People ask “when did #America ( #USia ) go wrong?” and the obvious answer is; when the population of the British trade administration colony, established to facilitate trade between Britain and a vast planned Native American commonwealth nation, allowed a “sovereign citizen” and 1%er-of-his-day tax cheat, one George Washington, to lead a tax rebellion against his government.

Everything rotten about the #USA, and its national character, comes from their celebration of this crime.

The two happiest moments in a boat owner’s life; when they take delivery of the new boat, and when they sell the boat.

The two happiest moments in a tech user’s life; when they get the new thing, and when the thing stops receiving updates and they’re left behind by progress.

Less than a week after picking up my new* Lindberg glasses, whose notable design feature is a lack of any screws or fixings, a temple screw pops out of a reserve pair of glasses, and I spend 10 minutes crawling on the carpet, scrabbling like a farm animal who can inexplicably use a torch, looking for said temple screw to put the lens back in the frame.

Lindbergs be laughing in Danish nothing-but-bent-wire-and-tension construction.

*First new sunglasses in 24 years.

War Machine was a reasonable movie, right up until the end when it became a nauseating American Military Propaganda recruitment film. You’ll know the part - where the entire backdrops to scenes are the USian flag.

Well, the thousand dollar big multi-drawer workshop toolbox that arrived today (to replace the last one that arrived pre-damaged by having forklift tines smashed into it prior to delivery) is a floor demonstrator, not a new in-box unit, and is just as badly damaged / pre-distressed. So, back to the store it will go. #SydneyTools is going to burn their entire margin on courier fees if they keep this up. #FML

Love the way in the #iOS #Passwords app, I had to delete every saved password for every subdomain of one of my domains, because without fail, Passwords / #Safari would autofill those, instead of the actual saved password for the www. version of the domain, to which I was logging in.

No matter how many times I manually chose the correct password, which is specified for the www version.

Instead of fetishising small houses, why not fetishise small families? Too many of you with more than replacement numbers of children.
