Back from 50 miles of bike, out of the shower and having a bit of a lie down, don't have to do anything, bit of FA Cup in a while, and Woody's come put his paws on my arm. Doesn't get any better than this
Medical professional: “Listen to your body.”
My body: *sound of a mariachi band falling down the up escalator*

Remember that old Emo Phillips line "some days it's just so hard even to summon the energy to gnaw through the leather straps"?

That's today in a nutshell.

I told a colleague to get up from his comfy pub chair and go outside and say sorry to the *woman whose arse he just slapped*, which, to his tiny amount of credit, he did.

But he went round calling me "that cunt" for the rest of the time I spent working with him.

Very much this. The only way to win is not to play. It's a really fucking stupid game, too, and it ends up leaving us with maladapted brain wiring that takes decades and a therapist to undo.

The moment men decided not to follow the script

Watching Louis Theroux explore the “manosphere” made me curious about the opposite story: how some men come to realise they don’t want to follow the script of masculinity they were given.

Calibrated a Befaco Pony oscillator with a cheap multimeter with a one-and-maybe-a-bit decimal place voltage accuracy earlier in the day, with reference 2.5V base going from 60c drift across 3 octaves to about 23c.

Got a nice modern multimeter for 20 quid, and going to 2.500V exactly has got that drift down to under 5c. I'm really happy with that, even though it's way too much multimeter for me...

Had to buy a new multimeter as the cheap one I had wasn't quite accurate enough for calibration. The new one is massive and backlit and I'm not good enough for it.

See *this* is why I like RSpec, even as people insist that Test::Unit is "just code"

I like having discussions with people that say "'cromulent' is a made-up word" because then you not only get to say that all words are made up but you get to put The Simpsons on the same footing as, say, Latin
