@Shes_Gabrielle I know that nothing I can say or do will make a material difference, but what you experienced was crazy and shouldn't have happened. I hope you don't have to go through similar things again, and that you have a good support network around you
Guess who's just spent over 5 hours working because of DDOS attack on another customer of our hosting provider :blobugh:
I didn't push my chair in as I got up after lunch. When I was putting the plate in the sink, I heard a crash and turned around to see that Daisy had used the chair as a springboard to jump up onto the table. No food or anything breakable there, luckily...
@bestthingsbot our new puplet Daisy galumphed down the hall at breakfast to see where I was and then sat at my feet waiting for my toast
"France bans citizens from filming and identifying violent police officers"
That's fucked up
@bestthingsbot I finished watching The Haunting of Bly Manor. Elegaic isn't a word I use often but that show is an exquisite combination of terror and tenderness.
@pzmyers I just recalled the British slang "nonce". It's a word that should come back into style, IMO
"If The World Was Created By A Programmer"
The last panel had me in tears 😂
I thought for a while that it might be possible to reconnect with my father after years of not speaking. However I just hung up on him mid-sentence through an anti-lockdown rant.
He kept repeating the same lies he's read in the Murdoch press, and refuses to accept that people might lie to put profits ahead of public health. I think I'm better off without him in my life
I'm cat-sitting again. After a couple if weeks, Pi is brave/bored/... enough to go exploring. Now he wants to go outside. Not a good idea, unfortunately
My brother caught the neighbour attempting to start work early by tearing down a shed on Sunday afternoon. He put a stop to that quick smart
I'm babysitting my brother's cat for a week while their neighbour begins demolition for a rebuild. As per usual, Pi has gone to ground and only comes out to eat in the middle of the night. Maybe he'll be more sociable in a day or two. The ironic thing is that our council are going to be working outside on a footpath rebuild so we'll have noise as well, although hopefully not as much as at my brothers place
I just got a flier from the NSW Govt. in the mailbox. Apparently there's a "popup" cycleway from Petersham to Newtown coming soon. Because apparently creating proper permanent cycling resources is beyond the imagination of NSW public servants 😒
I've spent a few days binging October Faction and it's quite reasonable, although it doesn't take the genre anywhere too different. There's some good world building and character development and I quite like some of the special effects. Unfortunately it appears it's been cancelled.
One immediate impression when I started was that there was a big age difference between the parents. It turns out that they were both born in 1970 so I guess he just aged badly :)
