After doing some reading yesterday on how data is sent to the government, I decided to install CovidSafe despite my concerns. Damned if you do, but we’re more damned if you don’t.

Why am I craving a “Christ Laurie!” Sylvania Waters gif? The body wants what it wants, I guess.

So has the COVID-19 contact tracing app being explicitly exempted from the meta data and anti-encryption laws or is the gov just hoping we’ll forget they’ve overreached under the name of national security?

When cookbook authors call for covering a frypan with a lid, are the naive or optimistic that we won’t use a plate or another frypan?

How about we all fess up and stop calling them meat balls and start calling them meat shapes instead?!

Work uses Google Meet and when I’ve got a few meetings, I keep the home page on my second screen. To avoid the cycling of backgrounds in my peripheral vision, I use this bookmarklet.

javascript:( (d) => {
    d.querySelector( '.q9EjXc' ).style.visibility="hidden";
    d.querySelector('.yvv8Re.OAburf').style.backgroundColor='black';
    d.querySelector('.l4V7wb.Fxmcue').style.display="none";
} )(window.document);

For some reason Mad World makes me think of dying bunny rabbits. 😢

Currently reading this ranking of the various Arnott’s biscuits. This has gone too far. And the ranking is wrong.

The humble Kingston biscuit has its own Wikipedia page and now I’ve fallen down a hole looking up the entire assorted creams family.

As someone who works at a news organisation, you’d really think Anbrew Dolt would have heard about NYC, Italy, the United Kingdom and on countless cruise ships. Maybe he doesn’t read or watch anyone that will employ him either?
