Trainspotting at 11

Tried to buy cigarette papers at a market stall. Guy asked how old I was. I said 18. I was 25, no idea why I did it.

I mean if everyone walked around with that part of themselves exposed then the appearance of it might influence my decision as well.

I’m British so struggle to not be polite.

Having a switch next to the door would be useful if you’re using that socket for a lamp but not if you’re using them for anything else. In my kitchen the sockets for my under counter oven and fridge are under the counter and the switches are above it so I can easily access them.

Being super clumsy I dropped mine shortly after receiving it which smashed the screen. I pre-ordered mine and due to it being a brand new and relatively obscure device there weren’t any cases or screen protectors available.

To be honest though I was considering abandoning it not long after getting it anyway. I ordered one with Ubuntu Touch. They hadn’t finalised the Ubuntu Touch support so I received it with Android installed with a promise that instructions to flash Ubuntu Touch to it would materialise soon, don’t know if they ever did. IIRC the Android version on there was vanilla AOSP and there wasn’t much integration work done for the physical keyboard. The keyboard is mainly what I bought the phone for and whilst it worked OK hardware wise a keyboard of this size is nowhere near as efficient as an on screen one.

Just keep grilling, just keep grilling

That sentence made no sense

On Threads and Bluesky, Wilson called out Musk…

Burn!

But they can not get out so it’s fine

Right now just being born on US soil automatically makes you a US citizen, regardless of if your parents are or not. It works that way in a lot of countries. I knew a guy in school who’s parents are both British, his mother started giving birth to him on a plane so they did an emergency landing in Cyprus. Due to being born there he has both British and Cypriot citizenship.

This change would stop that happening in the US. Your parents would have to be citizens for you to become one as soon as you’re born.

So am I. We’ll have to beat them to death with their own shoes…

So it was Van Halen and you’re right, it was an easy way to be sure that venues actually read their contract which contained instructions to safely assemble their stage rig. But there was a parody of that story in Wayne’s World 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_7kg5ZzDZo

Or when Ozzy wouldn’t go on stage without a brandy glass full of M&Ms?

So disgusted I had to take several pictures of it from various angles. I didn’t want to of course but it was important, for science.

I recommend Spotube. It uses Spotify’s data API and YouTube, Piped.video or JioSaavn as an audio source so no ads or paying for premium.

Yea, that’s pretty much why turning it a machine off and on again works.

Marmite Crumpets don’t exist

Yet you brought them into existence. May god have mercy on your soul.

My first cat started his life living with my friend in her flat. Her kitchen was long with a very slippery floor. The cat would stand by the kitchen door with a toy at his feet, begging someone to throw it into the kitchen for him. He’d run, jump into the kitchen, skid along the floor, grab the toy on his way past and turn around at the end of the skid so he could run back to you with it to throw it again.

I had a large bag on the footrest in my living room. My current overlord jumped into the bag which immediately slid off the footrest and onto the floor upside down. He attacked me for the next few minutes when I tried to move it.
