The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming, The Vengabus is coming, the Vengabus is coming

I’ve been waiting for the next Vengabus since 1998. Our public transport infrastructure is a fucking joke.

I agreed completely until Downsizing came out. What the fuck was that movie even about?

Technology Connections touched on this.

Well, I say ‘touched’…

The thing I find particularly annoying about W is that they could have just forked BlueSky and set up the first serious AtProtocol federation.

Can we be like the Beneluxians or Scandinavians instead?

I can’t believe that no-one has posted this incredibly useful and relevant video yet:

I still say “wash in cool or cold water” occasionally.

In 2015 I turned down an excellent job in the Netherlands - a country I see myself retiring in - because I had an even better job coming up in the UK at the EMEA campus of a major global corporation. Then Brexit hit, and our incompetent, populist government paralyzed themselves by making multiple contradicting promises, pissing off everyone else in Europe, presuming the most extreme implementation of Brexit imaginable to satisfy some kind of nationalist bloodlust, and refusing to entertain any kind of diplomacy or moderation. The company I was starting with waited as long as they could but ultimately had to throw in the towel - how could they have their EMEA headquarters in a country that wouldn’t even commit to allowing foreigners visit, let alone live and work here - and they shut the campus and all the jobs moved to EU countries. Desperate I took a series of miserable underpaying jobs in shitty towns. It took me eight years to find a job that would allow me to pay rent consistently and even though I like my current role it pays about a third what I would have been earning, even before adjusting for inflation.

So I wish I’d taken that job in the Netherlands: I could have citizenship by now and reclaimed the freedom and opportunity that was taken from me.

Any job that involves moving around in four dimensions. I can’t imagine that at all.

It varies, but so far this month (day 11) I’m at 80GB and 300GB a month isn’t unusual. At home and work I typically get 500+ Mbps download so I don’t tend to bother with WiFi. I’m currently paying £12/mo for a SIM-only service.

Year of Hell is one. The episode where they discover that the entire ship and crew are replicas and they’re slowly coming apart is another.

Depending on the store TGTT bags can be amazing or… not so much. One store near me will always include fresh fruit, veg, meats, rolls, cans… another will just hand over a bag with like ten kilos of sliced ham in it.

TGTT with a freezer is a game-changer, though.

Yeah, that’s not a straw, though. It’s like a redwood. A forest of redwoods.

Another song by The Killers has the line “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier” repeated over and over again with increasing intensity. It’s hard to imagine a less meaningful lyric without actually resorting to nonsensicalness.

Headphones. I have my commuting headphones, walking headphones, working headphones, video game headphones, music headphones… I also have two pairs of earphones.

I could get down to two pairs of headphones and one pair of earphones.
