6 consecutive wins, and 1 draw in the latest game against my father in law. We each claim it was a charity call but he's the sweetest guy in the world so I know I woulda taken him in the end.

My sister's boy, though, he plays it cold. It's a nail biter from the first roll if he's in. We only played once and he stonewalled me so hard we both agree it was pure dumb luck he landed on one of the yellows and I was prepared with my hail-mary setup despite the fact he practically lives at the power station for how often he misses the yellows. Then I turned the screws hard and hit up the chest for a ride to St James for the pain and me hooting like a bastard.

We are a mean bunch. Last family game they all ganged up to knock me out early but I hung on like a cockroach until they got bored and fell to infighting. Soon as they had to start mortgaging their crap to fund the chrome I could breathe. How I crowed when my sister gave up. I try to be a good winner (or loser) but being an absolute dick is important for monopoly so they don't play that game with me leat I lose next time.

Hate that game. Wanna play?

Well, now it's recycling, right?

Pixelfed? That's an IG emulant. What about Friendica? Do they have groups?

Lake Louise Village [...] Western Canada

You mean MID-Western Canada. Western Canada is a little bit to the left.

I caught some Icelandic rap the other night on that global radio website and now I need to find it. I caught some Algerian rap - rap again, even though it's usually not my thing - a few months back, too, and it was awesome.

Old VWs just had a mark on the speedo telling you what gear to be in. So you kinda shift around the marker. So easy.

There is -- jabber and jingle. And for a ver-ry brief few weeks, Google's jabber/jingle worked openly with Facebook's, and everyone could message each other. And then BOTH arbitrarily broke it with some sparkle-junkie resume-bait software 'up'grade and neither worked with anything else after that.

It was glorious.

"explained" seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting.

You papered something, but I didn't see an explanation per se.

Try again? Start by pointing to where the Dems started their insurrection, so I can compare.

When in office, you at least have the stress of many loud people around to distract you from that.

You hear yourself and you can spot the issue, right?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?
