@Jo Ah, this is going to be one of those films that could have ended far sooner if anyone made one right decision isn't it?
Bautista: "ere lads, bunch of people about who want to keep you as hostages"
West Ham fans: "fuck that"
Hostage takers: "fuuuuuuuuuck"
@Jo I'd feel really sorry for anyone who held a bunch of West Ham fans for ransom
They're not getting out of that with all their teeth that's for sure
@maple I haven't met your second niece, nice to see she's making her way to the fediverse
I've been wondering, all these products sold with big "Proudly made in <country you live in>" labels, does anyone else avoid those as much as possible?
I know what the average Brit is like and fuck off do I expect them to make anything that actually works
@derJeff@mastodon.social yep, those ones, a fair few wristwatches also use the same system
@derJeff@mastodon.social anything with the words "Radio controlled atomic time" or words to that effect
@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social 🎶 mr. oizo
@WammKD my thinking is:
"easy to use phone payment app" = good
"adding a social network component to that" = wait what?
@gemlog anything that says "Radio controlled atomic time" or any similar phrase on it uses that system, there's an awful lot of them about
drug joke
@Nine there's a new trend in yorkshire of people taking mdma by rubbing it just above their teeth
They're calling it "E by gum"
@gemlog kinda hard to do that with a wristwatch
Trust me, I've tried to cram an ethernet cable into one but it just doesn't work
Also hardly anyone wants to cram a TCP/IP stack into a wall clock
@soft_chomps@glitch.social yeah, apparently
@vantablack ...drug dealers... love it?
Great, a long history of illegal transactions you've made, just what you want to have available
I have just discovered what a "venmo" is
A way to pay people combined with a... social network?
What the fuck is wrong with silicon valley
NIST runs three radio stations, WWV, WWVH, and WWVB
You've probably not heard of them, but you could well have used them before
They broadcast a time signal to the vast majority of North America, this time signal allows clocks, watches, and all kinds of other things to synchronise with an accurate time
Due to budget cuts they're planning to shut these down in 2019, meaning anything that uses the system won't be getting an accurate time any more and will need to be set manually
Which sucks
alcohol
"British women now among top drinkers in world and no difference in amount men and women consume, study finds"
WOO! WE WIN!
I think somebody who's a far better writer than I should put together a collection of fediverse lore
Like the hiveway saga, and william shatner not being able to find you here
Preferably in an old norse poetry style
@noelle HAPPY BIRFDAY!
