You could use pad.riseup.net as a perfunctory solution. It’s just a text file that anyone with the link can edit, but Riseup is privacy-focussed.

If you boil rice, just check some veg on top so it steams, then add seasoning when it’s done. Bish bash bosh.

I’ve read some utter wank in my day, but the one that first springs to mind is Fault in their Stars by John Green.

Is it still pornographic? “Detective, dash over here and interpunct my colon”, “don’t full stop, I’m about to comma”, etc, etc.

Well it’s the first of October now but in September I was off sick with exhaustion, so I got a blood test done after a couple of years of putting it off, just to be sure of course. I rearranged my bedroom too for a change. I spoke to my supervisor at work saying I need more rest, so making sure I get breaks every day and not too many workdays in a row.

My tip for anyone who’s suddenly struck with enough motivation to pull yourself out the hole: I find using a tasks app helps an awful lot with not only remembering to everything and when to do it but with feeling a bit of satisfaction when I mark it as done. Which reminds me, I need to tick off that I’ve taken my soup out the freezer this morning.

I use the Firefox extension Untrap on my PC, and every time I go on Youtube it says the extension’s slowing the browser down. I use Invidious on an old tablet when I go to bed, and I just have to refresh now and again to get it working, but there are far fewer instances on the list, I’ve noticed.

‘mtr’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I assume I’m on the wrong OS.

There’s a channel on Youtube called My Analogue Journey, I usually chuck that on.

I use “ping” every time I suspect my internet might be going a bit slow.

Can you give an example? Because I’ve just looked at Luxembourg, Nepal, and Aruba, and they’re all littered with named buildings and landmarks. Pyongyang even has a fair bit filled in.

I did that a lot as a kid, as well as having to scratch e.g. my left arm if I’d just scratched my right arm. I had to put my first step on a new surface with my left foot and the last with my right, and I had a system of sort of aping something I’d just heard by grinding my teeth, which I still sort of do sometimes but only in my head because my teeth have grown in such a way that I can’t really do it any more.

I remember I used to eat a bag of crisps by holding the bag in my right hand and picking with my left, until one day I decided that was stupid, and rather than just giving up dictating which hand did what, I switched hands.

Have you tried explaining in your native language that you don’t speak that language? They love it.

If you’ve already read a lot of books, you should give If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller a go.

If we ditched the daft names?

A friend of mine once said he’d join the army only because he didn’t have anything to live for, but I ended up helping him get a job on the railway and now he’s a train driver, and a good one at that.

And you’ll have fewer apps installed on your phone, which is something I’ve come to value lately.

Oh. Where I live you just send a photo taken on your phone by email. It’s only so they can say they’ve asked for proof you’re allowed to work here after all.

My downloads directory’s empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.

he was actually a better leader than Starmer

Without looking for a source: I seem to recall he’s the opposition leader who’s caused the most government U-turns in the history of the British parliament.
