An INDIGNANT email from a PR person, after I linked to a live story on a client’s website. “This story isn’t live! It’s going to be published on Friday! Take it down!”
Have calmly told them that a) the client published it; b) I can’t take 32,000 emails back; c) I’m in bed and not getting out.

@chartier how much I detest Tesla, that is actually not true. The danger is the self driving, but the car is among the safest for other users of the public domain. The study only looked at fatality for the ppl in the car, not the ppl in other cars. Quite obvious being run over by one of those small weener tanks is lethal, and that's counted as a fatal crash for the little car. Quite ridiculous study to be fair

@beasom Wow that sounds like you got a great deal! Yeah I only have my L10 CS on rare occasions. It's really special. The Lagavulin 16 review is coming up next...spoiler: I love that one too :)
@dave Having retired my Raspiblitz, what's your current recommendation for the easiest to maintain, self-hosted Lightning Node? Are you still using Umbrel or Start9?

I just sneezed six or seven times in a row, large sneezes. I’m afraid to get up. I probably pulled a muscle.

@losttourist The earth is round, and so *technically* they can be in opposite directions, as long as the number of miles is correct on the board.
So pedantically, they're not pointing in the wrong direction. It's just that the Silicon Valley one should say 11,081 miles (in that direction).
I should get on with my work really.
