In order to help reduce emissions the Highway to Hell was replaced by a railway

It ran fine for a while until it was privatised and bought by GWR

Now, due to the wrong type of leaves on the track, you will have to make do with the rail-replacement bus service to Hell

oh hey, that new printer I got has a fax machine built in

Might have to connect it up and do fax things

no, wait, THIS IS MY MECH

asda is a lot more expensive for food than I remember from last time I was in one

There's a thing I should write about Octodad: Dadliest Catch as an extended metaphor for my experience of having Asperger Syndrome

- Different processes for doing things
- Manages to do all the stuff the standard humans can do, but with a bit of weirdness
- Covering it up so that nobody suspects a thing

Oh hey, dunning-krugerrands have just hit a low of $8000

DROP DROP DROP

This is the Seiko UC-2000 shown with the Seiko UC-2200 terminal

The UC-2000 is a watch, it shows the time, lives on your wrist

But most importantly, it could be combined with the UC-2200 terminal to make a reasonably well featured personal computer

The watch face served as the screen of the whole system which also had a spool-fed printer, 4K of RAM and 26K of ROM on a removable cartridge

You could make your own applications for it in BASIC

A giant dungeon full of lovely creatures and monsters you can hug

it's more accurate but it doesn't scan 🎶

I should probably switch titles to something more gender-neutral and representative of me, but octo-parent just doesn't have the same ring to it

I are dumb, that's why I was using the supposedly super simple ansible script

It'd be lovely if strongswan had some nice, organised documentation available on how to configure it so idiots like me didn't have to spend hours trying to find the right invocations to put in the damn config files

I think @vantablack might be able to fit into their old jeans again

"Here's this super cool ansible script to set up an ipsec vpn!"

Hidden in a github issue somewhere

"Oh, by the way, it sets up a version of the OS that doesn't play nice with ipsec vpns for no readily apparent reason, you'll want to change that"

What if: MiniMaplebots

Like, 4 inches tall and live in a little house on your desk
