My country did qualify (Scotland) so I’ll be up for a few VERY late sessions in the pub (our first game kicks off at 2am our time!) 😁🍻😴

Yep. And we’ve managed to draw 2 of the 3 teams we played in that tournament (Brazil and Morocco) - what are the chances?! 🙄

Claaaaaaaaaammmmmmmp!

Clamp!

CLAMP CLAMP CLAMP.

Sadly not! 😁

My client conversations are spread across different messaging platforms, and sometimes important or more detailed discussions just get buried or overlooked.

Yep, I have exactly this problem too. Instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, and email, between and across multiple clients.

To bring it all together we tried using Trello - and now instructions/feedback are spread across Teams messages, phone calls, video calls, email and Trello.

It’s basically XKCDMultipleStandards.jpg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Definitely Grover. I had a brilliant Grover book as a kid, called The Monster at the End of This Book, and I’ve always loved that blue rascal ever since 😁

Yeah, I’ve never heard of it being used to target people with disabilities (although looking it up, I see it can be used that way, TIL) - I’ve only ever thought of it as a judgement on character/behaviour. Like I’d have no issue with anyone describing Trump as a degenerate, because he’s a sick, twisted, vindictive, corrupt prick.

I think this is the exact plot of The Discovery on Netflix. In the film, it leads to a lot of suicide.

Might make more of a statement to simply remove the US flag and have nothing there.

Replacing it with something else makes it look like you’ve chosen a cause in preference to the USA.

Removing it simply says that you are no longer showing support for the US, with no other message. Also less likely to make you a target.

Al Green - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?

When he sings, “Cos mine is”, it gets me right there. See also “How can you mend… this broken man…” 😭

In a nuclear war loads of people wouldn’t die but would love unhappily ever after.

I think it’d be hard to get into the mood at all tbh.

If they made history, then they are historic, not historical. Well, they’re historical too, to be fair.

Cool - hope you enjoy it 😁

This doesn’t answer your question at all, but if you’re interested in undersea cables, you may enjoy Jon Bois’ brilliant and bizarre history of the telegraph, and especially the 3rd and 4th parts (although it’s all very worth watching).

A degree of familiarity with 90s sitcom Home Improvement would also be helpful, though not essential.

Yeah, that was definitely a smart move.

Wow, turns out Einstein was pretty smart! 😁

One of them calls me Betty.
