Currently thinking of how to create a Jira template detailed enough to use as a prompt for Cursor. Then just need a script to set off an agent and create a PR, one button to accept, and then run the CI/CD pipeline. Should get me closer to the Homer dream. #cursorail

Half of America voted for this. Blame them, not the leader they chose.

Imagine a world where the washing icons on clothing were matched with the icons on a washing machine’s controls.

Just muted the word “Legos”.

I googled it and ended up at urban dictionary which gave me a similar definition. There is one definition that is just pure sexism and I had to create an account just to report it.

If I had my way then houses would get score for things like room, garden, storage sizes (different specs for flats, and houses) and there would be a style book for exteriors for local areas so houses fitted in but allow for modern design in some way. Plus developers had to build infrastructure first

tobyontour @tobyontour.bsky.social · 3d

But we, for some god-forsaken reason, can neither build good houses in anything but small numbers, abhor interesting design, and also we love old houses with “character”.

If the mandated special character at the end isn’t a ! then you’re doing it wrong.

I love how the reality of economics and the world in which it operates is constantly changing and yet economists make predictions or assertions with such confidence.

Ok - we’ll be right over

We just have a gentle chat

Minister:
I understand your concerns…

Are you OK love?

Minister:
Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian

Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love

8
Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to

[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

Will everyone be offered optional cookies every time they try and do anything at the party?

Is that therapy more or less expensive than the therapy for kids of divorced parents?

Such a small stretch of water, such a gulf in the ability to build nuclear reactors.

tobyontour @tobyontour.bsky.social · 7d

Ditch the fear of nuclear and just be against it because it costs so much, takes forever to come online, and never delivers.

Is there any reason why people at the place that I work have started using the word “surface” as a verb instead of “display” that I’m missing? Is it some trend I’ve missed out on? I want to display a title on a page, not surface it.

There’s a company locally that does a black garlic infused one. We don’t buy it because we end up adding it to absolutely everything.

Sounds like some sort of young Tory fanfic.
