Was driving in Auckland today. As always, terrible drivers. When I tried to change lanes the muppet accelerated into the spot where I was heading, nearly hit me.
Very happy less than a minute later when a Policeman popped out, turned on his lights, and pulled him over.

Bees!
Beeeeeeeeees

I saw a flicker out of my peripheral vision. Couldn't figure out what it was.
Another flicker.
I ended up staring directly at the Snipping Tool and while I did *nothing* it zoomed out. And then it zoomed again. ... and again
It's like there's a ghost in the computer.
What is happening
Goddamn software updates!
Bazzite popped up some announcement and when I clicked on it the announcement disappeared and cannot be found again.
Microsoft Windows, wow, bloody hell. This is like the "million monkeys with typewriters" experiment trying to write Shakespeare but instead they're writing The World's Most Expensive And Advanced Operating System. There's a window that keeps changing its size. I don't even know why. This was working fine for the past decade but today it doesn't work.
Yes! Take that Goldsmith, you lying liar who has harmed so many people.
> While these numbers could still change slightly once the special votes were counted, there was no path back to Parliament for list-only Willis, nor senior National MPs Paul Goldsmith (Epsom) and Chris Bishop (Hutt South) who both lost their electorate races.
Here’s another Etta James tune remixed as drum n bass.
At Last (Amplify Remix)
Played by Chase and Status at Tomorrowland (37:05 mark in the set)

What is the drum n bass tune with the vocal sample: “oooooh sometimes I get a feeling, feeling like I’ve never never had before”
Could be High Contrast? Logistics?
Heck of a lot of songs that it is *not*.
UPDATE: vocalist is Etta James

ANOTHER UPDATE: It’s Logistics — Call Me Back

This morning when I shaved I left a triangular goatee and then went around telling people I do *not* have an evil twin, which ended up causing a lot of suspicion and plenty of follow up questions.
You’ll be going to gaol for one of two reasons:
You don’t know how to correctly tag which country your politics nonsense applies to. For shame.
Or it’s NZ-related and that’s not allowed on Election Day:
https://elections.nz/guidance-and-rules/advertising-and-campaigning/rules-once-voting-starts-and-on-election-day
> Don’t post anything to social media or a website on election day that could influence voters. Also make sure your profile pictures on social media don’t include anything that could influence voters.
For just one day I will not be consigning USpol posts into the mute pile, never to be read by me.
But if one person mentions voting after 00:00 NZ time on Saturday you’ll be going into the gaol.
Dear LazyWeb,
Is Kings Seed is the best place for getting vege seeds in Aotearoa NZ?
Any tips / coupons / referral codes / suggestions?
Enthusiastically watching birds and trying to identify them helps your brain.

For rushed Halloween decorations I have a parking space outside for witches to park their brooms and one space is reserved for electric only.
Someone has parked a vacuum cleaner in it.
Has anyone braved the WPA2-Enterprise or whatever other tomfoolery schools in Aotearoa New Zealand are doing and got their NetworkManager-controlled laptop onto the WiFi?
Specifically asking for "SHC_BYOD" if you're familiar with that. Need to know what options for "Authentication" and the other tick boxes at the top.
What's the best emoji response to an incriminating message?
I'm reading a dry court room report that someone responded "100" to their co-conspirator.
What would I write back?
"emoji of man stroking his chin but also pointing at a cloud bearing the logo of a software brand that is cycling through multiple colours as though illuminated by party lights"

Here is some variety of bird nest fungus #Nidula that we spotted on the weekend.
01:38 murder cat, who during the day time is very friendly and has made lots of friends and is visiting all the neighbours, has been safely returned to his owner on the far side of town.
He had hopped into a tradie’s car and rode all the way over here. Not the first time, it seems!
You’ll never guess what attacked our ducks last night at 01:38!
