Stuff I'm into: hiking, writing, gardening, crafts, art. I'm a cranky devops weirdo (or whatever we are now). Will I post about any of that? Who knows.

@babe I opened this link in a tab two days ago and actually read it today and... Oh No the AI SEO spammers have found the autism information space. :-(

The "wait mode" article has some red flags in the writing structure but elsewhere on the site it's much more obvious: https://neurolaunch.com/ask-brain-2/

Nice day for a walk on the Yarra. I always love the undersides of bridges.

I'm really not sure what I think of this movie, so in no particular order:

- One third Hamlet, one third The Green Knight, one third Conan The Barbarian. Add violence. Add more violence. No, more. More than that. Maybe even more violence.

- Gosh that's a lot of historically accurate fibercraft. Tablet weaving, bottom weighted spindles and warp weighted looms, oh my!

- 🌋

- relentlessly grim (see above, Hamlet)

- 😬

Magpies in Yarra Bend Park. They were right on the edge of the path and completely ignored the numerous passers by.

@d alternative silicone tubes aside...

How good is that little "tok!" as you fire the puck out into the bin when it's done? So good.

@DamienWise If we're lucky it's too old and simple to play stupid games with ink expiry dates.

I got rid of my old HP printer years ago because it was unsupported, always trying to force me to buy expensive ink, I didn't have room, I hardly ever needed to print, and I could just use a printer at work. But now I'm not going to an office any more and we have more space. I still really only need it to print out return forms for online shopping failures. Hopefully the ink survives until the next time we need it.

@DamienWise found an unopened printer amongst his things which he bought _8 years ago_. I just set it up and somehow it all works. The print cartridges it shipped with are fine and Epson still makes drivers for it for current operating systems and it connects to the wifi and all that. It _did_ want one of those old square usb A cables which it didn't ship with and it only works on 2.4GHz wifi, but it works? I guess the printer curse is waiting to manifest when it's more urgently needed.
