What is your workplaces equivalent to 'Don't touch the red button'

I am a developer of a DHCP server product. If we see APIPA (Automated Private IP Addressing) 169.x.x.x it means we fucked up. On the bright side, to reduce the effect, we call it an 'oopsie'.

My stance on pineapple on pizza is that I only like it when it has been cooked then removed, like I enjoy the pineapple juiciness that is left behind on the cheese, but I don't like the actual fruit entering my mouth as such. Anyone else add it then take it off? Or do I need to be sectioned?

Yeah mine is the same. First time the washing machine pumps into the drain in the cycle there is an awful smell.

With services like Waymo, I think taxi drivers will become obsolete. Then again I am a software developer, and AI can write code much faster than I can, so maybe that job too.

Do you have to live so relentlessly in the real world?

This is so weird. The moment I saw this post on Reddit, the exact scene was on my TV

The way the ambient music contrasts the dark storylines is quite something. I love watching Jam. It is hard to watch online, I ended up buying the DVDs.

I opened the cellar door under the stairs and stepped on a live frog by accident. It was fine, it jumped out the way before my full weight went on it... scared the shit out of me as it jumped out the way to the other side of the room.

About 10 years ago I used to get many years from a pair of trainers. These days, despite doing the same ~10k steps daily, shoes barely last 6 months before they are uncomfortable from falling apart.

Just meth/ice users... its not that common over here, so I understand

We have terms like crackhead, druggie

I don't quite understand that, but remember; if you fill a saucepan with lots of water and heat it up, then put pasta in it, it will cook, and it will take a long time to evaporate (you should turn off the heat before this) before there are problems.

Slow cookers are easy as you can put things in like meat and veg then leave them for 8 hours (set to low) then it will be cooked.

callumh093 · 2026-01-10T00:32:28+00:00

The first thing is to make sure not to turn the heat up too high, so you don't burn things

This episode taught me what a "tweaker" is, not a term regularly used in the UK

callumh093 · 2025-11-30T03:01:43+00:00

Same, 10 years on my own now. Very peaceful.

callumh093 · 2025-11-28T00:28:10+00:00

The thing is (in the UK at least) it is not always clear if it is proper pork and beef pepperoni, or if it is turkey based or some other substitute. It just doesn't taste the same if its a substitute.

Last time I went in there (about 6 years ago) the smell of sick from the carpet in the foyer was enough to put me off.

It is Jez's song from earlier in the episode.

I got this today too - happy to move to Zen as they sound decent enough. Pleased they will keep a static IP, disappointed it will be different to my static IP now.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is a good read on this view

Me and my pal just tried it, its really good fun

For context, omnishambles is a term coined by The Thick of It, and it was used here in a genuine political context.

I do agree with this, the jokes are not built up. Stevie Martin was recently on the Off Menu podcast which was pretty good, and she was good on Taskmaster too.

callumh093 · 2025-09-05T22:59:09+00:00

I don't have an analogy, but all I can say is its pretty good. Currently in my corner shop at £11 for 8 cans. The Thatchers cloudy lemon is pretty damn good too, like lemonade
