Whenever I've screwed up and created a folder called ~ inside my local directory, I always jump across to the Finder to delete it from there.
Totally bypasses any issue trying to run `rm -r \~` and fucking up the escaping.

@simon@social.sgawolf.com samesies. Running and cycling, and I can’t think of a time where going out was the wrong decision too. Definitely been annoyed I didn’t go out when I first intended to though! I find going with a buddy makes me show up.
Apparently I've read one too many, "I think this is AI slop" comments against a useful/thought provoking post recently and can't bite my tongue anymore.
What's the point in nitpicking everything you ever read now? Given slop is based on averages, won't the average writing sound like it? Tiresome.
Modern hell is other people watching short form videos loudly without headphones in public settings.
Crossing the Welsh border hardly registers as an event in my head, yet crossing the Scottish border is worth pointing at the sign and shouting SCOTLAND every time. (with a terrible impression of an accent of course.)
Dropped the BMW Z4 into Birds Auto this week to get a Quaife LSD fitted, replacing the factory open diff. Lovely group of people, well looked after and proper car nuts.
Wish I'd replaced the diff earlier if anything, makes such a nice difference to the drivability of the car. Love it.

Thought the street I was staying on looked familiar in daylight, turns out I'm staying one building away from where I stayed in 2017 on my first visit. Uncanny.
Left my coat on the chair in the pub to keep my table whilst I went to the bar, only to realised I’d left my AirPods in the coat pocket. Trackable, but valuable.
Then remembered the coat retails for nearly the cost of the headphones. Gotta love an eBay bargain.
When installing a hardwired dashcam (Garmin in this case), it's worth opening the control box on the cable and moving the jumper from 12v to 12.3v. Stops the dashcam potentially draining the battery too low.
@Edent@mastodon.social RSS FTW 😜

@tamonten I have a friend who does that anytime he's near his Geordie parents, always hilarious

@andrewnez as with software, everything's a tradeoff right? 😉 That car might end up on a track, but 99% of the mileage will be road based hence the choice. Likely would make a similar choice to you if I had a more track dedicated car (never say never 🤔)
OH: “I wouldn’t put the ice cream in the pizza oven, obviously”
