Anyone with the barest of skills will have escaped any of these characters.

Only in London I am told.

So Trump is on drugs.

Conservative projection is a confession.

I have an internet pencil.

Getting reliable internet through the house while renting crappy houses means I end up using ethernet over power bricks.

Every couple of months they will fail and need to be power cycled but the switches on the power point are occluded by the EoP brick without enough room for my fat fingers.

I would just grab any pen or pencil to use as my switch flicking tool but they are constantly purloined by my children so I keep a special internet pencil on my desk.

My dog lives in a perpetual state of happy confusion and it pleases me so much when he does the head rotation. It never helps him understand anything but he sometimes rotates even further once I start giggling uncontrollably.

So what days of the week is it that the FBI aren't allowed to use deadly force?

For those like me wondering what it is:

Geany is a small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME - Geany only requires the GTK3 runtime libraries.

The whole wrapping up world war 2 using "the gadget" just reeks of writers struggling to wrap up after writing themselves into a corner.

It must "look like the future"...

I guess, if you are stuck thinking the 80's are the future.

Wrap it up boys, we've solved climate change.

Sticks are a dime a dozen, not of interest to anyone. A nice stick, now that's something special. You take that baby home.

Nowhere near enough leather, whiskey and wood.

Try the all new Dodge Pedestrian Rammer.

Make your problem someone else's problem.

Is the hard drive failing and constantly blocking reads and writes? Maybe, check the SMART data.

Is the cooler full of hair/fur/dust and clocking the CPU down? Maybe, look at the thermals etc.

If you don't diagnose issues you are just guessing and potentially wasting money replacing parts that are fine.

They were using rclone so all of the transfers would be hash checked. Whether the file integrity on either side of the transfer could be relied upon is in some ways a matter of faith, but there a lot of people relying on it.

You could go hog wild and include tax in the prices too. Then the price of an item could be the price of an item instead of the start of a maths quiz.

Mirrors.

Finally finish acceptance testing, get the changes deployed to production, wrap up the documentation. Job well done.

When I fall from a great height I am well versed in what I should do to have no effect on the outcome.

Scree slope leading to an extremely high over vertical dropoff at the top of a mountain. Slipped, started sliding and couldn't scrabble faster than the loose rocks flowed.

There was one single small scraggly shrublet. It had a single root that after previous rock slides had been exposed for a good foot.

I scrabbled sideways and managed to get one hand onto the root just as my feet were going off the edge. The root creaked and for an eternity I thought it would break. It did not.

I pulled my legs back up and managed to scrabble the fuck back up. Worst school excursion ever.

The scorpion stabs the cabbage and says it's in my bag of grain.

Mathematics.

Scene: Customer walks into toilet, the door closes.

*Short pause followed by blood curdling scream"

Jump cut to outside, screams echo, pigeons fly away startled.

Mango sap is no joke. That door is going to be nasty.

Robot vacuum. Used to drown in collie fur and the constant angst of vacuuming.

Requires a fair amount of maintenance but still a massive time saver.

Snake ate the ducks we were going to eat so it was allowed to digest them then we ate the snake.

Not bad, tasted a bit like duck weirdly. Lots of bones.
