I have taken to locking the #cats out of the bedroom lately to get a good sleep, also one of them had a little accident a while ago which necessitated a cooling off period. Last night they pulled a fast one on me. They know the time I usually retire, so they hid in bedroom and were biding their time until I fell asleep. I woke up at 2am feeling unusually warm, and there were two cats curled in with me!

That feeling, when all the vowels are gone in #Wordle, and you still haven't solved... Why?
Never put a treadmill and an air conditioner on the same circuit. Partner fired up A/C while I was on said treadmill in the basement, I got launched! #running
Under Ken SIm and ABC, traffic enforcement in #Vancouver was put on the back burner. Less tickets written, more dangerous streets. Maybe he was hoping the dangerous drivers would hit the street people? It doesn't work that way Ken! https://bcdrivinglawyers.com/return-of-traffic-enforcement-bc/
The sheer number of e-scooters everywhere in #Vancouver has given cyclists a temporary reprieve from the haters. #Cycleyvr

Woe betide those driving high compression engines in this gasoline market. Single malt scotch is cheaper! Ride a bike and stop at the jar store for some Glenfiddich instead!
Always entertaining to see the ABC #Vancouver councilors try and throw the Vancouver City Staff under the bus for the villages plan débâcle.
The CPU fan on one of my boxes gave up the ghost. I found a suitable replacement fan from a German company called Be Quiet! So far, it's living up to it's name!
47 was given the bell from a scrapped RN submarine, HMS Trump. It's literally a bell end. Once I figured out what was going on, I howled! #uspoli

I shredded my feet on some barnacled rocks coming ashore from my last open water swim. Funny how you don't feel much pain at the time, but your feet look like hamburger when you finally haul out. Fortunately, the feet really heal fast due to the salt water. I will probably invest in some neoprene booties. #openWaterSwimming

@hamishb I found that my elcheapo Mec Rain pants lasted on average about four years of five day a week commuting. Not breathable pants, but ideal for an ebike. Last time I bought them, they were on sale. Showers pass is also good, but more expensive.

@3DBill @screwturn I think he's talking about the attitiude of the hetero world to sex. Most gay men, especially older ones, have a far more pragmatic view of sex. It's just self care.

One of my biggest disappointments as a kid science nerd, was that meteorology didn't involve actual meteors, unless of course, you were a dinosaur.

@TechConnectify I remember what the adjustments were called now, they were called convergence. Something that had to be done with all colour pix tubes. but with the three tube projection system it had to be done regularly because anything would make it drift out of convergence. The idea was to make the separate RGB tubes illuminate the same pixel. If you didn't do this regularly, the screen looked like shit.

There’s an argument that invariably comes up when people start discussing the ethics of technology. They’ll say something like, “technology can be used for good or bad, it depends on the person using it. The technology is neutral.” Often they’ll throw in an analogy: “a hammer can be used to build a house or kill a person.” https://emilygorcenski.com/post/our-age-of-silicon-is-collapsing/
