It's my birthday next week and for the first time since I was 16 I get to hang out with a family member.

I feel, I guess, curious?

How's the updated YarraByte going?

I added minor response parameters, which can only be called upon with the bots name and the hashtag for Beep, as responding on its own accord without being called just felt weird.

Daily Thread post body now updates at 5am with minor info about the days weather & the emoji vote. I looked for pollen info, but couldn't find any free API for allergies, closest was via Google with an account and that doesn't feel right for a Lemmy bot.

Additionally, public holidays and daylight savings notifications in post body a few times per year, day before and day of.

I bought a new bottle of maple syrup recently, which came with a standard metal cap instead of the nice flip & pour plastic cap the old one had. I just realised they have the same screw fitting though, so have just moved the old cap onto the new bottle. Winning.

I avoided any possible disasters plugging the new PC into the TV by thinking of the worst possible outcome and having this conversation in my head:

"Man, that bottom dust cover is so slippery. I can't believe I dropped the new PC because it slipped off in my hand."

"Then why didn't you take the dust cover off, put it down, then put the dust cover back on?"

"Oh, I didn't think of that."

And that's how I DID think of that and avoid any disasters. Is there a word for this type of mental technique or is it just common sense?

this paragraph is precisely the reason why I'm sad we don't record our court proceedings like the US does

The things I would give to see the look on the judges face 😂

The decision on the management situation at work has been decided. My manager will now be someone based overseas with a lot more on their plate than previously. My current manager is hoping for redeployment so we'll have to see what happens there too.

EXTREMELY pleased with the $20 KK gift I just picked up for someone. So much so I want to keep it. Which is always a good sign.

Anyone want to hear a bunch of middle eastern influenced industrial tracks I wrote?

I probably shouldn't have had that pepsi max for afternoon tea yesterday 🫪🫪🫪
