@noelle HAPPY BIRFDAY! 🎉

thing I've picked up on from the few USAian crafting videos I've seen, it's always brand names that are mentioned

like, "oh, use some mod podge", or "put your elmer's glue here", or "use some JB weld to fill that"

it's weird to me as someone whose first exposure to crafting tutorials was via the ruthlessly brand agnostic BBC

also the wide range of atrocities of the empire is definitely something to be at least embarrassed about but that's not actually the reason behind this one

the BBC is dropping the lyrics to "rule britannia" at the last night of the proms

the right is yelling about it being because the song sounds colonial as fuck and that people "shouldn't be ashamed of our glorious history of empire" and "the left just don't want us to have this"

the actual reason it's being dropped is the fact that a dozen people singing it in an otherwise empty albert hall will sound at best depressing, at worst just shit

"Maybe the real treasure is the friends we made along the way"

"shut it, Frankenstein"

CAN WE FIX IT?

hmm... we're going to have to order in some parts, the branded ones aren't cheap, might be able to get it back to you in a week?

me, an hour ago: hm... I should look into server monitoring stuff

"so, you've got grafana for dashboards but that needs to talk to prometheus or loki or munin or something else and that talks to something or another and then there's a query language that's different for each thing and you have your data sources..."

me: I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF MACHINE THAT GOES BRRR IS STILL GOING BRRR

EA JORTS

"you can't just tell the time by counting things!"

"haha caesium atom go brrrrr"

I have been informed that King Shark is in the "The Suicide Squad" movie and I am hoping for good shark content

MORTAL WOMBAT!

Still loving that the Egyptian god of wisdom, Thoth's name in Ancient Greek is Θώθ

making "Θώθ what's this?" a legitimate question

He also ended up half naked and painted on the world clock in Alexanderplatz in another incredibly 90's usage of CGI
