The DMA design (Lemmings, later Grand Theft Auto) original office was over a fish and chips shop.
Now it's got a plaque.
@mattround got any backup options in place?
about to hit the weekend, and will be stuck in an Actual Office for the first half of next week so could lend my 4g router to tide you over as long as I can have it back end of Weds
@aldroid does that mean you're now in the Zugang?
@35millimetre I'd ask where you found yellow mini-shark shoes, but there are bigger questions...
where did you get a hedgehog???

Here's a lovely thing.
"By and large", as in, "by and large, pizza is good", is a *nautical* expression, dating from the 18th shading back into the mists of the 17th century of English sailing ships.
"By" means "tending opposite the prevailing wind", and "large" means "tending with the prevailing wind".
So, "by and large" means "no matter which way your ship is headed relative to the wind".
I'm a poly-dork, and one of my dorkeries is language.
I cherish this fact.
Also, I cherish pizza.

@mattround "is this ad from a tobacco company?"
if yes, it's smoking, sometimes with extra steps.

Golden Crown
The sunset is sinking slowly behind the mountain ridge behind us to the south, casting a shadow across most of the peak in front of us. Only the tip is left in sunlight.
3:30pm in November: Stöng (2917 ft/889 m) between Berufjörður and Breiðdalur, eastern #Iceland.

UK Politics, recession, Hunt, sweary
Jeremy Hunt responding to the news of the UK entering a recession with surprising accuracy.
"we can see light at the end of the tunnel".
Yes. It's called an election when we can finally tell you all to fuck off.

The Ukrainian navy is just trolling now: the original Major Kunikov died on February 14th, 1943. They literally waited until the anniversary of his death to sink his nautical namesake. https://kyivindependent.com/media-russian-landing-ship-allegedly-sunk-by-drones-in-black-sea/

"Hey, how are you, is everything okay?"
LOL OMG NO.
But for the purposes of this conversation, thanks for asking, I'm just fine.

This morning I'm got a new SSL security certificate being installed on my site so you might get a warning message for the next hour or so if you visit hypnogoria.com

I have decided that the only way that I can write this CV is to pretend that a man has just condescended to me on the internet regarding a professional matter. This will bring me the rage I need to channel in order to recite my qualifications.

One of the best things about Mastodon is that it gives me an excuse to stop when something catches my eye.
Because we don't get mail delivery to our house I have to drive to the post office a couple of times a week. Today's drive was accented by blooming trees. I know it is only February, but today feels kinda springy.
So if your corner of the world isn't quite springy yet, you can share mine.
Anything for our friends.
