You know how the union movement fought for 8 hours work, 8 hours rest, and 8 hours recreation? I'm struggling to find time for that third 8 hours, you know? I don't think defining 'recreation' as 'anything you don't explicitly get paid for that isn't sleeping' cuts the mustard anymore.

Yeah do you show yourself the gold, or let that be seen by the people around you.

The same Billy Joel cassette-spine mug, but this time showing the decent records.

Ross Floate @rossfloate.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah the obverse has all the good shit.

I went into a store once and turns out they will ABSOLUTELY display Pornhub on the browser. Whoops.

Obviously the other side is superior.

The perfect coffee mug doesn’t ex…

A coffee mug onto which the spines of every Billy Joel cassette have been printed.

I actually had one of these. Total PITA to get files off it in 1992.

This is where I'm posting from.

Amstrad NC100, an A4-sized portable word processor from 1992. It's just a qwerty keyboard with a three line LCD display.

Yeah, depends on how the recurring payment has been set up.

I'm just the ideas guy. Sales is for the clean-shaven folks with the lease on a BMW they can't afford.

QA teams must absolutely *love* my crash reports.

A crash report where my response to the "what happened" description is "Going through unread messages then app fall down go boom"

Ross Floate @rossfloate.bsky.social · 20h

Yeah I know one of them followed me last time I did this but it's worth a shot.

Ross Floate @rossfloate.bsky.social · 20h

Boom. Nuked.

I don’t have time to hunt down all that shit. Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
