K's car passed its MOT with no advisories, woohoo!
Have Internet outage, used the time to introduce my son to Monty Python via And Now For Something Completely Different. Managed to stop myself explaining any thumb. He's enjoyed it enough to keep watching even though he keeps saying he doesn't get it. Got just passed the Parrot Sketch & Lumberjack Song before we insisted he finally go to bed, which was a good high note to finish on.

Got a train ticket from a machine at the station and... it came out wet. Not sopping wet, but visible water on the magnetic strip and the main tickets feel damp. It was raining heavily earlier but not that unusually heavily! So, I'm guessing that machine will be down for maintenance soon

(As explained by my neuropsychology or clinical psychology lecturer some 30 years ago.)
I don't know if Musk is clinically a sociopath or just a really nasty, self centred guy.

@VulcanTourist@autistics.life @ntnsndr@social.coop Trump's Truth Social network runs on a version of Mastodon under the hood. No one federates with it. Something similar will hopefully happen when the rich techbros turn up, but do doubt there will be arguments about it
Well, the final task really showed how many people can't whistle!
Update to one of my client's websites is supposed to be going live today. Classic situation where clients suddenly find a bunch of problems because they actually started properly using the site in test this week. Gahhh! Still, I think a delay isn't going to be a problem
