I’ve had influenza once or twice in my life. The actual flu. It is not a heavy cold. You feel like you’re dying for a full week. Shakes, cold sweats, vomiting, fever. If Coronavirus is like influenza, you may be in for a rough ride if/when you catch it.
If you need a little tune to hum to make sure you’re washing your hands for long enough, the first verse and chorus of the Beastie Boys’ Fight For Your Right is about 30 seconds long.
🖖🏼 I do love my Next Generation era Star Trek. But the “consoles” they use don’t seem to have any discernible output or input other than pushing random buttons to make beeping sounds. At least in Picard the consoles have, you know, floating displays with words and pictures on them.
This is remarkably calming to watch. Satisfaction: Mug - YouTube.
The first, hopefully, of many. Luxembourg is first country to make all public transport free
For Kiwis needing some discount computer equipment and tech, there’s a fire sale at PBTech due to their expo being cancelled due to Convid-19.
The real potential of the electric vehicle revolution. In short, electric cars would be an improvement, but they’ll still require massive amounts of space that could be used much more effectively.
I’ve started watching Star Trek Voyager from season 4, as it feels about the time I may have stopped watching. I just watched the episode Year of Hell. What a fantastic episode (it was a 2-parter)!
The iOS dictionary is as thick as a brick when in the Twitter compose box. I write exaserbated, meaning to write exacerbated, and it acts like it doesn’t even speak a human language. In a compliant text entry like any micro blog client? No issues.
On the left: a beer brewed by Behemoth that the head brewer vowed to brew until Trump was impeached, the Im-peach-ment sour ale.
One the right: the beer brewed now Trump has been impeached, the Finally Im-peach-ed sour ale.
Both are *chef’s kiss*
After learning French for coming up to three years, I feel I have to regretfully inform New Zealanders everywhere that yoplait is not, in fact, “french for yoghurt”.
“I regret to inform you, you only have 2 months to live.”
“Oh my god, I’ve wasted my life. I wish I’d spent more time on Twitter.”
🏏 A comprehensive 10 wicket victory by the Black Caps (their 100th win). India have a real issue playing on green pitches. Bring on Hagley Park on Saturday!

I watched the first episode of The Man in the High Castle last night. I don’t know if I need a nazi fantasy in my life. I’m conflicted about watching any more. Much like I’ve avoided The Handmaid’s Tale.
Companies need to stop trying to turn their products or services into a community. If it’s appropriate for a community to form, it’ll happen. That’s how humans work. If there’s no community, you can’t force it.
These are an abomination. And I love them.

“Hmmm, I should buy an ebike. Because it’ll let me get places as quick as a car and quicker than public transport”
– searches online for ebikes –
– a billion results come back, all bewildering –
“How much does public transport cost again?”
And voici ça. Giant text.
Getting my eues checked, which involves drops which dilate my pupils, making reading normal sized text unreadable. While I’m waiting for them to kick in, I can activate iOS accessibility features on. This is why accessibility matters for everyone.
I am a good bitch.
It’s been over 30°C for the last few days, and extremely humid too. I wish the weather would have some manners and just rain a bit.
Oh no. I’ve finished the last season of The Expanse and I have to wait a week until there’s a new episode of Picard. What am I to do? Watch the three seasons of Voyager I never got around to!?
Someone convince me that this is a really dumb eBike to buy for commuting.
