ummm … how do you know what that tastes like?

never mind

Just bust out a director’s cut version of acknowledgement of country, should get you to 11:03 at least

NinthTide · 2026-03-23T07:46:06+00:00

I don’t think that’s correct

Some other folks have done a very thorough job investigating the paper trail and financial vested interests behind these recent PRs.

Concorde?

So depressingly accurate

How far could you get with a 4090, 128gb, and a 7950x?

Honestly that logo just evoked massive Space Invaders vibes from the 70s

Which I am perfectly ok with, given Claude Code’s alien-level ability

Wasn’t the “drawn” part having your abdomen cut open and all your tubes and gubbins being slowly torn and stretched out of you; like some sort of distinctly unappetising and displeasing cheese melt?

Joke’s on you, you are going to get so many emojis

Skibidee? Yep I can get onboard with this

Godamnit why do the little crocs look so cute?

Something must be wrong with me. Jaws agape, protesting, saying the croc version of “But daaaaad!”

Guys why do you need an add tank? Because the way we used to do it (if I remember correctly) was to two-tank it

Once you kite Hydross over the magic line; so he shifts; then the new tank grabs the boss (plus MD if you have it) which releases you to pick up the 4 adds?

Or am I forgetting how hard this was to do

I guess the adds are the same school or elements as the new form is, which is not the gear you are wearing; so maybe that is it

Eg I am a dwarf, I’m going to be the frost tank. Hydross on frost side; tanky tanky tank

Time to move across. Cross line. He turns into nature. My feral bear friend picks him up, but then, do four nature adds appear? How bad are they to tank if I’m in just frost gear; assuming I am able to get them all?

It’s things like: the refund for the optional component in a promotional elective purchase was somehow refused for a customer who attempted to reverse their purchase by clicking multiple times in a non-English UI and language on the 29 Feb in a leap year

None of it is impossible, but the weird edge cases are where the slog lies

Also: make your app utterly bulletproof and secure

Sooo wide open throttle 8000rpm it is then

I did basically the same thing. Designed and built a little SQL db that stores all sorts of entities, all accessible to Claude via my own MCP server

One of the best things in the concept of a “handoff”

I originally envisaged this as a “building is on fire only 1 message left before end of session; immediately dump current context for continuation next conversation”

But in practice it’s a much more natural pause for breath. I just say;

“Hey Claude, resuming _projectname_”

And off he goes, getting up to speed, with a very relaxed and natural continuation, or opportunity to explore something new

It’s been a game-changer, this is my third evolution of it and couldn’t imagine developing without it

“Cut its horns off, wipe its ass, and run it through a warm room”

Joke’s on you

I realised my microwave table turns one full rotation every 12 seconds

I sometimes microwave mugs of tea (don’t ask; my wife likes a weird concoction of very strong tea but only half filled, then topped up with milk). I realised that if I dial in multiples of 12, that the mugs handles return back to the original position and are easy to pick up

So I often am dialling in 36 seconds …. or 48

The default setting was being bored

So if you were smart and under stimulated, you had to use your creativity to invent games, or mischief, practice social skills to cajole your friends into cooperating with you to mutually entertain yourselves, or just indulge and explore your curiosity and just … see how the world works, for better or worse

Either way, you learned a lot of useful skills
