It's that time of day between 2:30 and 3 p.m. when I wait to hear my boss quietly slip out of the office early so I can leave.
- very occasionally my old boss would get the train home from work and i'd roll up on the opposite platform 5 minutes after. awkward AF!kingsteven

27 years since one of the best bands to ever come out of Wales played in Northampton, I met the band afterwards too and Euros Childs was such a lovely chap, but you could have probably guess that, They ended up playing in the bar as there were not enough folk in the venue to fill up the main hall, to be honest the intimacy of that made it even better!
- love this record but it's in my sell pile as i've seen what it goes for these days :-s https://i.imgur.com/…kingsteven

“We’re struggling to innovate” is an admission that a company isn’t evolving how work gets done, not evidence that the office drives innovation.
- like no kidding... how does 1-2 hours of travel/commute hassle, distractions galore within office env, being available to everyone at their random discretionprophetone
- helping with innovation... wasted time, cannot focus for extended periods esp as designer/devs...prophetone
- remote work forces pms, managers to really keep things efficient, meetings are minimal, focus time is valuable, goals met faster with higher quality output, imoprophetone

A coworker (woman) said yesterday : "99% of all the problems we have around the World are because of men. Wars, criminality, rapes, murders, violence, dictators, corruption, terrorists... Many decisions that are bad for the environment, for the population are coming from men"

- My answer is that such a lax assumption cannot be attributed to gender on a percentage basis.maquito
- In case you don't find a good reaction, tell her that a good idea would be to exterminate 99% of the men then.maquito

Been using Warpcast/Farcaster for just over a week. Already made $80 worth of $degen tips I can cash out from just doing a few posts a day.
Seems to be a pretty decent vibe for artists/creatives.
It's like X but without politics/conspiracy theories/hate.
If you post something decent then folk tip you $degen. Each day, each person gets a $degen allowance. The more you engage/interact/tip the more allowance you get.Any other QBNers on there?

- i like some aspects of it, like twitter with subreddits... a lot of people just blatantly trading $degen for likes. i'll dig a bit deeper tomorrow, seems a bitkingsteven

So we're standing on a pier on San Cristobal island in the Galapagos last week. We're about 8 feet above the surf, rocks, crabs and sea lions resting on the rocks. My wife walks over and promptly drops her phone through the boards of the pier and into the rocks below. Poof. It's gone. We get down on our knees to see if we can locate it. Nada. A gentleman who works at the marina walks over seeing we're in distress, I explain in my 8th grade Spanish what happened and he walks away. Three minutes later he returns with shirtless man called Jorge who looks like he's a house painter due to the paint splattered on his back. He asks where the phone is, jumps over the railing, down on to the rocks and sticks his arm down to try to find it. Waves are crashing about every 10 seconds or so. He pulls out a plastic bag. He pulls out an empty can. Then he holds up my wife's iPhone 13 (waterproof!) and we are so relieved. The phone was totally fine, still on and working even though it had been submerged for about 15 minutes or so. We handed Jorge and the other big guy $20 each. They were psyched and we were obviously so happy. It was a needed reminder that there are still really nice people out there.
So grateful for that big man to be willing to walk over to help.- $20 is $20.palimpsest

- I went to Galapagos and all I have is a lost iPhone story? Is this some kind of sick joke? Just kidding, glad you got it back. Now - pictures!canoe

because you all care so m uch about my lawn.
this is a fairly common yard here
no, thank you
that line is noticeable
yes, please
seems neighbors I've spoken to about this all say essentially the same thing, just stay on top of it, they appear quickly and die just as fast. letting weeds propagate is bad for clover, grass, and the soil. Ideally wildgrasses that root deeper would be preferencial. but with a limit to grass height, not an opton. each has their opinion on chemicals but given the pup, i'm using vinegar, salt, or boiling water for anything I can't dig up.
this is why kentucky bluegrass is preferred here, slower growth, denser, better at retaining water
- I planted creeping thyme, moss, and other low ground cover plants. 3rd year and it’s starting to take over nicelyGnash
- i've never had a property that's not separated by a hedge or fence, that would wind me up to the point i'd just end up doing theirs.kingsteven
- i have a bit of lawn thats out of the way i use for patching dog damage then just seed the edges, it's usually blended in a couple weeks, then repeat :-|kingsteven
- lol, so many lawnpics. Have you tried Zoysia? It's what they use around golf courses and tends to be weed resistant.garbage
- Constant maintenance, and after having to deal with it through childhood, my biggest victory in life is not having a fucking yard.garbage
- But if you laid down sod, you'd never see those weeds again. Also pick the dandelions before they spread.garbage
- What kind of machine are you using on that spread? Push mower? Electric? Tractor? We gotta know!stoplying

the previous owners of this home must have considered clovers close enough to grass to not be bothered weeding or landscaping in any capacity
i've pulled at least 100 gallons of dandelions this week. my trashcan is full. i'm not done. :( 5-10% of that came from the neighbors yard.
mowing tomorrow will look so good when i'm done
sidenote: why do so many houses in america have that little strip of property off to the side that the neighbor doesn't mow?
so silly to see a weed line / different grass line 8 feet from the garage.
my left side yard overlaps my neighbors front yard and we both have a habit of mowing into the other's lawn. cool
my neighbor to the right thinks cutting his dandelion decorated grass is weed control. grrr

Did you know that the free version of YouTube Music lets you upload your own music? For some reason, very few people actually know this and use it.
It's great for all the stuff that isn't on streaming. I've used it for years.
- I mean, it lets you upload your own music collection, not just your own music that you made yourself :)jagara
- Even if you aren’t the content creator?monospaced
- Yes! It'll be for your own consumption only, of course.jagara
- Sounds like a playlist? but what do I know... I'm just jigalo, everywhere I gocanoe
- No dude. You can upload your own music files. No matter what they are. So that you can listen to it like you listen to Spotify.jagara
- Sometimes obscure stuff that I like isn't on Spotify (or streaming in general). So I uplad it to YT music, so I can listen to it here.jagara
- Useful if you don't want to use up space on your device, and listen by streaming it instead.jagara
