Ohh yeah. I remember the tech news coverage of the cars being so easy to steal, just didn’t realise there was a “challenge” about it. Unbelievable Hyundai and Kia got away without immobilisers for so long. Really cheeky of them to cut that corner, and it backfired.

What the heck is that?

Welcome to my TED talk

19:00 somewhat ruined the illusion, bringing those modern Arabic numerals into the mix.

There’s a perfectly good sunset emoji 🌄

(it’s technically sunrise but okay)

You should open the venti, it reeks in there.

He wasn’t wrong, it was a great video

As a kid, like 9 years old, I wasn’t able to get a real Tamagotchi. I had a cheap knock-off version that had a little dog in it.

A bunch of my classmates were upset because their Tamagotchis ended up dying of neglect during the school day, but my fake-ass tamagotch has this weird bug where if you held down all the buttons at once it would freeze up and stay that way until you pushed something else.

So I basically had a Tamagotchi with a ‘pause’ function, that wouldn’t die when it was frozen.

My dog never died until the batteries finally ran out. Nice work, fake Tamagotchi :)

I feel like it’s also an outlook/mentality thing.

I personally am happy to take a few extra seconds parking, because I see it as spending time to make life easier, faster and safer for my future self when I come to leave.

Zooming in forwards is like “I care about now more than I care about later”

I also got “Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines” but now I’m not certain it isn’t just image compression artifacts.

Totally. This would be great.

If you want to watch an amazing show that actually exists, try Ping-pong the Animation. Art style takes a bit of getting used to but it’s just such an engrossing show.

It’s such a painful thing, and the scary truth is that it can happen to anyone.

I’m sure we’ve all experienced instances of this, in some smaller and insignificant way.

You take a packed lunch to work. Every day for five years you’ve taken a lunch to work, without fail. Its part of your routine, you don’t even have to think about it. Get your wallet, get your keys, lunch out the fridge and into your bag, out the door.

Then one day you open your bag at lunch-time, and it’s not there. Why isn’t it there, you think? You remember putting it there like always, but then the memories of different days are all the same as each other, and it just blurs into one.

And then you remember. Just as you picked up your wallet and keys, your phone rang. And it’s your Dad, who says he just had someone call to say he needs to transfer money to keep it safe, and you’re telling him no no no Dad it’s just a scam, don’t transfer anything! And you have to go or you’ll miss the bus, and did I get my lunch, yes yes I put it in my bag like always.

But you didn’t put it in your bag. Its still sitting in the fridge at home.

And obviously a lunch is not a baby. But the principle is the same. That frightening realisation that your own brain didn’t merely forget, but actually lied to you about what really happened that morning is the same.

And it could have been a baby instead.

Scary.

Is the answer. Cheating is a mechanism to both have their cake, and eat it.

You’re welcome. And I just wish it was actually viable to drop Twitter/X. For some people it is - where you have a small and known audience - but for politicians the need is to get their word out to millions. They’re sadly bound by where the userbase is.

They meant “Tell them about Mastodon so they can use that instead”

No, but his neighbours do.

He’s not gonna shoot
