Humans are so flippin' dumb.
that's what's extra infuriating: everyone's so obsessed with violently enforcing their "COVID is over" narrative, mask mandates and conventions are being torn down even where they were common before COVID!Just a few months ago, friends told me about people refusing to wear respirators in an asbestos-contaminated building. Asbestos!
I caught a bus from the bus stop just outside Wimbledon Bridge House. Every time I go to that bus stop I'm reminded of the old days of Domark and Eidos and so on, and also there was Ian Jackson, and all that '80s stuff.
I wonder if people living in Silicon Valley get that kinda of feeling all the time, as there are just so many tech company HQs there.
Woo.
I've never actually used the Atlas measurement network other than a quick experimental poke at it many years ago, so I probably won't actually use these credits, but anyway, nice to know. :]
(The main reason it's not near 100% uptime is because the probe failed at one point and I had to replace its USB flash stick to get it working again. It was dead for a few months before I had a compelling reason to go to the datacentre and fix it! Then I moved it to home so I'll be able to fix it more easily if it breaks again.)
So, my laptop might need its keyboard replacing; the W and O keys both seem to be going wonky - smetimes not registering, ther times registering *after* I hit the next key, transposing them. I know why the W is giong: Minecraft. Not sure why the O is, though.
So, I look at the handy-dandy service manual.
oh.
(Grr. I wonder if there's a way to fix it from the frontβ¦)
I've been building away on @nano :nanoBlobOwO:'s Minecraft server, and wanted to share a few pictures. But then I found my "ace rotunda" is kinda difficult to get interesting pictures of because there aren't really any good angles, oh well!

Wot the hecc, let's do a #FursuitFriday. I may not have a fluff I like very much any more but I'm allowed, dammit.
(To clarify, I still adore Kelsey and want the best for them, it's just that their only incarnation is very old and threatening to fall apart. They deserve a better physical form but I'm too poor and/or lazy to provide one. I guess I'm just a bad guardian for a cartoon character to be lumbered with.)

Where did you last see it, dearie?
Before and after.
(Getting the rental house next door ready to be sold, involving a new fence to reestablish boundaries between our garden and its, and removing the apple tree that fell into the rental house's garden a few years ago. After it fell, I cut off all the branches I could get through with a hand-saw, but it clearly still had a well-connected root system and started sprouting new branches and growing apples before we could get anyone in to take the trunk away, so it came to be something of a feature. But sadly it Just Won't Do if the place is to sell with a decent amount of garden, so unfortunately it had to be cut up and fed through the shredder this weekend. π)
