@richlucking @owenblacker @anandamide I was wondering that, I got an email from them about verification but I've not had an account on there for at least a year.

@owenblacker @anandamide wait, that still exists?!

@anandamide this this this

@lukito This all rings very familiar, have had very similar thoughts on all 3 over the past few years.

@Kilometer780 Blimey, I hope they're not in a safety critical role...

@af And that's how we got the DLR :)

@anandamide @af That wasn't what they meant by "giving you the cold shoulder"

@af Rubber in this weather sounds... unpleasant.

Been attempting to play BluRays on my Mac via VLC, and am at the point of giving up. Have followed the generally-available instructions online and VLC is still sulking that it doesn't know how to handle AACS stuff.

@kanec It reminds me a lot of Windows Vista.

@Kilometer780 Based on the way we handle translations at work, we don't translate brand names (which would include operator names - and in this case is probably best as they'll be using them to identify the right train).

@billgoats Reminds me of those old "iPhone adaptor for cars that don't have bluetooth" things where it was actually an FM transmitter that you had to tune the radio into.

@billgoats I thought it was just a status.

@af That's reminded me that I've still got one sat in the loft to get rid of. Dead PSU so definitely doesn't boot.

@billgoats So long as they get good grades and don't bite the other kids, they'll be fine.

@billgoats Especially when you look back at how fucking obvious it must have been at the time.

I used to catalogue lamp posts and had an obsession with fire extinguishers, ffs.

There's something really fucking terrifying about reading a company's description of their products as "AI powered military defence" - have they learnt nothing from the Terminator films?

@billgoats Ah crap.

@billgoats I hope you have noise-cancelling headphones.

@kanec Cheese has always been the sticking point for me - I tried every single plant-based one the local supermarkets could supply and they were all dreadful. It's sort of surprising given how good things like the plant-based yogurts are, but I suppose there's not actually much similarity between them.

(I'm not vegan, just have some dairy intolerances, so have been keen to find good alternatives)
