Mac, iOS & Win 10 Mobile user & Android dabbler in Eastern Australia, abuser of tea, coffee & CHEESE. Kept by a Cat. International Man of Misery.
In the past fortnight three sisters & their brother (all in their 80s) have had major health scares. Only one avoided a hospital visit.
That was my aunt Barb. My mother is now in a rehabilitation hospital. Uncle Mike is back at home.
But aunt Joan only lived another three hours, stepping on a rainbow just before 7:30 pm last Saturday.
I'll be attending her funeral 360 km north on Saturday.
I'd been using the settings panel incorrectly, I'd checked every other language except English, misreading the instructions, and opting into seeing these other languages.
Instead I should have checked English only, opting out of those other ones.
Seems to be working now.
My wife's leaving me because "everything I say is irrelevant".
That's easy for her to say when her brothers girlfriend has just bought a new coffee table.
No matter how kind you are...
German children are kinder.
I went into a library and asked if they had any books about paranoia.
The librarian said "They're right behind you!"
What's the difference between red and green?
Fuck all apparently if you're a cyclist!
So it's after midnight in eastern Australia, the non-English European/Asian languages THAT ARE ALLEGEDLY FILTERED OUT IN PREFERENCES are infesting my timeline.
TOTALLY FUCKING USELESS FILTRATION. CAN'T SOMEONE FIX IT?
Elon Musk plans to get humans to Mars in six years. That's nice. How about getting me across town in less than an hour!
Wife wanted me to pick up some cortisone cream at the pharmacy but I told her we better not make any rash decisions.
When life gives you lemons, just autocorrect. Boom. Melons. 🍈🍈
So last time I died and was reincarnated as a composer. I’m Bach now.
100% battery & more than 10 hours remaining? Nice.
I have two other Mac laptops designed for 10 hours of battery life but that was by using two 5-hour batteries, the extra one being in the multi-device bay. They are G3 "Pismo" models from 2001.
I've been hearing rumours of a new iPad with USB-C instead of Lightning. One wonders what it'll be called: iPad X; iPad SE or maybe iPad SE-X?
What is the point of filtering languages in Mastodon's preferences WHEN SAID FILTRATION DOES NOT OCCUR?
2.5 hours ago at 1:45pm I arrived at my Mum's home for a visit. I found her on the floor of her bedroom when she'd been for God knows how long since falling out of bed during the night. Might have been 12 hours or more.
She has existing shoulder & back problems so I wasn't going to move her, just make her warm & gently rub her sore spots.
Taken by ambulance to the local hospital by a dedicated team of paramedics, of whom I have nothing but the highest of praise.
Now waiting anxiously for news.
Coffee arrived in record time, usual courier employed. 22.3 hours from shipping to arrival.
Ordered 500 gram bag of Guatemalan medium-roast coffee beans at 7 am today. Six hours later the order had been processed & shipped. It has to travel about 3000 km to get here, previous packages have arrived in 26 hours.
Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
Teach a feminist to fish and she will accuse you of patronising her, claim she knew how to do it anyway and that even if she didn't, she could easily work it out without the help of a man.
How do you kill a circus clown?
Go for the juggler!
