Nah. 2016 was the end. We had Trump1, Brexit, lost Prince, David Bowie, and George Michael, and then that Starmer twat started the process of eviscerating the Labour Party.
Consistently downhill ever since.
If only I could restore from backups and re-run in a VM until it comes out right!
@bytebro @Exagone313 @devxvda I mean, in the US Sandy Hook was in 2012… and I did feel like I was entering a parallel universe sitting in the lab as the news came out.
@bytebro @Exagone313 @devxvda what you’re describing are shutdown artifacts. Spurious little blips and shudders as complex machinery halts.
@bytebro
Yeah. AND it was the year I left Llangollen to spend more time babysitting grandchildren in Central Brexitshire.
@Exagone313 @devxvda
Many years ago, I did a canal trip with friends up there, and went down (up?!) that Llangollen canal branch. Lovely place.
@bytebro
Yes. And a great community to live in. Plenty of oddballs, artists, lefties, LGBTQ and just old school decent people. Unlike here which is at best 'conservative'. I've been back twice by boat and several times by car to go to the International Eisteddfod. Going by boat again next year.
@Exagone313 @devxvda
@bytebro @pthane @Exagone313 @devxvda Up. The Llangollen canal is a feeder of Welsh hill water into the rest of the canal system, the current is more noticeable as you approach Llangollen.
Lovely canal, though we haven't navigated it ourselves since October 2020 when we also did the Montgomery branch.
@marjolica @bytebro @Exagone313 @devxvda Since we left 10 years ago I've been back twice by boat and several times by car for the Eisteddfod. Was hoping to go by boat this year but the canal breached near Whitchurch. Hoping to go next year but probably earlier in the year, water shortage are getting to be a problem in July...
@bytebro @Exagone313 @devxvda seems like this was also the year a weasel got into the the CERN particle accelerator, maybe we’re all *lost*
@bytebro @Exagone313 @devxvda
WWIII started in 2016, but hardly anyone noticed.
