Herbie doesn't like the dog wash...
29/10/16 - Taken at On The Run, Largs Bay. Herbie hated a bath.
His front half was a kind of very dark brindle, which would only be evident for a week or so, post-wash.

New nose hair trimmer Woo-hoo! #middle-age
28/10/16 - One of the most irksome things about getting older is the way you sprout hair. Nose, eyebrows, ears. This nose hair trimmer is still knocking about the bathroom cabinet, largely unused.
Also, in a lot of the pics around this time, focus (or the lack of it, more precisely) doesn't seem to be something I'm particularly interested in.
I've been driving this car for years, but have only just noticed the sloth-face steering wheel. #pareidolia
Another choon.
What does 'Notifier task is pending' mean? Google doesn't seem to know.

When they moved this instance to a larger server it somehow messed up the background task workers that pretty much do everything. So there is a huge backlog of jobs to be done, each with different priority, which is why any new post's notifier task is pending, and - as is my understanding - will be until the queue ahead of it gets completed.
The big downside of this is that, right now on friendica.world, none of the local-only communications work. You can post and reply publicly, but you can't post to just your friends or followers, nor are DMs working. The server admin recently commented on one of my posts that it should be caught up this weekend. Hopefully everything will be working correctly after that and our posts will no longer have the hourglass and "Notifier Task Pending" on them.

23/10/16 - This is a classy bit of soul, which I had bought after hearing the great Dr Bob Jones play it on his show. Turns out there's a mis-labelled version of this out there (which I found out to my cost). The one you want has the word Century scribbled out on the label presumably because they'd all been pressed with the wrong name on, or they found out there was another group with the same name, after the labels had been printed.
I really like writing on labels (WOL) of records I buy, even though it knocks value off. Seeing someone's name on there always makes me wonder who they were and what happened to them.
Just finished reading this. Punk, feminism, class & ethnicity. Fuck, #Spitboy were great.

Smashed avo anyone?
23/10/16 - This was posted at the height of the avo scare, where young people's inability to afford a mortgage was attributed to their love of smashed avo on toast.
Avocados are one of those things that I buy and 'save' until their mouldy. I can't seem to break out of this behaviour pattern.
Maybe I'm
to blame for the ongoing rental crisis.
I love smart ass release notes in Free Software.

Alt: A dark-grey app update notification displays "What's New" in a larger font size. Below, it states "January 15, 2025 · 7.38.0". The main text explains that a bug with "[@]" mentions that sometimes incorrectly included the user's own account in autocomplete suggestions has been fixed. It humorously suggests using third-person narration as a workaround in group chats if the user misses the bug. A blue "X" is shown in the upper right corner to close the notification.

Repertorio Melodioso - Genshin Impact
Antier desbloqueé el modo permanente musical de #genshinimpact y no puedo dejar de jugarlo. Me encanta la música del juego y los juegos de ritmo, así que siento que esto fue hecho basado en las encuestas, ya que siempre pongo que la música de Genshin me encanta y que juego mucho juegos de ritmo (y sé que no soy la única).
¡Me encanta este modo permanente!

"Yesterday, Minister Nixon announced that the Government of Alberta would be reneging on its promise to fund interim housing in Jasper. It’s another broken promise by the UCP, one that impacts the long-term survival of the Jasper townsite."
