@bykimbo eventually you run out of Fleeps tho and then it's a matter of rooting around in a drawer until you find an old Farp and hope you've still got that kluzer you were saving in case it came in useful because then you should be able to bodge together a Fleep from them. But kluzers aren't marked with their polarities so you might burn down the house if you get it wrong (Farps aren't keyed).

Got myself a new Q807 for the Deffen but I have to update the paktware before I can implement it on my GWARN.

Unfortunately to do that I also need to freshen the intra-ROM corbels, but luckily I do have an old Fleep I can cannibalize.
But can I remember the right #dazzemble commands??????!!!!!

Wish me #luck!

Well I knew the UK was going to end in tears, but I didn't expect it to fall apart over Match of the Day.

I know the idea, and the way most people play Wordle, is to get there as fast as possible, but I enjoy playing silly buggers with it. Today I thought of the least likely words to start with which meant it was down to the wire 😆

The ultimate source of the smell of rain is a population of soil bacteria known as actinobacteria. When the air becomes humid just as rainfall begins, those microbes get busy & produce aromatic geosmin as a byproduct.

It got set back a few hours due to work, but the long weekend has now officially started. What to do first? Choices, choices!

Overheard in a café this morning, "I've nearly finished the trifle. I just need to add the Angel Delight". My brain doesn't know how to file this.

Who puts Angel Delight in a trifle? Confess now...

I've never written a movie top ten list, but if I did I'm pretty sure Mr. Right would be in there.

Going in to work today. Even though working a day off is always a bit of a bore, it never feels the same as a normal work day. I think it's because it's voluntary. Reminds me of all those decades ago when I moved from school to college and my results improved massively... as my Mum said to my old form teacher, "that's the difference between her being there because she had to, and because she chose to". Bright woman, my Mum.

Feeling inadequate because everyone on Mastodon appears to be a professor or a doctor or a rocket scientist?

Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato.

I've been watching a lot of these over the last few days, and I really love this one. Partly for the close call! youtu.be/bLrPXwtC-mw

Never ask for whom the dogs were let out; they were let out for thee.

Another day, another fossil fuel giant announces record profits. Firms like BP are climate criminals, polluting our planet & escaping with billions. Rather than make them pay for climate-wrecking damage, Govt has designed massive windfall tax loophole worth billions. It must stop
