If you're wondering why my LinkedIn profile says "flooring inspector" is because of a long-running joke. You see, once or twice a week I get calls on my *personal* mobile number from sketchy "IT security" companies peddling their products to anyone with "IT" and "Director" in the title. I'm 100% convinced that they are working from some stolen and resold sources, because I never use my personal mobile line for business (I have a Google Voice US number that I always put into any work-related forms).
For a few years now I've been trying to convince these callers that they have reached the wrong person and that I'm actually with "Lennox Foundation Repair." Yes, I do IT because I'm in charge of the laptop used to inspect the subfloors with a camera.
I know this is petty, but it brings me 2 minutes of schadenfreude joy as I hear the poor sod on the other end of the line get progressively more and more confused.
(Bonus points if you get the "I'm a flooring inspector" reference.)

I know you're curious, but "toilet paper roll under seat" is just a clickbait article. Its a "life hack" but not for you -- it's for people who want you to click on junky ads.
(That said, if you go into a public bathroom and find a toilet paper roll under the seat like that, it probably means that there is no toilet paper in that stall. It's a fact that you really want to know ahead of time, so give proper mental thanks to the thoughtful person who set that up.)

I had to verify it, but it's indeed a random ad that just happens to be a poignant commentary.

Initial implementation. The goal was to show a quick summary without outputting a wall of obtuse text.

@ariadne it's not my department, but I'll see what I can do about the "hobbyist" part.

My kid: "Why is English so messed up?"
Me: "Because it's actually an Atlantic islander pidgin, first influenced by Germanic and then French-speaking colonists."

randahl@mastodon.socialMore than 100 missiles and drones sent by Hezbollah and Iran are hammering down on Israel tonight.
Imagine how different our world would have been, if the US and the EU had stopped Russia in Ukraine in 2022.
We showed weakness, and now every insane dictator wants to rule the world.
This is not the way.

Once you learn about trypophobia, you can't unsee things.
Looking at you, most high-end smartphones with 4+ lenses.

randahl@mastodon.socialThis is where we are:
Picture 1: Ukraine is burning because of the lack of air defence deliveries.
Picture 2: Mike Johnson has not found room to schedule a vote on Ukraine aid, but has instead scheduled a vote on preventing the US government from requiring household dishwashers to use less energy.

At least my proctologist doesn't send me "enjoy your colonoscopy" emails.
