Skunks are cool.

Cyclist meets family of skunks

Thankfully my current flat can get some airflow.

I have a fan aimed down the passage to get some air to move.

My last flat was the main issue, such a small and square flat and did not allow air to flow easily.

It really should have been a studio flat, remove some walls and it would have opened up and seemed much larger and the air would flow easier.

Yeah, tried that and no difference that I noticed.

Top floor flat, full contact with the sun.

No trees around.

My downstairs neighbour is shielded by the building across the road in the afternoon, he is cooler.

I drank so much water but eventually I just stopped sweating.

11pm would roll around, still 35C and when I woke up in the morning it was still about 30C.

I had all my windows open over night.

Nothing works in my flat or the one before.

All windows open, got a fan blowing with the direction of the breeze.

All windows closed, blinds and curtains closed, close off the warmer rooms.

My thermometer shows no difference day to day in my kitchen area.

I was in the loft in my last flat, sloped ceilings and they had zero insulation. Only the top part of the ceiling where it was flat had insulation. The sloped parts of the ceiling were hot to the touch and it got up to 37.5 Celsius over the one summer.

I put my ear thermometer to my metal keyboard and it read 42 Celsius.

The way the house was positioned, the wind used to blow along it and I only had windows front and back, so zero breeze at all.

Yup, cat got its stuck in a vase, it broke and now they are at the vet.

Not me, but I used to work a role at a company that provided IT services and hardware/support.

We had a team that sat right behind me, basically they supported customer accounts, and they got a new team leader/manager.

She came in on a Friday I believe and the rest of the team were out, Thursday night is party night so most people worked from home Friday.

The next week comes in, IT puts all her equipment on her desk, she isn't there. The next day or so comes around and she isn't there but her team is and someone else strolls over to chat. He mentions he heard they got a new lady boss, where is she?

I say she was in last week, I saw her.

"Is she a looker?"

... this bloody place. Asks nothing about her other than her looks.

Later that week IT comes along and collects her equipment, she had left in under a week. I have no idea what happened but that was the quickest I have seen someone leave and on average we had a very short staff turnover time.

I'd argue that Bojo is also a joke candidate.

Kind of like the Doom Slayer.

When it comes to Elon and Trump, what I assume is:

Whenever they say they are going to do something bad, it is the truth.

Whenever they say they are going to do something good, it is a lie.

Snowflake.

My old boss called me, said please come to my office... my laptop will not turn on and I cannot figure it out.

I get there, he tells me to please help him, he is probably being stupid.

I look at his laptop, I see his charger plugged in, I follow it down the desk, across the floor all the way to the wall socket where the plug lies...

He had walked the charger's plug to the wall socket and just left it on the ground.

I plug it in, he sees me do this, laptop turns on, I leave.

Someone writing on that show had to have worked IT at some stage.

A lot of things that happened in that show resonated with my IT support experience.

I saw some clips on YT where they removed the laugh track.

It's really hard to find the show funny when they take out the bit where it tells you when to laugh.

Half a centaur.

That's just the bedroom.

Back when we used to head over to someone's house for a LAN, there was one guy that had a massive CRT monitor and if he degaussed while our monitors were close to his they'd all degauss.

None of ours were able to trigger other monitors, only his.

That's where it broke down.

It's like a bedside wine rack, 11/10.

Also, wood would not put scratches on all my possessions.
