@hungrier you have Teams emails turned on?

@loopback0 You can turn them off?

Why turn them off?
It's nice to be reminded that somebody sent you a message a couple hours later, so you can finally answer them

Meanwhile, us inferior people on slack need to set our own bookmarks on posts we want to revisit.

Sounds like you should write a plugin to updoot slacks.

This boomer knows what it means to leave people unread. That applies mostly to emails, though; more than 10% of my work emails are unread (proportion of personal emails is much higher), and many of the other 90% I didn't actually read. I have no unread Teams messages, but they're nearly all unanswered (because most of them are group chats that don't directly involve me).

Status: DDF is working its magic. I'm getting several things I wasn't expecting until later in the week, or even next week, today, but the workbenches I was expecting today won't arrive until tomorrow. None of the stuff I'm getting today will be useful until I have (and assemble) the workbenches to put them on.

STATUS I need to stop going down Japanese franchise rabbit holes. Looking at metal gear now. Kojima was inspired but he's a complete wing ding. It's obvious most of it was made up on the spot or he had a cool idea and just rammed it in. The games look like good fun though. All twenty minutes of it for every four hours of cut scenes.

I got my package (a new work bag, paid for by work) this morning around 10am. Then at 11:45am I got an email proudly stating that they picked up the package from the supplier and it would arrive on my doorstep in a timeslot tomorrow.

When YOU touch hardware, the unexcpected is always expected
Hey it was like this when I got it.
Speaking of, someone dropped off a desktop that apparently "stopped working all of the sudden". Also told me they "tested the power supply by jumper".
Having concerns. We'll see what I find up.
Turns out the CPU seemed to have issues with being shipped I guess. Re-seating it (and smushing new thermal paste, I'm not that evil) fixed 'er right up.
Seller was apparently a dick and put an unactivated copy of Windows 11 Pro without any drivers on it.
Oh well, dude says he can handle it from there, I won't have trouble sleeping on it.

So long as I get the shot off first everything will be fine, right?
Everything was fine. If the alien is (when outside scripted events) essentially scared of you, the game is quite nice.
Really question some of the railroading, especially near the end. Maybe I'll reset everything and try the last three "missions", which were essentially a "Hey everything is blowing up, but don't worry you have time to slowly make your way across a space station several times!" track.

The nice thing about holding your cup under the coffee machine's spout so the cup doesn't drift is that when you start getting hot water on your fingers you realize it's not enough to put coffee grounds in the filter. You also have to put the filter back in the machine.

Okay. But the cupboards in your office won't unlock themselves. Just saying.
It turned up today. I could barely get it out of the packaging. Going to practice later.

The trailer dropped for a game that’s coming in, at best, 13 months time (and at worst, 25 months time). Is there really enough hype for GTA6 to sustain it for the year or are we going to be fucking drowned in manufactured hype to prop up the sales?

On a related note, tea has significantly more caffeine if you actually put a teabag in the boiling water.

Status: Slept like crap, back is in fine form today because of it. The reasoning for this is likely that last night my sister texted me that she took our father to the hospital because of increased not-feeling-well-ness, including "room spinning" and such. They admitted him because it seems it was a form of heart failure, and I find out today that it was likely due to fluid buildup in the lungs which is likely due to him ALSO having the flu.

There's been enough hype to sustain it for ages already so probably.

Depends. A proper cider (that is not carbonated lemonade with extra steps like Rekorderlig) can have up to 10% ABV.

@dkf That's iOpener Pro Max , with three thumb holes

@Applied-Mediocrity Curiously, it still wouldn't be the most expensive bottle opener I've seen. I've seen one 3D printed in the same material used to make fuel injectors for jet engines, which is very much not a normal substance to do printing with due to it having a very high melting point...

It doesn’t have enough features yet.
In other status news, for the first time in a while I went looking at all the emoji to see if we’d added the “x all the y” meme so I could have phrased the above as “add all the features!”, didn’t find what I was looking for but instead discovered

@DogsB GTA has side characters? Next you'll tell me there's a storyline.
I just carjack some random NPC and cause mayhem (moreso if I can break the laws of physics too).
