@captain_mrs Even numbers are clearly much sharper than odd ones. I am baffled that people might consider otherwise.

[Adam Dinwoodie @me_ander]

@captain_mrs But but but how do I calibrate? What is the correct amount of thing, if not all of the thing? How can I go as hard as I possibly can at doing the thing in moderation!?

[Adam Dinwoodie @me_ander]

@captain_mrs FWIW both the Android Mastodon apps I use support multiple accounts, and if your accounts are on different Mastodon servers, you'll get completely separate web interfaces for each one, too.

Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself.

@ethomson @1Password Surprised to see so few recommendations for KeePass/KeePassXC. Combined with OneDrive (or your preferred other cloud storage provider) it has all the features I've ever needed without being tied to any particular system or infrastructure.

@captain_mrs Eggs cooked beyond the absolute bare minimum are the wrong texture. Which means I can play the autism card and this is ablism.

[Adam Dinwoodie @me_ander]

@captain_mrs I definitely remember hearing an anecdote about a kid with autism-aware parents, whose psych said they believed the kid was autistic, but kid didn't yet meet the diagnostic criteria because they were insufficiently traumatised, so they should come back after a few years of school

Tech nerd problems: spend an hour trying to identify the unexpected device my router says is connected to my Wi-Fi. Turns out it was my watch.

Unusual balance transfer security checks:
Q:Have you received any suspicious messages or calls about this transfer?
A:Yes! You sent me a text message, which you've now confirmed as legit, but which asked me to contact you using a number that isn't on your website!

@thegabecole "we can't wear masks forever" comes from exactly the same place as "you don't want to be taking that medication forever. Why *wouldn't* I want to keep doing the thing that improves my life massively!? It's ablist as all hell.

@RockLeeSmile @TheChefMoist @jjmsteen @maltron3D UK Govt wanted to be free from EU rules. For NI to have different rules, there would need to be checks at the border between NI and RoI, which would probably trigger civil war. So NI mostly follows EU rules, UK Govt can only change GB rules, and the border is between GB and NI.
