Wait. I didn't mean 'pub'. I meant: an HR-approved Fairtrade coffee shop with excellent WiFi. Have you tried turning it off, then on again? That usually works.

Today, after a long battle with cancer, we lost @fvt.bsky.social His wife asked that we share the news of his passing, "His love for the community that he was in (as a curmudgeon 🤣). His joy for being involved with every thing that he & any team that he worked with. He fought to the very end."

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.

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,

And do you remember when TVs needed 10mins to "warm up"? When it was Winter and the house was cold, I was the one that would go power the TV up and let mum/dad know when it was working!

If you wanted to know what was going on in the World you tuned in to one of 2x TV channels, or turned on the radio, and listened at the specific time when they broadcast the news. If you wanted news that was 24hrs old and portable, you bought a newspaper.

If I remember correctly, the 'fix' is to apply the locale to another one (e.g. USofA), and then back.
