I'm officially "old" but try not to think like that.

The dog brought out her three favourite toys and lined them up for their early morning parade.
Just had a Chinese takeaway blow-out with the fam and am pleasantly stuffed. Whenever we do this I am reminded of a super ex-boss of mine from many years ago who, shortly before Xmas, read the room and realised that many of the staff had family so he decided to forgo the usual "party" and instead funded each person enough to get a slap-up meal for the spouse & kids. We went Chinese, and even took home a freezer-full in cartons! Best company gift ever. So cheers Kevin, wherever you are :)

If you operate a web site, that can be verified as part of your Mastodon profile.
Edit: to be clear, site verification doesn't involve email either.
Could they not just borrow some engineers from Dyson to design a space toilet that actually works?

@mastodonie@mastodon.ie Or perhaps 18 months? It's not unusual for people to have a quick peek to see what unfolded exactly a year ago, so having an 18 month purge would satisfy that case, while still being 6 months better than a 2 year window.
I got my latest IEEE membership card today and it is making me feel both proud and somewhat *old* at the same time!
The fern about 1.5m from my internal office window has finally reached out to the lamp by my desk and looks like it wants to take it! This thing is growing so fast these past few days one can almost see it move.

Does anyone know if the "No AI" emoji has been proposed and/or entered the Unicode approval track? If it became official it could be used easily across all of the Fedi and elsewhere.

I've pointed out before that you have not added a Mastodon link to your list of socials on your home page. To increase visibility, please add a Mastodon link!!

Focus on the non-crabby 2% to get you through!

It's when faced with cheese like this that I'm so glad my own lactose intolerance has been defeated by simply taking lactase pills. The thought of having to do without cheese would be unbearable!
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io can imagine proximity to a massive heatsink would be pretty efficient, but proximity to anyone (especially young munchkins) who has discovered that hot cookies are delicious means that no thermal adjustment post-oven is needed. Especially chocolate chip!

All bowls should stack that well. Self-ordering even better!

The complexity is easier to understand if you examine the steps in reverse order. Once you've devised a working step N you can focus on step N-1. It's an onion layer of subtleties for sure, but no individual step is exceptionally complex.

@BBCRD@social.bbc I politely suggest that if the BBC is producing reports like this in the future, that they do not use URL shortening services in their references (as is the case in this report). Please use the actual URLs.
Annual reminder to my friends outside Ireland: it's the three-leafed shamrock ☘️, not that 4-leafed clover abomination; it's St Paddy's, not the flat burger thing; it's spelled "craic" 🥳 and doesn't mean what you think; bacon and cabbage is mostly for tourists; green beer 🍺 should be illegal; yes, we feed our cows GRASS; and 40 is too small a number for shades of green.
Happy St Patrick's (Paddy's)
It just snowed here. For 5 minutes. I'm confused.
You know things are bad when the news headlines are crazier then the ones they invent for April Fools Day.

Others tried to make use of the BBC via AI in ways that were not good.
