Good excuse to get a bit drunk.

Japanese noodle pots are far better than British ones.

British approach: Let’s get some noodles, add some foreign spice muck dried into a powder in a sachet and sell it.

Japanese approach: Let’s see what creative and delicious noodle treat we can dream up for people.

I’ve suddenly developed a desire to own a leather jerkin. Some of them look very dashing. But if you’re not young and athletic it may not be a great look…

That’s not typical ape behaviour. You make the Arctic Tern look like a couch potato.

That’s extreme. I wouldn’t expect it to be overly cold inside a pocket. That rapid drain reduces it’s utility as an emergency rescue tool…

Two years old? That’s amazing.

The daughter used to come around a lot. Sometimes more than once a day, but I think that was to see her mum while her dad pottered in the shed. So I don’t know if she'll continue.

How do you measure general competence?

I feel sorry for the old man next door. His wife died a few weeks ago and now it’s Christmas.

Well it has its pros and cons doesn’t it? As I use Macchiato I can’t complain about a change to the social site too much. I can’t think of a massive, obvious reason for a move being a bad idea but I’m wary of change. Smallish communities feel nice and cozy. Too small though and they feel desolate. If you made the move and we started using Mastodon apps, I wonder how it would feel. Would it still feel unique and somewhat independent or would it sink into the Mastodon universe and lose its sense of place? Hard to know without trying it. One of the nice things about ADN even when it had tens of thousands of accounts was knowing that it wasn't Twitter and wasn't Facebook. Mastodon isn’t those either so that’s a pro.
