  @neil fun story: when I was 15 I registered askjeves.co.uk, copied the site and made it respond with “Piss off, I’m busy” to any question. They threatened to sue my parents, I was obviously terrified so immediately transferred the domain. Their lawyers later confessed it was the funniest thing they’d seen. I was not popular with my parents for a while.

  Have temp muted the systemd tag to get rid of all the noise from the usual haters jumping on another excuse to hate it. Now I miss @pid_eins’s daily release note threads because the first post is necessarily tagged systemd. Can’t win.

  We’re in the market to upgrade our remaining non-EV car to an #EV. We’d like 200-300 miles range, large hatchback or small SUV is about the right size. Would probably look at 2-3 years old. Any recommendations or models to avoid? Currently on a Merc A Class and the EV is a Mini Cooper.

  Cooking chicken for the first time for a long time (we’re mostly pescatarian but not strict about it) and I was shocked to discover two breasts are now £8.30. Madness.
