IMHO, the London Shard has more Sauron than the Brooklyn Tower

Image of the Shard in London with an eye of Sauron interposed between it's spikes. It is captioned 'Mordor via Bank' in a reference to the London Northern line branch

Lifted from the fediverse. Harsh way to learn

Screenshot of a reddit post on r/ableton. The poster asked ChatGPT for help organising their project folders. ChatGPT had them permanently delete their entire uears worth of music recordings, sessions and projects.

I just saw the old video for Linkin Park's 'Numb'. Wow Shinoda is so young

I very much appreciate how easy it is to code an object up in OpenSCAD. Few hours design work, some prototyping and now this is a sliding shelf!

I spend my days torn between 'I'm in danger' and horrified fascination as the worm eats its own tail.

It’s been a long time since a corgi post, and the world is such a particular shade of brown at the moment that I generally have little to say. So instead have a delighted butt. #DogsOfBlueSky #corgi #dogs

The endless waiting after a new system build...

Screenshot of a file sync dialog. The text says "Syncing file 10071 of 122304" and underneath a small progress bar, "58 GB of 651 GB - 16 hours left"

Well I'm weeks-to-months away from more enhancements to the office so I took a preview

panoramic shot of an office with an Ikea Kallax storage unit mounted to the wall, some shelving with books, a trophy, photos and two dragon statues. And a desk with large monitor, suspended in the air, Mac (closed) on a laptop tray, two AudioEngine HD6 speakers, underdesk tray with a split Moonlander keyboard. Underneath the desk there are a few cables dangling, and a side table/desk is visible to the right, under a window.

The whole scene is saturated in red and a bit of blue, except the Kallax which has three different colours in the cubbies.

House, and corgi, to myself today. Frigid cold does not bother this one! #DogsOfBlueSky

Close photo of a patch of grassy field. In the centre is a corgi on it's back, enjoying a roll in the icy grass. Her chesty-floof is pure white and her belly is pink. Her orange outer coat shows on the appendages and her legs are spread wide.

Adventures in product naming: cold brew carafe, or crime syndicate?

Image of a white label on brown box. In addition to a product code and bar code, there is a black and white text box (text is white) that says "COUNTY LINE KITCHEN". There is a mason jar pictured next to it in black and white.

Interesting lack of VP roles in the rightmost column... thought we were past this.

I found ISA Y2K upgrade cards in the first sysadmin office I inherited a few years after

Image of a very old computer board of the type called 'ISA' (predecessor to PCI etc).

It has a battery, some large through hole components (resistors and capacitors) and two chips. It says 'Made in China' on the right and there is a sticker that says 'VOID IF REMOVED'. It looks clunky and thick compared to modern cards.

The crows are congregating. There is not a pigeon in sight. Support your local murder.

There is a bare tree against a light grey overcast sky. There are over a dozen crows in it, plus one that is swooping off to the right. In the foreground is the top of a fence and a shed roof

Ahh i see the thirst bots have arrived. I think the top one is likely a bot too but it has a 17 day posting history so still evaluating...

I have to congratulate my neighbours for their innovative use of a trampoline in place of a proper summoning circle #lifehack

Trampoline, with safety netting, in a backyard in front of a building project.

The trampoline has a vibrantly glowing red object/light in it that is at least a foot and a half in diameter

I was amused by seeing this in my rear view today. Now, you can be too.

Image of a man in a convertible with the top down, as seen from the car in front of the man. The passenger seat headrest has a robber's mask (eye and nose holes) in pink over it.

It’s 2024. UK headlines continue to try to scare us about the weather despite the country falling to pieces. After decades of this, they have to try really hard to come up with new scares….

Headline claiming the latest snow storm is a ‘Norwegian Troll’
