Maybe not the strangest but here are 2 from my vacation to London last month:

2 women walking past. One of them says:

“I talk a lot of shit, but my fart is bigger than my shit.”

Then in Covent Garden I met a very polite drug dealer:

Excuse me, do you need any weed or coke? No, well then have a very good evening.

Nice guy, big smile.

The discussion of nuclear power, much like the discussion of communism, is met with entrenched positions on Lemmy.

Break them up!

Ahh yes the: we can’t have self signed certificates for security reasons but also can’t open up the environment to the web, and we dont have our own CA server, trifecta.

Solution: awkward, manual, certificate import process from a 3rd party vendor.

I do this:

1. Tell myself I’m not going to do it. What ever it is, I’m not going to do it.

2. Do the bare minimum thing like: open up a word document, turn on a tap to wash dishes, take something out of a box.

3. By commencing the task I’ll usually default into doing the next part like reading the document, washing a dish, sorting something out.

Additional tips:

• Break big things into small chunks.
• Dont get overloaded. If your a room do it one draw at a time so you can stop when ever. Getting trapped in a “I can’t sleep until this is finished” task is a trap.
• Lists to keep track.

P.S. I was in recruitment 13 years ago and once thought about throwing myself down the stairs to get out of work. I did that job for 2x years and used it to move to a better industry.

You can make change in your life.

Good luck, we’re all counting on you :)

Why are tetrapacks so good?

I assumed they were terrible as laminated paper can’t be recycled?

As I write this I start to think this might be one of those things I learned in high school that might be total BS.

This statue is is Budapest:

I was thinking about this. Can we crowd source add hash markers, in a similar way to how Sponsor Block opperates but with hashes instead of time stamps?

It does feel a bit 1930s at the moment doesn’t it

Yes, no one seems to raise this anymore. AI to me has always been something akin to computer sentience.

Things like ‘self healing’ systems are being badeged as AI when they’re little more than an application load balancer.

What was the behind the scenes deal on this? I remember it happening but not the details

Map Men did a good video on this:

Map Men. Map Men. Map Men Men Men Men

Same. I thought I’d go down a road at night for cover. Then a Death Claw appears out of nowhere behind me.

Don’t tell the foreigners Britain is nice.

“Meat heavy full breakfast version”

Press X to doubt

People you dont want to piss off:

1. Mother in-law
2. Worlds greatest hackers
3. The IRS

Remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

I know there is a lot of “the collapse of China lol” takes but the middle income trap is a real danger.

If your country doesn’t move to a consumption based economy you’re gonna have a bad time.

I thought I’d see this and was surprised not to.

Please proselytize your EU brethren. Signing this Citizen’s Initiative is the best chance to fix the dead games issue globally.

Call to arms!

It was like corporate said “You’ve gone 6 episodes and we haven’t seen the antagonists tits. Spin the wheel… Add a hot tub to their space ship and have a bath scene for no reason.”
