I made some #Strudel starter cards to tuck around our #emfCamp EMOM tent.
They're intended to give people a starting point for play, offering a spoonful of inspiration without getting too bogged down in detail.
Feedback welcome and I can host the lot (12 of them so far) somewhere if anyone would like to download them for use or to improve them [as long as you share updates back!]

No win for the bin - but a quarter of the electorate making the protest vote is quite something.
He also earnt 25 times the support that itchy skinflap Fox got... which is incredibly pleasing!
Anyone know anything about electric radiators and Home Assistant?
From a bit of research, it looks as though many of them are powered by the same board (Tuya) and seem to require a manufacturer's app (yuk!) and connection to some cloud (yuk!) to do smart things?!
I have found a couple of Zigbee 3.0 enabled ones - I can't tell if they still have to chat to some 3rd party service to work well.
Any advice appreciated, ta!

A double eclipse here. Moon in front of the sun and cloud in front of the moon.
Ah well. See you in 2081.

It's only a Prime Minister if they're divisible solely by one and themselves, otherwise it's just a sparkling Composite Minister
(Maths nerds: sorry)
Well, this'll be nice if I can get it working:
Rog Ally X 🤝 Legends Pinball machine.
So far a lot of fist shaking at Windows...
Kicking myself for not buying a crate of solar eclipse glasses and setting up a pop-up stall on the high street... apparently loads of people have been asking store staff for them.
Including me (also kicking myself for not getting a single pair) 🫠

There's something delicious about the rhythm at the end of this paragraph (from BBC News)
Looking at fridge freezers and absolutely cannot entertain buying a Smeg, thanks to Red Dwarf.
TFW you're trying not to think about Creme Eggs
Social media managers: please do something unique today and be the one not to shoehorn your brand into a fake emergency alert

Two of them? You wait ages for an emergency alert and then..
The newly released 30th anniversary Quake pack, Dawn of the Machine is pretty good fun. I'm three levels in and it's already twisting expectations
I absolutely cannot be trusted to source second-hand kitchen applicances on Facebook Marketplace.
Needed: a washing machine.

@HeNeArXn@chaos.social @oleksiy@sonomu.club Thanks for the ping. I'd have been happy to help, but it looks like you found more educationally appropriate folks (and ones I would have recommended) 🙂
Viva livecoding!

I've had GLUE (Bicep) stuck in my head the last couple of days and listening to the track does not quell it one bit

@ultrazool Nice! I'm going to be livecoding vs someone on mbira this week, so this is a very relevant reference 🙂
A gashapon emporium. In England?!
Replying to
@zool@icosahedron.website I don't think so. I'm too familiar with the etymology and it's not a word I want in proximity to my food 😅

@didier I'm disappointed I'll miss you this year!
You're debuting a new Lame sticker and a prod? 🙂

@kevinrns@mstdn.social You're trying to explain my joke to me?
It's a gag about Prime Ministers (not governments) changing so often that the timeline is confusing. It isn't a comment on process or suitability *at all*
If you barrel in with an opinion (as you might notice nobody else has) then I may offer you benefit of the doubt that you're engaging to explore in good faith. And a basic return could help you see some other angle (maybe not too far from your own).
But good faith appears not to be the case
