Has anyone ordered a Starbucks and given their name as “Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name”?

Just to confirm that I’ve finally worked this out: a love triangle isn’t actually a triangle, it’s a V, right?
Watching episode 4 of Game of Thrones Season 8 made me realise something. I don’t actually care how this story ends 🤷🏻♂️
I rebuild my Raspberry Pi from scratch recently. It’s running well, except the file server I have on it is so slow now. The only change I made was swapping an SSD in a USB casing for a thumb drive. I didn’t think it’d make a difference. Time to test plugging the old drive in.
Here’s why moderate drinking is probably not good for you.
I drink a beer (1-2 standard drinks, depends on the ABV), 3 nights a week. I don’t know if that classifies as moderate or not, but I love my craft beer. Everything you do is a risk. May as well enjoy life a little.
I love the Clear Todo App, but it hasn’t been updated in 3 years, and today its iCloud syncing seems to have broken. Any recommendations for a ToDo app that works across iOS, macOS and allows sharing between family members?
Emacs, Vi, and the Linux command line are just not capable when it comes to using emoji. “Why would you use emoji on the CLI you freak?” ask the enraged neck beards. Because I’m human and colours and icons make things easy to distinguish.

I have programmed in many languages. I like Swift. I stumbled my way through Objective-C. Perl was great while I retained its syntax in my head. Javascript is… Javascript. But Python. Python is probably my favourite. It’s so strict on its form, and so powerful in its function.
This is incredible. Solar eclipses on Mars, including an animation of the shadow of Phobos racing across the landscape!
Every city should do this.
Amsterdam to ban petrol and diesel cars and motorbikes by 2030
2019-05-04 be with you.
The New Zealand road toll now stands at 140. 140 people. If cars were anything else they’d have been banned by now.
Awerrrrrrrraaaa!
So sad to see Guyon Espiner leave Morning Report. Looking forward to what his new investigative role produces, and to see how his replacement, Corin Dann, keeps the politicians on their toes. Just hope he’s as passionate about Birds as Espiner is.
This morning’s Wellington morning shot from @polhillnz on Twitter.
I hope, above hopes, that when iOS 13 comes out, it’ll allow placement of app icons anywhere on the screen, without the silly top-left down model that’s been around since 2007. iPhones are so gigantic now that the top left is the most unreachable point.
Science Fiction isn’t about spaceships flying around going pew pew with lasers. It’s about exploring ways in which humans will behave in wild, fanciful situations and with and against incredible technological advances.
So I go these yesterday. And they’re bordering on magic. I know they’ll only last as long as any other bluetooth headphones, but I still think they’re worth the gigantic premium.
Just got my flu vaccine, because science.
I fixed my beloved Sony MDR-10RBTs. I initially bought them for an absolute bargain, and now they’ll live on! Fixing things feels great.

A lot of sugar free food is bordering on a scam.
I’m watching Episode 3 of Game of Thrones’ final season. Did they film this episode using lighting from a single phone flash? Because there’s a lot of sounds and silhouettes. Unfortunately I can’t see in infrared or ultraviolet, so I guess I’ll just imagine what’s happening.
Well, I’ll never be able to watch Star Wars again without a full, live orchestra playing the score. Empire Strikes Back in Concert was outstanding.
