I’m imagining a rented, non-deterministic dishwasher that only gets some things clean some of the time, and occasionally makes things dirtier.

- You can rent three of them and once the first one is done you can move the dishes to the second one, and so on.
- You can then also buy two more sets of crockery/cutlery and use whichever comes out cleanest.

But as long as you keep renting them, washing up is dead!!

@evilstevie @meltedcheese @mjd sometimes I can fix my wife's computer problems just by walking into the room. She says her laptop is afraid of me 😆😅

Still feeling wonky after getting dental work done, so for today please enjoy this May Day-themed image of Bigbot from a calendar a few years back.

I should not have to spend any of my time keeping an organisation like Palantir out of the NHS. This should be a given on national security grounds alone, but for many more reasons beyond that. Unbelievable honestly

Listen, I posted the picture of a couple of poorly panted Warhammer miniatures, got a few likes, looked at who liked it and followed those who seemed to boost a lot, and now I am awash of photos of gorgeously painted miniatures!

Your timeline is as alive (or dead) as you make it!
