love it!

I've never been good with things like Binary, so I bought a book titled 'Binary 101' to try and get my head around it.

Absolutely useless. It was apparently the fifth book in the series.

See also: 'At least the fascists got the trains running on time!' No they didn't, they just shot the people who pointed out they *weren't* running on time.

I’ve seen folk whose opinion I respect saying we shouldn’t look down our noses at Mrs Brown’s Boys, as if it’s a quaint/misunderstood art form.

Respectfully, I disagree. This article sums it all up. The show isn’t just dated and unfunny,it’s dull-as-fuck. https://apple.news/ApQSR8ncmR_uH-ZRfVHYqSw

On #SaturdayKitchen, Rick Stein has just said “Divide your foaming batter between the rings.” … and my inner schoolboy sense of humour has been triggered #fnarr

If it’s in my home - A
It it’s at work - B

My only slight problem is that for the past eight years I’ve worked from home 100%. Massively no maggots have been involved.

Now listening to Richard “Groove” Holmes jazz, baking pain au chocolat and making coffee, as is tradition on a Saturday morning. Stanley is alternating between sunbathing on the deck sofa and cooling off on the cold kitchen floor.

"Today's discussion gents, is how you can't say anything these days, without groping...err.. I mean... offending someone"

They say the age verification is anonymous, but if that scan of your face falls into the wrong hands, you're only one reverse image search away from your violent ex, or regime you've spoken out against, being able to identify you. #ageverifcation

Nigel Farage urges minister to apologise for Jimmy Savile online safety claim Minister Peter Kyle claims that by opposing online safety laws the Reform UK leader is siding with sex offenders.

It's a weird day when I end up agreeing with the
Reform Party.

If the age verfication was only for porn, it'd be no issue, but when it hits social media, where some folk NEED to keep their accounts anonymous from violent ex's or regimes, that's overreach.

Good morning lovely.

Mercifully I’ve not seen this post, or that guy. Having not had coffee yet, I thought you were alluding to Donald tRump for a second there.

That's nuts! Superb serendipity though. Hopefully the boy has joined in family activities on the holiday too!

I'll tell you about the thing that go cancelled another time, maybe via DM. I've spent most of the day very angry. I delayed other important work, just to make this deadline and the c*nts cancelled on me with 50mins to spare.

I've done all I can. Need to speak to one of the utter bellends in Platform (who NEVER document things) to find out what they've called a network location, without which, nothing will work.

That'll have to wait until the morning, because of course those fuckers clock off at a nanosecond past 5pm.

I'm not a fan of white wine (but LOVE red) however, I know that Gavi is pretty good stuff. The flowers look great!

Thanks x.

I need it!

...working to rescue someone else's project because it HAS to be fixed by tomorrow, and they haven't been trained on how to do the (highly technical/code-based) work.

Yet another case of management giving unsuitable work to people. FFS.
