@TheRealBnut Urge to kill subsiding…
@brettporter Let me know if you spot any others in Surry Hills!

@virtualwolf Optometrists are sadistic.
@cathjones0 Just optometrist making sure my stupid retinas arenβt detaching. All good. π

Well done @lemon_lime! I’m thinking of entering my blinky beanie in the Easter Show. π https://t.co/wnMjokZ87c
@lemon_lime Oh you don’t even know. Apparently a bunch of them have seceded. That’s the only reason I’m entering – to troll. π
Shhh! Nobody tell him about status bars and traffic crossings. https://t.co/IjvlUo0Mud

@mitchelmore_j Where are you going? Do you have a job lined up? (I was there for 2 years in the original dotcom boom. Loved it.)

I am the Marie Kondo of JIRA.
@NicoleWill100 I have just ordered the Kondo book for me and @knitterjp. We are fascinated.
@johnallsopp At least with “Frozen,” that guy turns out to be the baddie!
This week has taught me that I could never live in the Pacific Northwest. (One more day of rain and I am going to LOSE IT.)
@johnallsopp Ahhh, yeah. Thankfully haven’t seen any of those. On a happier note, saw first pics of young girls cosplaying as Rey yesterday!
@johnallsopp That’s awesome! Tell her she did a great job!
@slace I have big red gumboots from Bunnings which keep me dry but give me blisters. π

Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. His performance is wasted on those movies, but still. https://t.co/UgYgz8w1OB
TIL Crown Street Grocer in @surry_hills makes a bulletproof coffee. It ain’t cheap, but it’s good.
@TheRealBnut Yep. Seriously, the duel between the Jedi and Darth Maul is amazing.
@TheRealBnut I mean, not amazing enough to counteract all the other awfulness, but still.
@chrisgander Where has that been suggested? Are you talking about the Dutton thing?
@chrisgander True. I married a co-worker. But I didn’t ask him out on live TV and refer to him as “baby” in front of thousands of people.
@chrisgander And context matters. She’s a woman in an industry with very few women, and things like that are why.
@chrisgander Basically, I don’t think he showed her respect. If he really liked her, he could’ve asked her out off-camera.
@chrisgander I still don’t think you can say that 100%. You can’t ask out someone who reports to you at work.
@chrisgander I also think that if you want to ask out a co-worker, you don’t do it when they’re giving a big presentation.
@chrisgander Preferably not in the office at all. I think you’re speaking from a position of male privilege a little bit, not understanding
@chrisgander how women have to deal with this stuff all. the. time. Being in a pub or having drinks, sure. But doing your job is different.
@chrisgander It’s a very easy thing to say when you’re in the gender that does 98% of the asking. The other side gets tired sometimes.
@chrisgander But I’m not really arguing. I’m just overcaffeinated. π
@TheRealBnut @tinypang WHAT IS THIS AND WHY WASN’T I A PART OF IT? (I’m always cold, and I sleep surrounded by three very warm mammals.)
@TheRealBnut @tinypang I have a White Noise app on my iPhone and have worked out that – oddly and grossly enough – “Brown Noise” works best.
@boundvariable Someone who works at Google once speculated to me that the point of self-driving cars is actually to stream more YouTube ads.
On the upside, @the_snook said yest “Hey, that box of 50c stamps you’ve had forever are finally useful again!” https://t.co/sknvtK1DM3
Sometimes I canβt believe I married such an introvert. Youβre all so WEIRD!
@Xavier_Ho He knows heβs weird. π
@mobywhale @mitchelmore_j WHEN THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?!

The Console Series
Signalnoise :: The Work of James WhiteΒ – GASP. I want all of these on my walls. They’d go perfectly with our bookshelf Museum of Obsolete Technology.
Hmm.
Now I am envisioning a series of cross stitches with obsolete tech on them! All of these, plus an iPod and a Walkman and a Zip drive…

@drkknits Sterling Archer would beg to differ.
@drkknits https://t.co/ma4B67IAuF (I finally got into Archer. It helps that I realised it’s mostly the Arrested Development cast.)
@drkknits @kunaal84 has been telling me to watch it for years. Lucille, Kitty, and George are all in it so far!
