Only read posts. I don’t want to necessarily hide read posts. If it’s interesting I want to keep coming back to it. Also if it’s a junk, offensive, triggering, spammy repost I don’t want to have to “read” it to make it go away.

Nice

Recently I was at the dump an the guy in front of my had two full wheelie bins in his car. I thought he was the smartest person ever until I saw him try to 1) maneuver a full bin out of the car and 2) upend the bin into the skip.

Nice. Thank you!

My old neighbour tells me that the person who moved into our last house has been known to chase neighbours down the street to insist they come in for a cup of tea. So I think there is a line here where it can become socially awkward.

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I’ve been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I’ve seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can’t see anyway to adjust it.

Tusky is my current preference, but have tried Megalodon, Mastodon and Fedilab. I couldn’t get with Fedilab, the font sizes in particular were never right.

Just received a letter this morning with the schedule of engineering works on the railway out the back. Every Saturday night in July plus the first one in August. 11pm - 6am. As if I’m not already going to be run ragged with the kids off. I mean, I understand why and don’t have any fundamental objections. And being so close to a station is a big positive. But still. Urgh.

I’ve got sandals on. SANDALS. Does this answer your question?

TIL it’s High School in Scotland and not in [edit: some parts of] England!

Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.

Username checks out.

Technically I was born a Geordie, raised a Fifer. So I know Dunfermline (or at least the Dunfermline of the 80s) well.

Another in Edinburgh. Although I’ve been here for (checks notes) 33 years. Yikes.

Edinburgh here. Glad to know that it’s physics, and not those pancakes I had for lunch.

Butter and marmite. Just make sure to use two knives, unless you’re an animal.

Edinburgh calling. No rain.

I so glad our eldest swapped swimming (9am, other side of town) for tennis (11am, ten minute walk away).

Can’t beat a bit of Marble Madness. I believe it’s in Braehead Arena which is used for Ice Hockey, so hopefully it has a beast of an AC system!

We live in Edinburgh, where the schools finish at lunchtime, so I have about 3.5 hours of freedom.

And this weekend we’re going through to the Play Expo retro games thingy in Glasgow tomorrow! Last one was in 2019, so looking forward to that.

They’ve added a sticky explaining (sort of) their reasoning. And also apologizing to those who think they should remain closed. I was going to cut and paste some parts but then the 5 minute daily screen timer I’ve imposed for ‘the app that shall not be named’ ran out.

Something about standing in front of a dam with a sieve.
