It's always lovely when someone in the shared office space decides to have a Teams call on his speakers. Who needs head phones anyway?

Can't figure out if that's anti-social or too social.

Ugh I'm getting tired of the endless openings of dessert and novelty drink venues in the CBD. I don’t have a sweet tooth, and I don’t want to spend any disposable income I have on sugary food/liquids.

I suppose these places are popular partly because they're cheap to run and they fit with a cost of living crisis (cheap treats), but god I'm bored with them. Not to mention the endless plastic cups produced for the sugary coffee-based drinks.

Eleven new CBD spots for lunch, treats and coffee (plus a bistro where everything is $14)

Beat the back-to-work blues with mid-morning breaks geared around cake and coffee, bargain lunch plates and iced matcha.

Remember when you could have a conversation without yelling at each other before watching a movie in the theater? Yeah that's how old I am. Before-movie-ads make me really grumpy. I need to bring ear plugs to the theater. #GrumpyOldMan #MovieTheaterEnshitification

You know what I'm tied of? Whatever "wrapped" is what.

@alex You must have a lot of panels. We have 18, which means we're making over twice what we use this time of year. Including the EV - nice to be running around for free!

I'm not so equable about the fixed charges. It seems unfair that we're supplying ten times more more to the grid than we take from it, but WE get to pay the line charge although they get the benefit.

And don't get me started on peak usage periods being shorter for feed in than feed out. #GrumpyOldMan

I've gone from excited (10 yrs ago) to indifferent to outright pissed.

#RAM prices are freak'n ridiculous right now. Since I build three PCs two months ago the price has increased x4.

Why?
Because #openai and "friends" vacuuming all the hardware, making it unavailable for normal people.

Is it really making our life better?
No.

The #bubble is going to burst.
Sooner is better.
Don't give them your money.
We don't _need_ 99% of the shit they're throwing at us.

Hlg. Abend nähert sich in großen Schritten.
So ein Versammlungsverbot, welches strengstens kontrolliert wird, wäre irgendwie geil.
Nicht falsch verstehen, ich gönn euch euer Fest mit eurer Familie.
Nur ich hab da irgendwie kein Bock drauf.
Ich leide wohl am #GrumpyOldMan Syndrom 🙈
Yet again I have to ask someone to not to sit on a table that people will eat food off. Simple etiquette. #GrumpyOldMan #GoodManners

Thinking about getting a bunch of business card sized cards made with instructions on good manners and etiquette that I can hand to inconsiderate and ignorant people. Like the person next to me in this cafe having a video call on their phone without using earbuds or headphones. It’s not only the noise but also the fact I don’t want to be in the background of their video.
