🦝 The only time it's okay to tell someone how a transformer works is when you know how a transformer works and they've just asked you how a transformer works. I say again JUST asked, JUST. Check in with them a few minutes into explaining it to see if they still want to know how a transformer works

@LoneLocust Why would a chicken fry another chicken? Barbaric. Tantamount to cannibalism.

@LoneLocust No, not on a chicken. That would obviously be ridiculous.

It sounds like it's fried _by_ a chicken.

@LoneLocust I cannot excuse these things. But at least we don’t call them toad-fried sausages.

@LoneLocust Chicken-fried steak. I know you’ve explained it. But I still can’t cope.

@LoneLocust Yeah I’ve got a bunch of devices that don’t have the decency not to use WiFi.

@LoneLocust I have my IoT stuff on their own SSID (also on their own VLAN). Would prefer they all used thread though TBH. How many actually need WiFi?

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.

The poor and wretched don’t escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back
