@amcewen lol amazing. As others have said, a true Big Data problem.

Current brain state. Must be Thursday.

Is there a word for the style of mobile game that has the “10,000 gems for £100” type monetisation? Other than “whale bait”, obvs.

Oh god, everything is awful and also on fire.

Thanks to Bluey, I have a new namesake: https://blueypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Floppy

Boris’s government has taken the Trump lesson on board 100%. “What if we just ignore the rules? Nobody will stop us. What will they do, arrest us? LOL.”

We’d better work out what we *will* do, and soon, because they’re not going to miraculously get less corrupt.

@jonobennett hahah that’s amazing

@mdales done, you should have an invite. Thank you, much appreciated! I promise it's basically zero work required, maybe like 5 minutes a year in total :)

@mdales that's about the size of it yeah. Click a button every couple of months. I'll sign you up :D

I can't find my spudger. I am unable to spudge. Things which should have been spudged are unspudged.

Redesigning our living room. Building a scale model out of Lego to try things out is perfectly normal, right?

I need co-admins for the mastodon.me.uk open collective who can approve server expenses, as they won’t let me do it myself any more (reasonably enough). Any volunteers? Basically no work involved, I don’t even claim that often.

Oh god, no, not you as well, Tim. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, TIM? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57474504

Going to start watching Doctor Who with the 8yo daughter, she's gonna love it. Question is, do I start with the latest series and Jodie Whittaker , or rewind back to Ecclestone and start from there?

/me summons up the power of banana clan

I can’t believe it’s 2021 and samba/cifs is still the main option for cross-platform network shares. Isn’t there anything better?

Here's the version that was in my mind. Thank god. Not losing it.

Thank you all for coming to my TED talk.

WORKED IT OUT! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_(song) shows that there was a single version of the song, which was in the video, which was *different* from the one on Last Splash (which is the one I listed to death). SO, Last Splash is *wrong* on Apple Music, because it has the single version.

Mystery solved. Now, how to find the original LS version.

What's going on? 6 Music this morning played "Saints" by the Breeders, and the harmonies were different from those I remember. And I go to listen to Last Splash and they're also different, the high harmony is missing. Have I lost a specific frequency of hearing? Or am I remembering it wrong? ARGH.
