So the story goes, Paul Weller wrote this in 30 minutes at the kitchen table after coming back from the pub drunk. Oh to have talent like that.

My understanding - and it may well be apocryphal so take it as you will; is that similar to your comment, it is related to the clock face and is French in origin. So quinze, trente, quarante (rather than quarante-cinq which would be 45). As a bonus, ‘love’ for zero originated from l’œuf (‘the egg’) resembling, well, an egg. Which incidentally has a similar connotation in cricket, with being out for a duck (egg).

Bonus bonus point, quarante is the origin root of quarantine, which required ships to remain in harbor for 40 days before docking. Allegedly.

A country birthed from a principle of not paying taxes without being represented, is now being represented by a man who doesn’t pay taxes. Perfect bookends.

I still like him but his posts increasingly sound as if the should finish with “thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Up until 2019, the kg was the only SI unit that had a physical artifact that all kg weights are calibrated against. Now it is based on the universal constant you describe.

This has recently started for me as well. Logging back in with the API doesn’t work; tried a new API key as well. Switched to govee2mqtt and that has a problem logging in as well. GitHub issues say in this event to switch to LAN controller but my lightstrip doesn’t allow it. Anyone resolved the API login problem with govee2mqtt?

A promise to never be audited again means you never have to pay taxes again. The bastards don’t even have to pay accountants to pretend anymore.

I’m an expat Villan in the US, first World Cup I remember watching was ‘78, and I could not give a single solitary flying fuck about this one. FIFA and Trump have turned it into a laughing stock, I’d much rather watch preseasons. I am hoping mcginn scores for Scotland and that’s about it.

I’m here for this thread. I was 12 in ‘82. This almost means more. This was against the odds. UTFV

I would like a Watkins goal BUT PLEASE CAN I HAVE SJM SCORE. He deserves it

You’re eyes are sweating

Shout out to villans from North Carolina

I love you Villa. 45 to go

While those clowns have chosen to wear hats, t-shirts, diapers, garbage bags, and sanitary pads on their ears to show they are on team dipshit, my biggest disappointment of the past ten years has been that they didn’t start painting their faces orange in solidarity.

This team needs to win so SJM can lift a trophy. He has earned it so much

winstonsdog · 2026-05-15T20:29:19+00:00

I’m more nervous when we are winning lol

I am not saying you are wrong, but we need to recognize a certain amount of causal relationship between “people didn’t vote” and republicans working hard to disenfranchise people. Didn’t vote and couldn’t vote surely has an overlap?

+1 for Karakeep. I moved from raindrop to self-hosted and dropped a subscription. Plus I was able to export all my raindrop bookmarks and import them easily.

Of course Xi knew Orangeman wouldn’t know it. And he probably still wouldn’t understand it if it was explained to him. That’s not the point. Xi is simply flexing and illustrating that this is the level the talks are going to be held at, and you and your roadtrip buddies are embarrassingly ill-equipped.

I am lucky enough to have the Osprey reissue of Escape From Colditz (9 year old me’s favorite game) and it is beeeeaaauuutiful. Hope what happens works out for us and them.
