Fuck it, I'm muting most of the politics. Can't deal with chronic insomnia, my wife's health, (which I can help with) and politics in a bunch of countries (which I can't)

@SJohnRoss yeah maybe it'll be safe in 2025

… and the stupid wind took my hat. I didn’t even have it on I was holding it worried about the wind — pulled it right out of my hand. How did people live wearing hats all the time!?

Maybe the MTA people have some kind of grabber??

@futurebird oh no, I was going to say you looked great in your hat

Wait, do non-Aussies even know what a Doof is?

@vampiress nope, I only understand Aussie slang if it ends in "o", prezzo, arvo, servo, convo etc. Unless it's in Bluey.

@vampiress Rory kinnear is not a merry fellow in that. And his boots aren't yellow either!

OK this might be the right idea. You fill it with books, they don't get dusty... they go in the closet or deep in some storage nook.

Then in 15 years you can look at them and maybe part with a few... I can do this!

Working on today, so I'm putting my designer hat on.

I mean, it's a figurative hat but... if it was a real one I'd pick my favourite one here.

@vampiress that's a great hat. Reminds me of seeing the 4k release in the cinema and being genuinely shocked to all the detail like these decals I never saw before.

That reminds me, only own it in HD 😔

@vampiress the colour of that rainbow is what reminds me. Admittedly I might also have been drunk in the cinema...

Aiming for an insomnia hat trick for night three. Joy. Trying sleep podcasts but they may as well whisper "go to sleep now" for the distraction they are managing

@SJohnRoss I've just tried the (UK) shipping forecast like that and while it does stop me spiralling off on something else, it doesn't actually make me sleepy and is a bit irritating.

Might try again though.

Congratulations America, this may be the worst curry description I have ever seen. I was not brave enough to try it

tinheadned OP ,
@tinheadned@dice.camp avatar

@SJohnRoss that makes a lot more sense! Curry spellings do include marsala in the UK, just to make it more exciting

@SJohnRoss yeah I think you should be suspicious of single Italian dishes in Indian places and I should watch out for Indian plates in a diner 😁

I have decided that henceforth, a double Screwdriver (two shots of vodka topped off with orange juice) shall be known as a Phillips Head.

@vampiress add some clamato juice and get a Canadian screaming about the superiority of the Robertson drive

    Some ants spin silk cocoons for their pupae, others do not— some ants will use cocoons when the colony is small and then switch to “naked pupae” when they have the numbers to better maintain ideal humidity.

    The pupae is still, frozen— but very much alive— her body is in the midst of the most violent stage of metamorphosis— Slowly crystallizing from formless larvae into the highly structured and purposeful form of an adult ant. 🐜

    @futurebird this is reminding me of one of Alan Dean Foster's books set in his human-thranx commonwealth that's only from the point of view of the insect thranx. Metamorphosis sounds terrifying to live through even if you're designed for it!

    @vampiress I remember being astonished how fast everything felt. As a kid I thought it was good but I don't trust my judgement at all!

    I wuz robbed.

    More specifically, I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened. And then he tried to do it again, a week later!

    @SJohnRoss it was a frozen one and I think the taste haunted for a bit. Next year I will get back into making my own 😬 🍕
