@geordie *pithy rejoinder, though I suppose 'pity' kind of still works... 🙄

@geordie looks like it flows nicely... Would probably flow a bit too much for my writing style (I tend to write very small), but I'm liking the evenness of the line. 👍

Looks like half a century of neoliberal rule has delivered great results for the UK...Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, is being forced to dim lights and cut sanitation services due to bankruptcy - ABC Newshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-17/birmingham-uk-bankrupt-cutting-public-services/103965704

@trib @geordie I may have misread one word in your post that caused some seriously raised eyebrows until I realised..."enterprise agreement erotica" 🤔

@geordie did you do a big cleanout recently? Those drawers have far too much empty space in them, that could easily hold so many more shiny things!

@geordie seems to be some sort of web traffic marketing analytics company owned by LinkedIn? Might have 'AI' web crawlers.

@geordie @BBCNews isn't a gait where all feet are off the ground at once the definition of a 'run'? I seem to recall that hippos are quite good at running.

Always great to get emails from your super fund explaining 'market volatility', and how it's actually not so bad that the orange despot has cratered your retirement savings...

Came home from the school run this morning, and looked over at the neighbour's yard. It was a bit squishy when I mowed our front yard on the weekend, but now? It's a quagmire, running from the gateway between our houses all the way to the kerb.Check our water meter to make sure: nope, zero flow.Go knock on the neighbour's door."Hey, I think you've got a leaking water main.""Oh, no, I called the landlord, he checked it, he said it's just wet from all this rain."Readers, I've lived in Brisbane long enough to know what a lawn wet from heavy rain looks like. This is not it. "Well, let's just check your meter. Do you have any taps on inside?""No, everything is turned off."<Look in meter pit, flow indicator is turning steadily>"Oh, maybe that's why our last water bill was $700..."Judging by the amount of water coming out now, it's gonna be a lot more this quarter!

So, how much of the Nat's latest "I'm taking my bat and ball and going home!" tanty is because they can't cope with the idea of a woman being their boss? 🤔#AusPol

Hey, does anyone know a good primer on chaos theory?I was just explaining the Mandelbrot set to kidlet, and they want to read more about it now. I can grab a copy of "Chaos" by James Gleick, but wondered if there was a better option, given it's almost forty years old. #askFedi

Always amusing to see someone accidentally CC every email address in the company when sending an email, only to have a couple of auto-responders set to 'Reply All' start bouncing off each other... 🙄Just shy of a thousand messages exchanged before IT managed to put a stop to it. Including scores of "please remove me from this mailing list' emails that were sent reply-all... 🤦♂️#CorporateLife

Writers’ Coffee Club for 16th June 202516.Do you write out accents phonetically/use eye dialects? Why or why not?Only if I want to make it really clear someone speaks with a particular accent / speech pattern that is unusual, otherwise I’ll just leave it to the readers’ imaginations, to enlist their help in making the story more ‘real’ for them. I’m sure most readers will imagine the MC speaking in their local accent, for example. To me, she speaks with an Australian accent. 😏 #WritersCoffeeClub

@camwilson Hang on, is this the same person who wants to be the sole arbiter of what constitutes 'anti-semitic', and who wants universities to be defunded if they don't crack down on pro-palestinian rallies? 🤔

@stux @alisynthesis @dgar I picked up a copy this arvo and tried it out for about five minutes between finishing work and cooking dinner. It looks pretty - a bit of that WoW vibe without the ludicrously huge armour and weapons. I found the controls quite a bit oversensitive, though - the sort of mouse movements I'd normally use had the camera whipping all over the place.Definitely looks promising, though. 👍
