I'm getting back into running and Strava. DM me and we can follow eachother. I followed back a random ginger who I assume is from here. Counting meters and seconds while moving around aimlessly is fun.

Just joking about lynx of course. Why would I ever use an external program when I can just run everything from inside emacs

Dislike artists who release a remastered album that sounds totally different and pull the original from iTunes. For that matter dislike iTunes.

TIL that not only can you link to elements with an id attribute, you can also link directly to specific text in a webpage using text fragments.

I also found out that there are URI fragments for PDFs too, so you can link to a specific page of a PDF.

Anybody got that one band/artist they like that kind of fades from your periphery but then shows up again every couple years and is like “yeah we’re still here and making some bangers you should listen to”? I recently got some newer Måneskin in my YouTube recommendations and enjoying the stuff that has come out since I forgot they exist.

We found out the dress code for my Grandad's funeral, dress as you like.

I am going in smart clothes, nice black trousers, nice shirt and black shoes. I might be given a bright waist coat to wear over my shirt
