Quoth that upjumped security guard a while back: "These people are not cop friendly"
"Mastodon suspends Assam Police instance; says cops not welcome"
It's actually "account" rather than "instance" and "mastodon.social" not "mastodon" but lol
A TV show where a small pink blob makes various social faux pas and is generally a bit of a dick
or; kirby your enthusiasm
"Public Universal Friend" is just such an incredibly awesome name

It's about that time of year when people start wondering things like "hey, why isn't DECEMber the tenth month of the year?"
So it's time for my little lecture on Romans, calendars, and our friend Gaius Julius Caesar.
I'll be posting it as a tootchain replying to this one, but if you're impatient, here's the whole thing: https://gist.github.com/joyeusenoelle/3754e00a37fe81aa43aad3eb9543f3ce
So: “Why isn’t the new year on winter solstice?”
The answer, honestly, is that the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar.

@troubleMoney it wasn't even called mining back then, but "grinding", hence the little handle on top
The Curta calculator was invented by Curt Herzstark in the 1940's, it's a fully mechanical little maths machine
They used them to mine bitcoin before computers were invented
We haven't seen any hedgehogs for the past few days so I think they're all cozied up in their little houses for hibernation
either that or they're just napping through the little cold/wet bit of weather we're having
Well, apparently it's now officially close to christmas, John Lewis have released their christmas advert
