Well well well well. Turns out that the carnivorous housefly that’s been driving us nuts for 2 days is utterly pervious to my acetamiprid fruit tree insecticide spray.

Sarah’s trans goals 2004: pluck up the courage to actually go see a doctor about this.
Sarah’s trans goals 2014: work with a newly reformed Stonewall and within the political process to build us a better future.
Sarah’s trans goals 2024: endure long enough to read the obituaries of every evil fucker who denied us that future.

There's this thing that seems to be happening in western democracies recently where leftish liberal politicians look at their right-wing-going-on-fascist opposition and say "they're right, but don't vote for them". The result is that people shrug and think they may as well vote for the real fascist rather than the guy doing fascist cosplay.
But does this ever happen the other way around? You never get Trump saying "The socialists are right, don't vote for them". Possibly I'm asking why the Overton window only ever goes rightwards.

I have an amazing "Carry On" training backpack that allows me to carry a laptop, regular clothes, training clothes, trainers and swim kit. Individual compartments, barriers, the works.

They are, and they benefit from their lightness compared to suvs. However, they also have their brother on speeddial with a tractor if they do get stuck in the winter.
May just be the fact that I have Covid, but I just see the future getting darker and darker as a self fulfilling prophecy of our idiot politicians who think they have no choice but to drive society into the abyss.
And it’s really fucking depressing.
I should probably go to bed.

Just unblocked a load of people I had server blocks on because they had animated GIF avatars and they were bricking my server’s job queue.
Have upgraded server software and it fixes the issue so I’ve removed the blocks.
If you were one of these people, sorry! It was nothing personal. I couldn’t even tell you because any attempt to interact with you in any way poisoned my job queue.

Well done! I am pondering whether to pay privately for a 2nd Covid jab 6 months after the one the NHS randomly decided I was entitled to this yr. Esp if I can get a Novavax which I am hearing is the best one for modernish Covid.
Still being super cautious, disability health stuff is already barely manageable, I just can't risk anything getting Worse on top of my usual age related deteriorations....

I keep seeing these people pop up in “ex pat” (hate that term) groups here in Portugal. Mate, Brexit was in the news and stuff.
Portugal is being patient, but I assume there are limits. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

When I was 15, I got a new pair of shoes for school. They were too tight and caused hyperkeratosis on the ridges of my big toes. This got so bad that the skin started painfully splitting.
The right one slowly resolved itself over time. The left has got worse and worse. 36 years later it has spread to three toes on that foot and despite trying to control it with debriding, salicylic acid, and steroids, it gets worse, and frequently cracks to the point it bleeds.
I have searched and searched and searched on the internet for the same presentation, but it’s always the other side of the foot. Never on the ridges of the toe joints.
Until yesterday. I saw the exact same thing in a photo on duck duck go.
I clicked through.
“Patient told to stop sitting on foot”.
I looked down. I was sitting on my left foot.
Fucksake.

@ifixcoinops This may be a good time to mention my new Sony TV came with two remotes, and I wish I was kidding. There’s the traditional TV remote, and the “smart” one. Where, and I kid you not, some buttons work via Bluetooth, others via IR.
I’ve never seen such a great example of what results from stitching two products together in something barely sellable. Sony is a shadow of what it used to be. Just like every other electronics brand.

Studied WW1 in school but never went hard on the July Crisis that started it.
Read up on it now and feeling like the Treaty of Versailles was a lot less unfair than I previously thought.
