Really boring traits that I’m increasingly valuing highly in both myself and others:
– Strong curiosity that doesn’t want mysteries unsolved
– The ability and desire to share knowledge, not hoard it
– The desire to write stuff down because you know you will forget it and others might want to know it
– The ability and patience to write clear and detailed instructions
This is cool. We should make some of our own tools:
On the upside: I know have a fancy grey saloon car.
On the downside: So does everyone else!! 😬
Putting all of the “late June" end-of-school-year activities in my calendar.
Why is so much of the “fun" stuff at school about public performance and being overly-sociable?
– Residential trips
– Theatrical productions
– "Sports" Day
Where is "Sitting in a quiet room and doing cool nerdy shit on your own day”?
Buying this thing has been a mental sprint. I went from “Oh heck, this old car is on its last legs” about two weeks ago to owning today and I’m exhausted with all the research and decision making. Mostly I’m glad it’s done and I don’t have to think about it any more.
Well. We have an EV. It’s the most expensive thing I’ve ever owned apart from my house (for reference, previous car cost about £7,000 in 2012).
It’s AMAZING!! I’m super happy. We need to do a long drive to properly test it, but I did 50 miles today in a mix of environments (urban, hilly rural and motorway) with A/C on most of the way and it still had 78%.
I’ll forget how to drive (cos of auto + all the whizzy assists) and there are so many gadgets that could go wrong. But we made a good buy. 😃
Oh my. My wife gave me this for my birthday. Does she want to spend less time with me for some reason? 😂❤️😘
Eek! Tomorrow I become an electric vehicle owner!!! 😬😃🙌
My son did me a No Man’s Sky illustration in my birthday card and I love it!!
This morning I come downstairs to find my kid is watching a cartoon where…
THEY’RE WEARING AN APPLE VISION PRO!!!
😱
Was quite proud of ourselves this morning listening to a TV news segment about the decline of flying insects while looking out over our lawn/meadow. Loads of starlings and sparrows pecking at the ground and buzzing around the trees. Bees enjoying the wildflowers on the deck. I’m even accepting of the ants nests these days.
No plastic here. Just nature at work.
I’m having real fun looking at EVs. Nearly went for a Renault Zoe. When I pushed a bit harder it turns out the one I was interested in had a failed charging unit. I now don’t believe the story I was told about it’s history. And zero-star NCAP rating + failing charge circuits = NO THANKS RENAULT!!!
Looking at some Hyundais and MGs on Friday. They’re older to fit in our budget but look like much better cars.
I just realised what the Apple iVision wotsit thingamy goggles reminds me of…
(For those old enough to remember)
Holy moly! Did @briancoords actually say this on his podcast/YouTube?
“… my favourite third party tool for WordPress is Turbo Admin”
I’m…
…speechless! Thank you, Brian. I’m so glad you like it.
