@d654a3ab Did you spot any leopards though? 

 @af279435 @ac91e25a lp0 on fire was far better though. 

 @af279435 @ac91e25a caveat: I know what the PC Load Letter message was about. Absolute PITA. 

 @af279435 @ac91e25a Eh, what was that? 

 @ac91e25a Joke's on them, I don't even drive. But wait until I connect my cow-orker's scope to a secret ethernet network and start sending him messages. 

 @af279435 @9d919366 Can I go for the "next heard of awk" thing? 

 @af279435 Fuck offf. 

 @9d919366 I merely suggested awk may be better for just getting the second word of an output than writing python to eval and process everything.

You'd have thought I'd have suggested shitting in his grannie's slippers. 

 @f3ad697a Perhaps so, but my point still stands. 

 @ac91e25a @29d67b21 Then how would the cats get in for scritches? 

 @ac91e25a @29d67b21 To be fair, to save the wiring I was just going to paint a bulb fluorescent red and mount it. 

 @c3e4f7fd It's not so much in the way that politics is polarised at the moment, most things are 50/50ish (Ok, 52/48). I have never seen a backlash like this in the entire time I've been interested in Welsh politics.

What worries me though is it appears to be coordinated by the usual suspects and some others I haven't identified yet.

I also know four people personally just this week who have had their FB accounts hacked to post anti-20mph stuff. Someone is deliberately causing havoc. 

 @c3e4f7fd Too late for that. The spite and vitriol coming out of most alleged adults is insane. 

 @c3e4f7fd Originally I was all for it... until last Sunday when I actually had to sit through it going down a main road, down a big hill as a passenger. I now think your suggestion of the Oxford model would be a better approach.

Councils can choose to make some roads 30mph but in our case they haven't. 

 @ec36a502 Ok Pinocchio. 

 i should point out this isn't by negotiation or any other horrible shit. I negotiated a situation that works for us all. I feel sorry for the person that has to go to Crewe but that's life. 

 @fa13b985 Hah! I don't need to run for shakey hands, they're a permanent fixture. 

 @438f0a8f I disagree. And so does my pet Czechoslovakian traffic warden. 

 @f9ef0568 I don't know whether to file this one under "Enshitification" or "Late stage capitalism". Or both. 

 Thankfully managed to avoid BHM on the way back. A more leisurely change at Wolverhampton was in order. There may have been Bathams and a cob by which I mean there was definitely Bathams and a cob. 

 @2c4c42ba Quite glad I managed to miss that one and got an earlier train. 

 @ad50239d Burn it with fire. 

 @6f552695 Erm... good luck. 

 @ad50239d My dad asked me to look at his printer while I was visiting earlier. I took one look at it and said "It's an HP, I'm not touching that. Go buy a laser printer". 

 Thankfully the rail staff are far more intelligent than an app and none of them have even batted an eyelid when I told them what I've done. 

 @ec36a502 I'm old enough to remember when it was United Artists. Had a lovely tour around their headend once. 

 @4381847c @77157f78 Shame they're not flexible, that would be perfect for something I'm planning on making for next year's EMFCamp. 

 Absolute grueler of a journey, not a single train was in time. And it was through Birmingham New Street which automatically ruins every journey. 

 @ec36a502 None, Shrewsbury isn't electrified. 

 @6f552695 Transport for Wales, but I prefer your version. 

 In a rare bit of joined up thinking they've actually held the Birmingham train for us at Shrewsbury. 

 @af279435 I meant Saturday night but never mind. As I'm a soft arse I'm cooking it now for them. My big pan is full. 

 @1056510e I've done it before online but it's not quite the same. I once had 128 faggots delivered to my old local pub because everyone wanted to try them. Great night. 

 @4793303f That's essentially the holiday entitlement we have in the UK. 

 @fac723a6 In my job they could probably modulate the RF generator to reach me. Too bad that I don't do CW. 

 @ec36a502 To be fair, our place is very much give and take. They don't take the piss. I did the thing as it was easy and I was sitting there. I'll get that back at some point when I want to fuck off early. 

 @4793303f I have a day off coming out of my annual holiday allowance. I realise this may be an alien concept to Americans. I take this day off every year. 

 @ec36a502 @a79223b6 I wouldn't need to ask,  I already know ;-) 

 @ec36a502 @a79223b6 There's also the "Oi mate while you're up there can you stick this up - I'll give you £50" thing. 

 Well now...

Yep. I get my way. 

 Let's make murder illegal. That should stop it. 

 @f3ad697a A DE-15 that isn't a video output on a camera seems like an interesting design decision.
