Oh good. Electrical issues but only one circuit or half a circuit? Of course it's the wifi and kitchen. This seems deliberate and I am 2am angry about it.

The Day of Dredd has ended. Remember, this was not a blueprint to be followed. CC @molcher.bsky.social
A wonderful book where we’re creating the world of Judge Dredd in every wrong yet expected way. You won’t like how it starts.

My wife decided to join our DnD campaign as a Dwarven monk, but since she thought it was weird for a Dwarf to know martial arts, she decided her character was a master of the ancient art of Dwarven Slapfighting.

How could it be a bad idea when I’ve already survived it twice? It’s time once again for flavours that would not exist in a caring society.
A can of Phorm Energy. This time Blue Blitz which bodes well for a taste sensation this side of survivable.

Book hype! Once upon a time, I joined the military. It sucked. I liked sci-fi and I realized most military sci-fi is about leaders and hotshots. It's rarely about the guy at the bottom who never accepts the military life. So I wrote it. It's punchy, it's real, and it's fun. tinyurl.com/35cwwasu

Thank you brain. I did need to wake up at 2am after only being in bed a couple of hours because we’re all very annoyed at something. Can’t say what or why but now very awake due to reasons of being annoyed at something or other. Good work all around.

That's a Kea cage. It doesn't work, they'll just chew through it, but points for trying. Reactive armour has never stopped a Kea ever. They just steal it and leave the stuff on other cars or roadways for funsies.

Due to last weeks huge success at not having a near death experience or suffering random organ failure it’s time to try a different flavour. This one should taste like FREEDOM.
Phorm Energy drink called Screamin’ Freedom. Cherry, lemon, and blueberry flavour along with those other pesky natural flavours which sound more like a hostage situation than an ideal description.
