Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Well, at least the person with mental health issues on the train was being tracked, I guess. Unless this is some weird scam. It looks like some weird scam. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I do like how somebody has decided to improve this by adding 4 lines and killing the little humour it had in the first place. Americans, gotta love em. 020
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm cold, but according to my temperature probe everything in this room is 20°C or warmer. Has this summer broken something? 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Absolutely nailed my life. "Concentrated knife maintenance investment" has me in tears. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 05/10/2026None whatsoever, but if you do it up front, you don't even have to make it this ugly. The efficient way to do it is metered hot air / water to each apartment and massive central heat pumps and storage though. 021
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 05/10/2026TV and film were fine but my grandparents had a painting done by a my aunt who'd taken sunday school to heart. A scene from hell, fiery mountains and a vally with burning people and demons running through it. Hung in the spare room lit up by passing headlights coming through a gap in the curtains. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Putting something Japanese on in the background while I work, in this case some random anime. This is the warning that comes up at the start. FX trading anime? What? Why? I guess I might learn some technical language... Alt text for ease of reading. 100
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Our worst fruit tree, that hasn't grown an inch in the 5 years since it was planted, has produced a single apple. Can't wait to share the crop with the family. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My dog most of the time vs my dog at one minute to tea time. 020
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Picked up the bass again a few months ago after 20 years of not playing and this weekend I thought I'd try and learn slap bass ftft. Delighted to say that after only four or five hours practice I can now play a god-awful rendition of Give It Away. Family are being as supportive as you'd expect. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 17/09/2026There also turned out to be quite a few very poisonous snakes that I was asked to steer clear of, and some hippos that were lucky a drive away from our camp. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 13/09/2026First time in the gym after being ill for 4 weeks, and my weight belt doesn't fit. How much was that monjaro stuff again? Also, I could have sworn we were over the weather now: 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Trying to keep the sulphate content too a minimum, I have tried pasteurizing the cider before settling. This should kill the yeast and drive out the CO2, so that it settles faster and allows back sweetening when it goes into the keg. Anyway. Now we wait. For a week or two. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 11/09/202630 years ago (and since) popular science media ran an articles on cliff side dark streaks on Mars. Paraphrased: "Water! Probably salty ground water!" My first though was: Looks like dust flows. There's lots of dust on Mars. It'll be dust flows. Today in science news: it's dust flows. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Perhaps I should complete the set and get a 5 string. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Please, Netflix, let me turn off the subtitles. I'm a big boy and can watch things in a foreign language without help. [Subtitles set to Arabic so I can't read them, but I still keep looking at them, so irritating] 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 24/08/2026There is something deep within our dog's DNA which means on sunny days he absolutely must be outside sitting in the shade of a tree. Even when it's 38°C outside and 22° inside he whines to be let out and does his thunder storm act hiding under my desk looking worried. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Bored and too tired to do anything useful, I've just watched some of Season 8 of Rick & Morty 😐 They've replaced the drunken chaos with the word 'fuck'. It's predictable and dull. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Oh that's an easy one. The A-pillar of a 2005 VW Golf. Although that better describes my nemesis than me, to be honest. Anyway, if you are going to throw yourself at one, best to do it at low speed because they're quite solid. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 09/08/2026A page from スーパーの裏でヤニ吸うふたり called "Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You" in translation. A manga that consists almost entirely of two people sitting and talking. And smoking. Sometimes there is standing and taking and smoking. Occasionally there is shopping without smoking. 111
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Think this brings the number of figs we've got from our single fig tree this year into the 80s. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Goodbye trusty light grey converse, lasting 19 years of weight training isn't bad. Finally wore through the soles though. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 02/08/2026We've got 10s of kilos of gages from our tree this year. Ouillins Golden Gage, apparently. Very sweet, they remind me of the dates I had in Tunisia. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Better still, fine someone else with a personalised number plate aimed at you and follow them around. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I'm going with either no, because all quadruped mammals have 4 knees, or no, because no animals have 4 knees. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Weirdly, some of the young foxes here deliberately run out in front of dogs, repeatedly, like it's some sort of game. And if they're on the lead, will come up close and run back and forth. 020
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Difficult to do it justice with the phone camera, but sunset behind Mt. Fuji. 011
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Last stop on our itinerary, and they weren't lying about the views of mount Fuji. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Japan's web apps are basically this 90% of the time. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 11/07/2026This may look like a normal river, but it is in fact composed entirely of sweat. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Not generally a big fan of malls, but I quite like these km long covered shopping strips. Especially the ones that are technically, hilariously, roads. 010
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Brutally hot and humid today, but I did take a photo that looks like a castle tree house. 020
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Message from our dog border, paraphrased: "It's very hot, every one is tired, except Ricky who is still full of energy and running around." Yes. Tell me about it. Anyway, the dog appears to be having the time off his life while we're on holiday. 000
Office Gorn @simian60.bsky.social · 09/07/2026We're staying two doors down from a sushi resteraunt and this evening I ditched the family and went for dinner. All good, they actually spoke Japanese to me, at the end I asked if I could take a photo of the chef. I meant "photo of the chef at work" but obviously something got lost somewhere. 000
