Look what top lad @MarkRJones1970 sent me. The first three games I wrote for the Spectrum! Takes me back to sitting on the edge of the bed squinting at code on the TV. Good times 😀

There is a bit of land round the back of my pool I’m thinking of clearing to make room for panels. I hadn’t realized there’s a fallen tree there. A 30? ft palm tree. Fell over last year during Hurricane Melissa?

I should hold a tree census. Not sure what qualifies as a tree. E.g I cut down what looked like a tree but up close it seemed like a half dozen different branches of a bush. A 12ft high bush

Lost wifi and the printer started making noises. I stuck a blank piece of paper in the feed and it started printing my 2025 tax return 😂
Just got through with my 2025 taxes and my HP printer wouldn’t print it. Booted the HP smart app and there’s plenty of ink but there’s a problem with my account?!? Wtf do i need an account for anyway?

Also wtf is it with printers that they NEVER FORGET anything sent to their queue. 3 months from now, I’ll want to print something and I’ll have to wait while it prints the other 13 pages of my 1040. There should be a timeout

Maybe thats what i have to do. Turn off the internet, before I print anything. Claude said my printer had European model number - even though i bought it off US Amazon. Why it starts giving me problems now after 3 years🤷‍♂️

Other option is just buy a Brother. I wasted an hour yesterday on this and ended up printing my 1040 at a store

Listening to the BBC report about Russel Brand, they do a good job of making him sound like a creep, but nothing about him forcing women to have sex against their will.

First reaction is its an assault on Free Speech. But reading the story carefully, nobody banned her books or said she’d be arrested if she visited Britain. She’s trying to make herself Salman Rushdie without having to live his life bbc.com/news/articles/cmx23q…

Hull lost £100m because they were relegated twice? So City would have been relegated instead of them, both of those years? Complete bollocks

Our pool has a concrete lip around the side. It needs repainting all over but there are parts where the water pools after rain. The paint is completely gone there. I spent a couple of hours trying to build up those areas with some mortar - about 3-4 mm

Good chance I wasted my time. I can think of multiple failure modes 😀

IF underline if, they do relegate City, it’s good news for the newly promoted sides. They only need to beat 2 teams to stay up 🙏

Long heart to heart talks tonight with both my 15yo son and my partner. Unrelated issues. Didn’t enjoy either but feel better for it now💁

People who get addicted to gambling start abusing stimulants, getting on drugs, reporting that they're depressed and anxious, flipping out on their families... It is an evil affliction and we're normalizing it right now. Source: epicresearch.org/articles/pa…

Ian Wright was English, but John Barnes wasn’t. His dad was a Jamaican diplomat and he only stayed because football looked more promising here. He was always a bit disappointing for England - compared to Liverpool. Though tbf the whole team was disappointing 😂
