Oh nice! Blueberries 🫐 are the best!

So, 5kg of Jasmine Rice has lasted me for 46 days. I think that's ok for three people!

That's a lot of Curries, Kimchi Bokeumbap and Tofu Fried Rice!

Morning!

I think I've found the best breakfast ever.

Jumbo Rolled Oats, Alpro Oat Milk (No Sugar), topped with Strawberries, and a milled Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Chia Seeds & Goji Berries mix, and a few drops of Maple Syrup 😋

I've had a really productive day in #InDesign. For some reason, I really like it 😅

Morning!

I slept well, but woke up kinda early. So, I popped my AirPods in and watched The Wrath of Khan under the duvet 😂

Haha, great that it does that though!

Recently, I’ve very much noticed the extra steps involved in doing anything online…

Navigating cookie notices and popups, skipping adverts, dealing with spam and scam messages. Even as I type this, autocorrect is doing its best to get in the way!

And why is there no edit function here!?

😩

I am too lazy to reformat this one - best read the thread on front-end.social linked below, then feel free to come back here and comment if you like :)

It's a little commentary thread based on this article:

I wish I could find a reliable and efficient way to engage across Masto and Bsky. The only way I've found that I can do it even remotely, is to use two apps and copy/paste my own content between.

It's a fudge.

Everyone says that until they get blended with Neelix 😅

What is each new console gen delivering over its predecessor recently? Higher resolution, and better frame rates? Maybe faster load times… but what else?

Is the astronomical cost of the consoles, and increased game development times worth the added realism?

Well, no. I wouldn’t be either! I buy a lot of tofu!

Andy Carolan @andycarolan.bsky.social · 12d

Wait... What?! That’s next level end of times stuff right there!

My local supermarket has no Hummus. I feel like some kind of line has been crossed 🤔
