My bank refuses to play ball with Graphene, so I have to use the website. Which is ok, but I have to put in a 2fa code sent via SMS every. damn. time.
I have to put in TWO passwords, then still have to authenticate with that code. I’m convinced it’s because they want me to use the app.

I saw that for the first time last year, and I can tell you that it’s bloody disturbing to a 44 year old too.
There’s (slightly) fewer cunts on here.
I was watching this Janus Cycle video at the weekend, and god it made me wish I could buy a folding keyboard case for my Pixel 9.
Does it count that I have four computers running Linux because I can’t help myself?
Thing with Vegemíté is that it’s like Marmite, but not fucking awful.
Vegemíté, as pronounced by Gloria in Modern Family.
Every time I open the cupboard that has a jar, it brings me joy.
I lay completely still. Properly, completely still. I focus all my energy on not moving a single muscle besides what I need to breathe.
Then, while doing that, I try to conjure up elaborate fantasy scenes in my mind.
9 times out of 10 I’m gone within five minutes.
First time I DJd, I cleared the floor because I really wanted to hear Angel on big, club speakers.
No ragerts.
But the FLAC version I have, obviously.
That album is a masterpiece, as far as I’m concerned. I will never tire of it, and it really gives my speakers a workout.
I for one am shocked by this revelation. Shocked.
Fair play, this is top quality confidently incorrect material.
Of course!
I was studying for a radio production degree exactly at the point where radio station budgets were rapidly shrinking, while podcasting was growing. But obviously the degree course didn’t really have any podcasting in the syllabus because it was relatively new. Home streaming wasn’t really a thing at that point either, so we go no tuition on how to set up our own output.
Radio is massively different now than it was then. So yeah, I hear ya.
Radio production.
Got a degree, moved to London, applied for loads of jobs, and… nothing.
Trouble is, I needed to be paid, and at the entry level it’s all unpaid internships and volunteering at community stations. Unless you know someone who can get you through the door, of course.
Stuck with making a podcast in my spare time for a few years, but ultimately lost the spark.
These days I work in health and safety management and stream a radio show every Monday night that about 15 people tune into live, and 30-odd people listen to on Mixcloud. It makes me no money, but I enjoy it.
I assure you we’re open.
The Hobbit is one well crafted movie. Two if you want to hang out the story a little.
The Hobbit is not three fucking movies.
JD walks down the corridor to Peter Gabriel singing The Book of Love while I’m weeping like a baby.
And that’s that. There was no more Scrubs.
Laura Shigihara - Everything’s Alright from To The Moon.
That game made me weep like a baby, so even now, some ten years after playing it for the first time, that song still stirs up those feelings.
And for much the same reason, Daniel Lanois - That’s The Way It Is from Red Dead 2.
If you’ve played it long enough to hear that song, you understand.
