#TIL, i think.
Looks like »pain in the neck« is older and not a minced oath for pain in the arse.

5 August 2025 - Daily Drawing Day 217
#20252025Challenge
I use Windows 11 at work and it's a mess. One thing I abhor is the constantly hidden scrollbars for the sake of 'minimalism', especially as in some software you now have to jump through hoops to see the bar for a moment! Time to learn Linux.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...

Well...

That experiment failed 😔

Aero decided to exit through a fence into next door. That produced some minor injuries 😮‍💨

Aaaaand because Aero went, Beau decided he was off as well but through a different fence. 😒

Spot, who is very wise in the way of the fence, decided to stay so he could supervise repairs.🧐

#apple forced me to put a gmail as my primary indentifier, instead of using my #icloud email. It’s been a #paininthearse #paininthebum #painintheneck for years, because every time I click #signinwithapple Sign In with Apple, it logs the #gmail as me, and sends all the emails to that. What’s the point of having an iCloud email in the first place?

Someone should kick me next time I think I should try and have some social time and a conversation with Dad.
