Did you know there is an industry-standard mounting system for strap-on dildos? Just saying.

TIL there are colour-coded helmets on worksites. Makes sense, I suppose. If you need a first aider or something it's probably easier to look for a particular colour helmet than just Jim.

Definitely the Moog. I'm not into music, but it's an unlimited source of electricity; just open the case and find the power rails.

Right-Wing Government: why not both?

I have a General Post Office model 711 telephone. I installed a microcontroller into it and it's now the keypad for my home alarm system. It's also hooked into Home Assistant so I could have it for other things if I wanted.

None of my plates survived the washing machine. Fucking IKEA.

Extra point if they have the PowerPoint shuttle controls visible in the bottom-left corner.

Imagine having to manually adjust your tint setting. NTSC, man. Literally shaking in my SMH.

My counter is always, "and there are people better off than you, so stop being happy."

Yeah. Story time:

In the England we have ancient rights-of-way laws but a lot of private landowners try to block footpaths that cross their land. If a landowner can argue a footpath hasn't been used in (I think) two years they can have it removed, but in 2025 all the existing footpaths will be made permanent and indelible except with explicit local government permission so between now and then a lot of landowners will be rushing to get paths removed.

I've made a point of walking every footpath in my area and making sure they're all documented on OSM. If any of the landowners try to get a path removed I have my GPS tracks as proof of use.

Edit: FWIW, I find OSM to be the best map for rambling. Google and Apple don't come close and OSM even gives Ordinance Survey a run for it's money.
