God, I wish I was watching Under Siege or mopping or something.
I'm having a shit, and I've locked the door. Can't risk anyone coming in to talk about their emotions.

Jesus fuck. Please send lawyers guns and money, to get me out of this.
I'm not at work. At home with people in my house. Some of whom are having emotions and shit like that. FFS.
I do have quite a nice bottle of Primitivo on the go. So that's helping.

Wait, I probably oughtn't actually. I do sometimes do mopping as part of my job, it's true. So, yes, I can give pointers:
- Make sure the mop is clean to start with -- give it a good rinse out.
- Don't use a ridiculous excess of detergent, it's just a waste.
- Use really hot water.
- Put your back into it properly, it's meant to be hard work.
- The floor shouldn't be left like there's been a flood, mop back up any excess water.
- Change the water and re-rinse the mop if the water gets too dirty.
- The light switch is in a stupid place, you need to do the mopping, then turn the light off, and reverse out, mopping where you've just walked in the dark.
A surprising number of people don't actually mop very well or effectively, unless you tell them how to do it, and nag them consistently when it's not done well enough.

whatalarkYou do get hdmi to optical or coaxial digital converters. But a new spdif cable will be cheaper to try first. Always good to have a back up plan. This is obviously not the chatterbox way though. Ooof, poor amipal. Right in the smackers. |

Did anyone see the Scotland Poland game last night? Finished 3-2 to Poland, sounds like it must have been a right cracker.

Isn’t wild calling when you camp in the countryside, outside a campsite? Verboten in England. But … allowed … in Scotland. Yes, and wild swimming is swimming in an outdoors body of water. You can just call them camping and swimming though. |

What's all this Wild Camping stuff the insta kids are going on about? Oh, you mean camping. *Siri insert Grampa Simpson meme* It's where they sleep after they've done their Wild Swimming. |

Segueing from Hard Drive chat to keyboard chat was a great move, btw. Think Felice has probably gone forever, so we can probably all safely get back to Tay Tay and Buffy chat.

amipalHow big is the drive and how full? If you're getting an hour you could try making an image of the drive, then unplugging and mount the image - then try to recover from that? For Disk Utility to create an image of the disk, I’d need 3TB spare… Sacrifice one of the RAID discs, remove it and use it with a USB to SATA adaptor? Or try a different connector for the disk that isn't mounting properly? |

Oops. You need at least two copies of all data you want to keep. That is why I have such a ridiculous amount of storage. I'm thinking of getting a new big HD next time they are reasonably cheap. I thought I had it all sorted: 1 x 3TB disk to copy photos to 1 x 3TB disk as my Time Machine backup for the system disk Then a dual disk RAID enclosure, with 2 x 3TB disks where I’d backup the photo drive to, the RAID taking care of duplication. The weak point in this plan was the need for me to manual copy files from the Photo drive to the RAID disks… I have no idea how said backup is so out of date. I’d been ensuring that copies were done once a month. And yet the latest I have is 2021! To say I’m angry with myself is an understatement. Still, those 2021 photos are pretty safe. Silver linings and all. |

My guess is that the Grenfell report will be along the lines of ‘It’s complicated’. I don’t think people will be happy, though, unless one person can be identified as the kingpin - the crux. The blame donkey. And you're saying that's Tuffers? An interesting fact to know, thank you. |

Shenguin wrote this yesterday: "Today was a non-drinking day" Can anyone explain this? A non-drinking day is a day where, for reasons of health and emotional well-being, you plan to forgo alcohol. Naturally, the universe tends to intercede on alcohol's behalf, and you find yourself an unwilling participant in a chaotic binge of dangerous proportions. |

Quick tip if your car fails the MOT then just get really pissed and have a massive fight with your wife of 18 years, break up, and then you'll save enough money when people buy you beers the next night that you can pay for the MOT repairs. Though I don't think his car has even been for an MOT recently, so fuck knows what he was thinking. Sheep was your wife of 18 years? No, not unless I'm really really confused. I spent 7 hours in a pub with a mate, who seems to be recently single, and currently struggling to see the upsides. Today was a non-drinking day; it didn't quite work out. |
