Piranha Plants in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are the sleepiest creatures in the game, with some of their subtypes being up to 110% sleepy. This may be a reference to the famously sleepy Piranha Plants from Super Mario 64.

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

I've had the "auth" org on the Sentry hosted SaaS product for ages (judging by my email, 2019). This leads to the hilarious consequence that sentry.io/auth/ leads to a signin page that sends me an email saying you requested access, but the actual login page for Sentry is at sentry.io/auth/login/

Is it just me that's like "hmm, this supposed 'new UK-EU deal' to allow UK citizens to use EU e-gates comes very suspiciously close to when EES is supposed to come into effect"?

I mean, I'm sure the details of said deal will take until, say, October to hammer out...

Yeah, it does feel like they've outsourced their accounting software to Fujitsu, like the Post Office

Out and about, and I get a flat tyre

No problem, I have a spare inner tube

My bike handpump decides to give up after 3 or 4 pumps

Welp, guess I'm being told Not To Continue This Trip :p

Monzo running stand-in on GCP is terrifying, but at least it's just stand-in so even if I'm having a bad day I can still buy lunch
