Just some guy I think. Snark, tech, cooking, dogs, TTRPGs. I’m a privacy engineer at Google but I’m not here for work. He/him.

I have a few wall-mounted tablets for Home Assistant. I use cheap “Dockem” plastic mounts from Amazon because they’re low-profile and unobtrusive. You stick (3M) or screw them on two corners, then just slide the tablet in.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

if you’re ever feeling out of your depth, just remember that in 2015 david cameron presented his defining policy: to hold a referendum on brexit and settle the matter once and for all so the Tory party could forever repair its internal divisions and strifes

You can also just put `cooked.wiki/` infront of the URL!
Almost all recipe sites publish the bare bones recipe in a machine-readable format for scrapers. That’s how Paprika etc get the data these days. Cooked.wiki is a web based & free variant.

And with the entire party now primed to tear itself to bits over the “do we move right or to the centre” dilemma, it’s gonna be a long summer for Tory MPs!

Labour's victory is really important, but emotionally it feels to me less like a birthday present and more like getting a new boiler. This is a work election.

Warhammer 40,000 lore: this was a small skirmish in the ongoing galactic war, featuring half a Space Marine chapter, six thousand Imperial Guard, and twenty thousand orks Warhammer 40,000 gameplay: 15 marines with a Rhino are fighting 45 orks and three Mekboyz. This will take nine hours to play

My favourite flavour of ice cream uses a base made from milk that is steeped in Corn Flakes, and then once the ice cream is made, you sprinkle crushed Corn Flakes over it that have been roasted in butter and brown sugar. It’s amazing.

Note that GDP per capita doesn’t attempt to model anything about income at all, as GDP is quite different. A billionaire doesn’t skew it the same way as mean salaries.
Median salaries are £34,963 ($44,336) vs $37,500.

New Scientist once ran a “questions from readers” column that asked: ‘is there any way to tell from the image alone if a given photo was taken at sunrise or sunset?’ The consensus in the answers was that there isn’t!

I had a vasectomy that was... Unusually Eventful. Weeks later I mentioned this to my primary care doctor. "Oh yes!" she said brightly. "My husband did your procedure! He told me about you!" This was when I discovered a new life maxim: never become the subject of a medical professional's anecdote.

I don't mean to sound hard-hearted about this. There were plenty of good reasons to not want to vote for Biden even before he washed his hands in Gazan blood. But the electoral maths are stark, and cruel. You can cast a full vote for Biden or a half-vote for Trump. There are no other choices.

If you don't vote for Biden and he wins anyway, then you get to keep your hands clean, that's good! If you don't vote for Biden and he loses, then you helped elect Trump. Everything that happens later should weigh on your conscience. You voted for it, indirectly. Which outcome do you fear more?

From the outside looking in, this is one of the more baffling things. SCOTUS makes a dumbass call, Congress does nothing (I get why it’s gridlocked, that’s not baffling) but what is confusing is then nobody does anything else and nobody seems to get mad at Congress. Even though it shares the blame!

Jack actively calls this out too, right? I think there’s a monologue (I mean the whole book’s a monologue but stick with me) where he contrasts the rules of engagement for his coke dealing vs open mercenary warfare. It was always very clear to me Nick!

The one where Monica straight up kills a guy on the street with her teeth and it's just 22 minutes of her ripping chunks out of him & spitting them out while staring directly into the camera & if you listen carefully you can hear the director yelling "CUT!" until they start crying.

A friend likes to tell of his local Thai restaurant that has five levels: “Mild”, “Standard”, “Spicy”, “Very Spicy”… and “Thai Spicy”. Buldak is Korean but it 100% comes from the same culinary philosophy.
