frankenbeans posted:Speaking of luxury, you can get the big jars of Marmite again. I can't put into words how great a thing this is. Even when our country is hosed there are still enough beer factory floor scrapings to make big jars of this poo poo. Yeah but squeezy marmite is discontinued so I have to use two butter knives to make a single piece of toast or risk marmite butter contamination. Extra strong marmite just tastes like super old marmite to me. Not a fan. Wife loves it though.

I enjoy staying up late and so every longhaul flight I always make sure to get an aisle seat and just chain catch up on reading, films etc. It got a lot easier in recent years with Internet access. I read the entire works of pratchett thanks to this thread over 9 months of hopping around the world for work. I'm 6'1 and broad shouldered so planes are hell, especially as I had undiagnosed adhd at the time, the only way to keep sanity is to absorb myself into a good bit of media.

It's optional to go back to the office for my company. Nobody wants to. Especially as the company is incredibly strict about it. Max 5 people per floor. Say bathroom rotations no catering, set hours, no meeting rooms. In person meetings absolutely forbidden. Basically it's only any use for new starters who haven't got Internet at their home yet. Kinda makes the whole thing of office work being entirely pointless very obvious. Since the vast majority who wanted to go back just said some handwavey bullshit about ad hoc small meetings to get stuff done and solve problems.

I was thinking of stumping up for one of those gas powered outdoor heaters instead of a fire pit as I have a gas bbq for cooking and a weber smoker for coal and wood burning. Seems they're about 120 quid for a decent one. I just am not sure I'd use it much. Spent dinner in the garden with the neighbours, made apfelpunsch and gluhwein and grilled some bratwurst. Just wore a coat and was fine.

The gently caress are we even going to offer silicon valley? Let them mine crypto on all our smart meters? Nfts of the queen? Testing grounds for unethical tech startups tied to the DWP? It's going to be Stilton and Diana plates like crispix says isn't it?

I live by the rule of "don't touch the poop" Scrolling through the replies occasionally to various right wing folks on twitter is about as far as I go because crikey, people are nuts and universally convinced their echo chamber is the one true echo chamber. I say as I post in my own echo chamber.

+1 for vanced. Really good app. Adguard and Brave too. Really need to get around to setting up pihole and a raspberry pi some day. I really hate that I can't kill ads from my LG TV's YouTube app. Having worked in mobile advertising 2.5 years ago the costs per install for users was a warzone and the return on ad revenue was being squeezed ever tighter. I can't imagine its better now. So ads have by necessity gotten more aggressive and frequent for the same return. I will say, the ads that produced the best returns were NEVER the high quality ones but the poo poo, badly framed, badly drawn, loud or ugly ones that accidentally looked like something someone recognised. It was maddening.

One of our few competent producers on the team I was helping out on turned out to be a nonce the week before last. He was very much fired instantly but that was a 'joyful' experience of handing his laptop over to the police and trying to resist the urge to burn everything. Especially when half my meetings are booked by him and his face keeps popping up in outlook. Gah. Then... loving then... This week a guy who got promoted just this year that we were really happy with and everyone said was a "sound dude" decided to sexually harass the new producer who was helping us fill the shortfall. loving hell. I just don't get it. Out of nowhere he just decided to fill her inbox with self pitying garbage and when she politely declined and said she had a partner and a kid thanks but no... Kept loving going. The gently caress posesses people to think that's OK and that they won't get caught and instantly turbo hosed? Especially the week where everyone is incredibly angry and upset that someone we trusted turned out to be a monster.

So goddamnedtwisto that bit at the end of day of the triffids where London flooded as everyone had gone blind wasn't entirely accurate? I've been lied to my whole life. E: Wait. I'm getting my John Wyndam confused. It was the Kraken wakes where aliens melted the ice caps and THEN flooded London.
