I thought the speedometer on my bike was broken. Missing the wheel going by the sensor a third to a half of the time… But turns out somehow my speedo had switched from km/h to miles/h. Back to sensible speeds being displayed.

A thrilling match only seconded by the last World Cup final. No shame in this one for the Black Caps. A single extra boundary would have done it.
In the most kiwi accent: “And to talk about the Rugby World Cup final, we’re now joined by Rodney Southland, our sports reporter in Paris.” “Wee! Bone swar, everyone. It’s shaping up…”
Pōneke people: that heavy cold rain and hail that’s being predicted? My scouts with a view south confirm it’s on its way. Hold on to your butts.
Nothing sweeter than closing support tickets because the people who lodged them haven’t bothered to get back to you. Can’t be that big an issue! Qapla,!
Lots of buildings swaying in the wind today. Rocking back and forth at my desk. Wonder what it’s like at the top of the building, 10 floors up.
At the risk of causing an international incident: tell me what you call this object and which country you’re from.
Once these augmented glasses become affordable and fast, I know what I’ll be doing. I’ll put a set on and line up some TV to watch. I’ll lie down on the couch and instantly go to sleep.
I’ve put on my shorts and jandals. Do I dare to dream?
Very high UV index today. There’s going to be a lot of sunburnt people back at work tomorrow.
I implore New Zealand’s media to, please, not attempt casual French while the World Cup is on in France. I’m very forgiving of pronunciation because it’s a difficult accent and language. But good lord. “meersee boo-koo”.
Wikipedia is worth donating to if you use it. But really, companies like Apple, Microsoft and google, who use the site as a reference for their searches, should be pumping whatever meagre amounts of money Wikipedia needs to keep functioning, into the foundation.
Tom Cardy - Repress it!
One downside of switching off Twitter and using Micro.blog/Mastodon/Bluesky is there’s no easy way to upload videos of terrible drivers on my commute. I have one from today where someone overtook me while I was going down the Brooklyn hill at the speed limit. Insane.
Over the last month I’ve come to find John Gruber of Daring Fireball to be absolutely insufferable. So that’s two sites (along with Twitter), that I’ve be on for the better part of 20 years and which I’ve moved on from in the last couple of weeks.
Putting thumb tacks in cycle lanes won’t stop people cycling, nor will it make the cycle lanes go away. All you’re doing is pissing people off. And if you ever get caught doing it… man you’ll be so internet famous.
I’m considering upgrading my beloved iPhone 12 mini. My thought is if I have to get a bigger phone, I may as well get a much bigger phone and get a 15 plus. Has anyone else done this insane swap out? Any regerts?
Crazy to think the iPhone used to come in one colour and 3 storage sizes, so 3 SKUs. Now it comes in 2 major bands (pro and not), 2 physical sizes in each band, with a range of colours in each and storage sizes. So 62 SKUs just for the 15. Insane logistics.
I was thinking this was bound to be overturned just yesterday. The cruelty is the point.
Ban on live animal exports likely to be overturned by new government
Why did they call it high school when juniorversity was right there?
“Just look through bash history for reference” - no! Write some documentation. I don’t want to guess about running shit in production!
As a bike commuter, this is going to be dangerous. More reason to make physically separated bike lanes a priority.
There’s a tab inside this tab, which is in a tab. It’s full on tab-ception in here. Too many tabs on the dance floor.
My new life hack. On the right, hand soap. On the left, a larger pump hand soap container I’ve filled with dish liquid. I can wash my hands, or with a single pump, end up with a sink ready for washing dishes.
