I'm not American. I follow the James Hoffman method. I've moved around a lot.
When you think about it, IKEA are the true Swedish House Mafia.

I'm not sure that would be 2c would it?
Instead of saying "Here's my 2 cents" to introduce an uncertain opinion, you could use the phrase "Here's my 1000 Spotify streams".

Seriously how is it possible that the moment you open the chocolate drawer, a child appears behind you asking "what is that?". They were supposed to be in another country!

They kicked the AP out of the oval to make room for this pathetic “journalist”.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I feel like Trump could shill an energy drink called "Putin's Dick" on the White House lawn and the US public would be all "Fuck yeah! Gotta get some Putin's Dick in me!"

Before buying a cassette, check its dimensions to make sure it will fit in your deck. They should be something like 6,5cm x 10cm x 1cm (h/w/d). If the specifications deviate significantly from that, or worse still, aren't provided by the label, we would advise extreme caution.

It's been a while since I'd last used Helm. It still sucks.

Refused to buy lunch today from one of my usual places because are now only taking orders online.

I don't want to share my email, name, phone number and have it linked to my credit card just to order a burrito.

So No Man's Sky is still great. Every update just gets better. Hello Games are pretty awesome.

Maybe there is some discovery feed of crazy on there I haven't found.
February 15, 2025 at 11:48 AM
I do wonder how people find all the crazy stuff on their LinkedIn. I feel like mine is all self-congratulatory (which seems fine. It's for pushing your brand) but I don't have any crazy right wing politics.
Even the Americans I know on there aren't talking politics of any kind.

I have Apple Music and listen to it with my Google Home speakers.

Today I asked for "Titanium by David Guetta".
Google said "playing Titanium by David Guetta"
Google played "Titanium (David Garrett Edition) by David Garrett".

These are not the same things.
I tried multiple times.

I could do with an auto-filter for bsky that can screen out posts that cover sports (Inc Super bowl) and TV/movies.

The keywords required for these vary constantly and are hard to manage, but it's the sort of thing crowd-sourcing works well for.

I imagine it'd work in the opposite direction too.

Does anyone know which fruits go well together? Asking for a blend.

I've decided to start posting my business advice here rather than LinkedIn. My first piece of advice is to learn negotiation. Understanding how trades of unequal value can benefit everybody is one of the most universal lessons you can learn.

Not many posts about #Singapore, so here's one.

My favourite thosai in Singapore is called Heavens and is near Buona Vista MRT station. The Royal is a delight.

But my favourite thosai *place* is Al Mubin in Bishan. Those guys are great.

I do kinda wish I had a bit less American news on my bsky feed. Is there a way to find people from elsewhere? Europe or South east Asia both work for me.

Like yeah, Trump and Elon are assholes and are doing terrible things, but I'd like to hear about terrible leaders in other countries too.

The LinkedIn questions are becoming increasingly bizarre, vague and meaningless.

The most shocking part is that people write serious responses to them instead of treating them like the pointless AI generated nonsense they are.

Decided to write some tests to work out why a thing wasn't working. Made a few changes to make it easier to test, all tests passed, problem gone.

I guess I'm forced to admit tests can be useful sometimes. Also that async coding is hard.
