As it's been 20 years since I made the original, I thought I'd recreate my "Monitor Slapping" GIF. Except now I'm slapping myself through time....

I'm not saying Boeing murdered the whistleblowers. I'm saying try not to run a company such that people think you MIGHT have.

the upside of having ADHD is that I can complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.

the downside of having ADHD is that I keep putting myself in situations where I need to complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.

Great, now the terfs are coming for self-medding.

I know pretty much all trans people already know this, but perhaps it needs saying.

NEVER TALK TO JOURNALISTS ABOUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH BEING TRANS. ESPECIALLY NOT IF THEY ARE FROM THE GUARDIAN AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT SELF-MEDICATION.

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.

"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.

That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.

Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.

I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.

@mattround @secretrobot I've been working for a company that hosted the helldesk for my home ISP, and only managed to bypass the idiocy-filter by phoning from inside the company and requesting they look up my employee id and team (networks) so please accept that I have done the bare level of diagnosis and move on to the actual problem, which was a DNS server of the ISP being fubar.
Surprisingly it worked. though they did ask if I'd hacked it to provide that info :'(
(nslookup and traceroute ...)
