  “I don’t know how they know, but half the lost cats in this neighbourhood end up in my middle kid’s bedroom, up the trellis, across the carport roof, and in the window. It’s like there’s a sign or something” “Like that one?” “Where!” “Oh, you don’t have the Sight? It says ‘total softie lives here, will give tuna and boops then carry you home’” #Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot #Title_Hobo_Sign

  Good news, the mouse plague is going to get solved soon! Thank Hera, I’m so over this. Wait, none of your ideas are ever disaster free. What’s the catch. Oh, this isn’t my idea; I just calculated that it’s happening. What’s happening? Next full moon— —you mean Thursday or the one after? Next moon and this moon mean the same thing, people who argue otherwise are On My List.

  RE: https://aus.social/@Unixbigot/117312573938682192 I’ve been using and evaluating alternatives to Raspberry Pi for many years. Hit me up if you want a single board computer reccomendation. I also have a bunch of alternatives in stock leftover from reviews and projects. Finally, if you’re building a project around a raspberry pi, that’s a totally understandable starting point for a rapid prototype. My day job is helping people to make the post-prototype revision(s) cheaper and more reliable by...

  Sleep apnoeia is no fun. The risk of dying is quite obviously shit, of course. The comorbidity with snoring brings further risk (spousally induced concussion), but the massive joy killer is the constant tiredness. The first thing you notice when you get treated is the spring in your step; you are having sleep that actually refreshes. It might be a while later until you introspect about the dreams. Maybe you never remembered your dreams much, or—thanks to interrupted REM phase—you never...

  Welcome to our museum. Here at the Society For Lyrical Retrorepair, we use timewar-surplus vortex manipulators to send our chronomuse volunteers back in time to inspire musicians who would otherwise go to recording with an embarrassing "la la la la" placeholder in their songs. This is our main trophy room; these are all golden records for songs that we improved. Down this way you will find the Paul Simon wing... #Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot

  Given that it's pretty hecking clear that Brisbane will be embarrassingly unready for the 2032 Olympics, they should skip an Olympiad and hold Brisbane in 2036. Auspicious anniversary for the ruling Literal Nazi Party innit.

  It was one of those odd-job kiosks you find in every shopping mall, usually near the escalators. “MISTRESS MINIT - Keys Cut, Shoe repairs, battery replacements, spells, potions” “Uh, hi” I said, how much is a potion of forgetting? This Mistress Minit was one of those no nonsense gen-X witches, short hair going silver, trousers and vest in a deep purple, almost black. “Depends luv, on how deep you need to forget. Henbane is in short supply due to that mess in Ukraine.” “How much to forget...
