Arstechnia confidently stating that Arch isn't used in production systems.

Lololololol. I think they're underestimating Arch users.

I'm wondering if it's something to do with the incoming installation of some NHS equipment but that seems a bit much.

I've alerted him anyway and he can deal with it. He's far from senile.

I was talking with her mum on the bus. She asked me where I lived now. I told her and she said I used to live down there with X. She hadn't realised I'd got on the bus with X so was quite surprised when I turned to X and asked him if that was true. It had been so long ago they didn't recognise each other. X happens to be GW8ASD if you know him.

Back in the factory today. I've been nice enough to mask up.

How can one human body create so much mucus? Thankfully still testing negative for COVID.

nostr:npub16jupxu70nh0pg0wt4maseaf2fg3kv2tgcjal2kaaunms2ltdaxysdry8u7 I spend a lot of my time at the moment monitoring the effectof extreme polarisation in the USA, it worries me a lot that I'm seeing it taking hold at home too.

nostr:npub1c0j00l2myxm88tggq202wsd37y7e0y9v64hegk7g6drx8qape9tqxx6t9s It's not so much in the way that politics is polarised at the moment, most things are 50/50ish (Ok, 52/48). I have never seen a backlash like this in the entire time I've been interested in Welsh politics.

What worries me though is it appears to be coordinated by the usual suspects and some others I haven't identified yet.

I also know four people personally just this week who have had their FB accounts hacked to post anti-20mph stuff. Someone is deliberately causing havoc.

Has John broken Mastodon?

i should point out this isn't by negotiation or any other horrible shit. I negotiated a situation that works for us all. I feel sorry for the person that has to go to Crewe but that's life.

nostr:npub1lgfmnpwn287jsyga4pcxxdp3fnr6qa0hxj83hkphp0r82c2cwfhsvwlstr Hah! I don't need to run for shakey hands, they're a permanent fixture.

I've been asked to cook a meal for 6 people tomorrow night. Problem is I'll be 100 miles away.

Hmmm.

nostr:npub1zpt9zrs8e9tdmrx3d9r752rr30t9u98e6cmgvtpfw3zm5wa3fh5szq8tt8 I've done it before online but it's not quite the same. I once had 128 faggots delivered to my old local pub because everyone wanted to try them. Great night.

nostr:npub1asm22q5r4a65hqcwjg8h0q4zpz0r5ezzdq3ulwme2765kynnv24q0m4pqa To be fair, our place is very much give and take. They don't take the piss. I did the thing as it was easy and I was sitting there. I'll get that back at some point when I want to fuck off early.

Anyone here from Bristol? Do you know a good butcher that sells faggots in the city centre? Hit me up.

My dad's picking me some up from Tewkesbury tomorrow but I'm open to trying more.

Anything better than those you get from Farmhouse Deli. They're nice but there's something missing in them that I can't put my finger on.

I know I go on about faggots a lot but they're absolutely unobtanium up here and I don't count Mr Brains as actual food so when I have the opportunity to get some then I do.
