The Mastodon instance I'm on has blocked all known Meta IPs as a preventative measure. So I imagine some admins will federate and some won't, and users will be free to join the instance that they wish to.
My old neighbour tells me that the person who moved into our previous house has been known to chase neighbours down the street to insist they come in for a cup of tea. So I think there is a line here where it can become socially awkward.
Not sure I remember this one from the highway code. Beware of person peeking though letterbox?
Always have a soft spot for Genesis. I remember watching the repeat showing in the 1980s and being stunned when my Dad told me that "Ronson" was his art teacher at high school.
Spearhead from Space was one of the first stories I bought on VHS and I watched it so many times, so that's a definite favourite too. Oh, and Ark in Space.
Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.
"80% of all those who suffer from tinnitus have a form known as “somatic tinnitus,” characterized by the ability to alter the pitch of the ringing in one’s ears by clenching the jaw or applying pressure to the forehead."
Woah. I thought everyone could do this. I didn't appreciate that it was releated to my tinnitus. That's wild.
Doesn't work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.
Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!
Tapeworm Disco Puzzle for the NES by Lowtek Games. Got this at Play Expo today in Glasgow, Scotland.
Can't beat a bit of Marble Madness. I believe it's in Braehead Arena which is used for Ice Hockey, so hopefully it has a beast of an AC system!
We live in Edinburgh, where the schools finish at lunchtime, so I have about 3.5 hours of freedom.
And this weekend we're going through to the Play Expo retro games thingy in Glasgow tomorrow! Last one was in 2019, so looking forward to that.
I blame CSI and Law and Order. I think they oversaturated us with "of the week" procedurals drama so collectively we all jumped ship to these shorter, high concept shows.
I remember when I was a kid we moved from Newcastle to Scotland and I swear it took my Mum years to get used to saying rolls instead of buns. I wonder how many iced buns she had to go through before getting it right.
Only read posts. I don't want to necessarily hide read posts. If it's interesting I want to keep coming back to it. Also if it's a junk, offensive, triggering, spammy repost I don't want to have to "read" it to make it go away.
