The Zoopla "Redesign" feature is completely bonkers. It will happily reshape windows, heighten ceilings, or move the property from the middle of a city into beautiful countryside. But it has absolutely no idea that it could possibly put the sofa on the other side of the room.

TIL that Time.now in Ruby has different precisions on OSX and Linux. On OSX I can save a a time to MySQL and retrieve it with no loss of precision (6 decimal places). On Linux it starts with 10 and then comes back with 6 after save & retrieval.

Hey @pcgamer.com, I’m trying to read an article on your website but you have so much adware on there that every browser on my 2 that old iPhone crashes after about 30 seconds.

PS. Can anyone recommend some steam deck games? Not too long, not too intense.

I’m not one of those people who goes out with wipes and spare clothes. I trust my kids to deal with the world in a sensible way.

Today on the bus my 4 year old put a chocolate egg in his mouth. Chewed it. Then said he didn’t like it and spat it into my hand.

I wish I was one of those people now

I think we are all grown up enough to accept that leftover pizza is a 10/10 breakfast but are you heating it up or eating it cold?

Hilarious 4 year old prank of the day: sit in the hallway and methodically remove all the laces from all the shoes.
