Indeedy. Hitler didn’t want to destroy the country, didn’t defund scientific research, had advisors who knew what they were doing, didn’t sell state secrets to the USSR, didn’t want to destroy nature… I can’t believe I’m defending Hitler.

I love that Romania declared its elections invalid because the winner had obviously been put there by Russia. Which is exactly what the US and the Netherlands should have done.

We’re not. Too warm. Winter was also too warm.

We have blossoms. They’re 3 weeks too early. Even during a “hot” year the high season for blossoms was around 7 April. We will probably have a frost in April that will kill off the fruit.

I’m in favour of the Mussolini treatment, myself.

First thing I do as a proofreader is change all m-dashes to n-dashes.

I love OSMand. It does exactly what a map should do. It doesn’t have these weird user unfriendly quirks that Here and Google Maps have that make them harder to use.

I just have one problem with it, it gives some directions via notifications instead of voice, for some reason, which is baaaad when you’re driving.

I quit after y2k. I worked nights for months and after it was over, my baby threw up on me one morning, I was 10 minutes late because I had to change, and my boss literally screamed at me.

And now people are saying climate change is like the Y2K bug and “it will fix itself” 🙄

Gates and Saunders could fund them. Maybe they’re not as liberal as people think, eh.

Nah. It fell apart when Pratchett died.

Our Edeka has a system like that too.

I have to descale my kettle twice a week. It’s so fucking bad.

That or people who don’t live in the US. So, most people.

In China being gay and having gay relationships has been legal since 1997. They also have their own version of "gay marriage’. Sadly adoption is not allowed.

Trans people are only recognised post op.

It’s not fantastic but it has improved a lot.

Does it also fix the post exertional malaise and constant exhaustion? POTS? Neuropathy? Chronic myocarditis? The other 200 symptoms?

Tbh, the sense of smell and taste is a minor problem for people with long covid.

Thanks!

Ooh, tell me more.

High beams and fog lights on a beautiful sunlit day.

The earth will be too hot to live on in less than 50 years, so yeah… Mr. Optimist indeed.
