Devised the perfect answer to my trivia controller issues. Existing Logitech mouse I’ve had for almost 10 years, logi+ software to remap the forward/back buttons to volume, and scroll wheel left and right to the keyboard shortcuts to turn volume up and down on VLC media player. Then I swapped the mouse buttons to reduce misclicks.
Sometimes the answers are so obvious you don’t notice them

I remember an anecdote Adam Spencer said on the radio that instead of taking his clothes to the dry cleaners he would ‘donate’ it to the op shop, let them clean it and put it on the rack for 50c, then go buy it again later. It was cheaper but there was that risk someone would buy your clothes before you.
Now everything is priced at fashion prices and it’s much less viable.

You could do an instagram/tiktok showing new things that have come in but that doesn’t actually make you money. Unless you combine that with a CTA at the end saying, “love anything you saw in this video? Buy it on our Depop, but get in now because once it’s gone, it’s gone”

She should set the MS shop up with a Depop account and start selling the clothes at second hand fashion prices instead of op shop prices

Either I’m going to convince my work to get a Pocket 4 as well or I might be able to convince them to let me double dip as a contractor to use mine when it arrives

The regular bike feels great but the heat and sweat kicks in once I stop. I can do the 30ish ks on the ebike without needing a shower. I only start to feel it after a couple of days riding in a row

Writing can be hard, especially when you NEED to do it. I got taught a method for writing SEO slop before AI where you write the headline, then the subheadings underneath, and just go in and add further context under each subheading to flesh it out. I hope something like that can help you get started

Rode through a cluster of those little bugs you can only see when the sun hits them perfectly this morning and had that thing happen where a bug hits the back of your throat perfectly and you swallow it, and that thing where a bug flies into your eye and gets stuck in there happen both at the same time.

That’s quite the ride. I’m looking forward to doing those sorts of long rides when I can

I want to know what kicked it off, or what steps led up to this. She’s Italian so I’d have thought her family would at least be performatively catholic

I’ll keep an eye on her when we run into each other at the childcare centre and see if she dresses differently

A woman we know that has A Lot Going On recently posted she got baptised into the Church of Latter Day Saints. That’s the Mormons for the more common terminology. We knew she was on a bit more of a religious bent, but I thought that would just be liking fake bible verses on Facebook. I don’t even know how she got caught up in it

Just pulled the trigger on a DJI Pocket 4 and some other gear. I watched a video on the Pocket 3 and immediately wanted one. It’s all through the business, which is the point of all this.
Better than the microphones I bought that sat in a draw for about 3 years. I’ve only just started using those now.

Absolute nightmare situation trying to leave work today. I was stuck there waiting for my manager to approve something to go out over the weekend. Thought everything was good and even got out into the carpark before being called back in because he couldn’t find a version. Then back inside to cancel the send, find a past version, to just reschedule the same thing that i did before leaving.
Of course you only have days like this when you have plans on after work

I’m not sure if it’s any good. I put on the first episode years ago when I was sick off work. It’s one of the only other adaptations I can think of

Just resolved a major point of confusion for myself that there are actually TWO indie games about being a female mechanic in 90s Japan with anime aestherics coming out this year. They’re not the same game.
One is Honcho, made by the guy that made Jalopy, which seems to be more of a cosy sim. And Kaido Genkai, which seems to have more emphasis on racing.
Figuring that out was a trip

I watched 2001 on 70mm at the Sun. It’s a great spot, and if it’s central enough for everyone I’d be happy to go there

I like going to Nova and wish I could make it there for special showings more often.
The only reason we couldn’t do that this time is we’re trying to watch Mortal Kombat II, which is getting hard to find and the indies rightfully wouldn’t have shown it to start with

Also, I’ve been trying to coordinate going to the movies with my friends and I think the cinemas have it backwards. I don’t want to go out and spend big money to watch the latest slop that will just be forgotten about in a year’s time. If I’m going out to the movies, spending big money, and making an event of it, I’d rather watch a movie I like or one I’ve heard is good.
Like, I’d rather watch Empire Strikes Back on the big screen and get that experience than take a punt on The Mandalorian vs Grogu. Cinemas should take the Kpop Demon Hunters method and leave the slop for streaming and have bottom up demand drive what goes into a cinema.

Two tall guys at work checked to see who was taller. The guy in the much less senior position won out, so I wanted to say “heightmogged by a clearancemaxxing customerservicechad” but then you need to explain to everyone what each of those words mean and why you know them
