@Pat Apologies, force of habit. I should have taken your response as a request given the context. ✌️

@davep @natharari I *may* have a copy somewhere. I’ll take a looksee, and inbox you if I do.

@natharari @davep The old (BBC?) radio plays are worth a listen, too for another take on the books. They should be available somewhere out there (*waves hands vaguely towards the interwebs*).

@Pat For reference #YPLAC is (was?) a popular account and hashtag on the birdsite/$8chan. There doesn’t seem to have been much of an uptake on it in the fediverse, yet, at least not that I’m aware of.

@Pat “You Drive Like a Cunt” and “You Park Like a Cunt”, respectively. The pejoratives here are British English, fwiw. I know how squeamish some other cultures can be about certain words.

Is there a #YDLAC (in the vein of #YPLAC) for twenty-something morons who drive for literally miles glued to their fucking phone and faffing with their fucking hair instead of paying attention to the fucking road? Asking for a me.

Note to self: get a rear cam fitted.

TIL there is a non-zero “legal limit” for cocaine while driving. 😳

Perl: There's more than one way to do it
Python: There are 37,234,108 ways to do it, and all of them are inefficient as fuck, except that one way which you can only find out about if you sacrifice your self-respect and five pints of your own blood on the altar of StackOverflow, if you're not first flamed to hell for asking an inappropriate question.

@arclight I have no words.

@xtaldave How come the most vociferous elements of The Master Race™ are always such exquisite specimens of the human species?

I am convinced that any academic post with “in residence” in the title is contractually obliged to reply-all to each and every mundane department-wide email to the effect of “I’m sorry I’m too important/busy to attend $EVENT”.

@rjblaskiewicz @trinsec Two in a matter of days. “Get off my porch” has taken a really dark turn.

@trinsec TBF this is exactly like real life-a robovac encircling a do-not-give-a-what cat is something to behold.

Christ, it sounds like you take your life in your hands if you *checks news* ring the wrong doorbell in the USA.

@trinsec I may do. Just a small one.

@trinsec Feel like I’ll need one of those kitten posters by my desk.

@theonides In other news: water is wet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
