My friend (looking to buy a house) used to say Surely the housing prices can’t possibly grow any more! … That was 10 years ago. The bubble is happily bubbling away…

Ooh pancakes, good idea! Or maybe waffles, I haven’t done those in a long time. Time to hunt for a recipe…

Oh you just made my day. The shift will just fly by. Thanks!

I genuinely wonder if rust helps guarding against slop coding vulnerabilities, at least statistically.

Our commie blocks in East Europe tend to get colorful when their owners (either the city or the dwelers) decide to insulate the facade, which often happens across a whole district in a short time. Random image to ilustrate.

Not what the post is about, but finding my MX5 on a parking lot is getting increasingly difficult, yes.

They lose some of their sound, literally. This is very audible with the mandolin, it gets quite muted as the strings age. What a difference when you change them.

…the suspense is killing me! What is it?

I love the design and idea behind these things, I just wish I had a good excuse to use one.

Can’t imagine the rash you’d get from this.

I for one still find it amusing how it can get stuck on different things every now and then. Even after all these years. Especially when it chews on my wife’s stuff and I can make fun of it.
