I love that I can say to almost anyone, of any age, in any location, that we're going to see "the Rickroll Guy" in concert this weekend, and they all instantly know who I'm talking about.

You clicked the link, you took the bait,
A music video sealed your fate.
Rick Astley's face fills up your screen,
The greatest trap the web has seen.
Never gonna let you go —
You should have known, but here we are though.

Damn. It's such a shame about his "bone spurs" and letter excusing him from mommy, otherwise countless lives could have been saved by him taking part.

I know you shouldn't respond to spam/phishes. But, this one has me intrigued, and now I really need to know more about the cat & the duck!! I have so many questions now.

I received a spam email to my inbox. It reads:

Dear [Recipient Name],

I hope you are having a great day.

I am writing to share some information regarding the cat and the duck. [Insert specific details or context about the cat and duck here].

Please let me know if you have any questions or need further information.

Best regards,

It's from a headling from The Telegraph that reads:

I guess this is the 'why' - it's using FTS and 'match'. Therefore, returning 'worth' for 'worthing' is _expected_.

B:\a.zza @mcbazza.com · 28/08/2025

Q: How do I get an exact search against the word(s) I search for? e.g. I search for 'worthing', but, I get matches for 'worth' Apologies in advance if this is answered somewhere. I've tried quotes (double/single), and searching the Discord. Found the Github. Guess I raise as an 'issue'?

If you browse to: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune... It references this setting as: [see image] Which is _actual_ help. Sheesh. Just a help popup that offered a breakout hyperlink to this, would suffice

Image is a screenshot from the Microsoft Update settings page referenced.

It reads:

Quality update deferral period (days)
Default: 0
Windows Update CSP: Update/DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodInDays

Specify the number of days from 0 to 30 for which Quality Updates are deferred. This period is in addition to any deferral period that is part of the service channel you select. The deadline calculation for both quality and feature updates is based off the time the client's update scan initially discovered the update. See Enforcing compliance deadlines for updates (link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/wufb-compliancedeadlines)

Quality Updates are typically fixes and improvements to existing Windows functionality.

Dear $vendor I think there has been a manufacturing issue at the factory with this cat. Only, I opened the box and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to assemble it correctly. Please advise.

Picture photos a photo of a black and white a British shorthaired cat. The cat is lying within an open cardboard box. The cat is contorted in a way that can't possibly be comfortable, and yet the car is very happy and asleep.

This is Stevie. We love Stevie. She loves us. Our lives are better for having her in it. And her crazy brother, Denzel (not in picture).

Got the new catellite dish up on the wall. Some fine-tuning to do, as currently the only signal received is "ackackackackack"

This is 1yo Stevie.
Stevie is cute. Stevie is smol.
Cone-of-shame is extra-smol.

Stevie has a boo-boo on her neck and needs to stop scratching it.

Image shows a picture of a 1 year old domestic short-haired kitten/cat.
It's colouring is black & white.
It is wearing a protective "cone" around its neck as it has an open sore on its neck that it keeps scratching.
Her name is 'Stevie', and she is very, very loved.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Cats are highly skilled red-teamers, that can bypass and evade any control, whilst leaving a dead mouse on your pillow to let you know they achieved their objective.

I missed it all. Since it's gone, here is a picture of Stevie. She's great. Except when she brings live wasps/mice home for me to chase around the room. Aw heck. Even then she's still top tier cat.

Leia(rip) cuddling her bae, just before we lost her last year

Picture shows two cats.
On the left is Leia (RIP). She's a jet-black, short-haired domestic cat.
She is nuzzled in the neck of a black and white cat (Doyle, but you can' see his face).
Leia loved Doyle more that simple words can describe. Her eyes would light up when Doyle entered the room. She would chirrup and run to him.
Sadly, he was oblivious to her desires. Though, he seemed to enjoy the cuddles.

Had Leia not passed, she would have gone on to be one of the greatest cats ever. Initially, she was so feral and timid. But, I persevered with her, and I'll never forget the first time she climbed onto my chest and settled down. That was a good day.

I miss her so much.
