I was surprised it linked directly to youtube and not some url shortener, so props to the creator for that
a while back there was an article I read of an actual snake on an actual plane flying between Australia and New Guinea, similar issue - the snake was trapped in the bodywork and came out when the engine got a bit too warm and unfortunately died when they were flapping around in the airstream ... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-20975601
... sometimes it takes a goodly while to recognise your life goal ... now I just need a Dutch cargo bike and a long spoon ...
was legit wondering whether her head could clear the ledge there ...
they are walking, their front legs continue and their back legs just ... stop ...
I sing Georgian music without knowing a word of Georgian, Svan or any of the dialects that the song is in ...
that was my thinking also - moves were way too coordinated
also, the Zoo is in this image also - follow the wing out to the middle, go down in the image to find the two prominent blue outdoor hockey fields ... just to their left is the Melbourne Zoo
#2 - I can totally see where I work in this image. also, welcome to Melbourne ... :)
you know, there was a recent post on here pointing out that after 50-ish years Voyager 1 was almost 1 light day away from Earth and I was kinda jealous ...
love the word halp - it's mostly help ... but not quite ...
nope - the UI displays in my localtime, so that would be 2026-11-18T10:16:07UTC
shuttling the simulation back and forth, I get a 1 light day at Nov 18, 2026 09:16:07 PM ... but I'm not sure what timezone that is ... possibly UTC?

do they have an estimate for when that will happen? I'd like to plan a party ...
so there was this time I forgot to put the parking brake on in my car when we were on a car ferry ... that was an odd conversation to have with my insurance - that my car had hit another when neither were running, nor had drivers ...
I once did some work in a telephone exchange originally build in the 30s with similar art-deco features ... it was quite the contrast between modern racks of server and comms kit on a suspended floor and ornate tiling and plaster detail ... plus a hefty amount of asbestos behind it all, very likely ...
I think if anyone in that lot gets a zombie bite they're definitely gonna hide it until it's too late to do anything about it ...
you honestly have to wonder how much time they take crafting a sentence that can be read two ways ... it's a definite skill one has to master ... and yet they seem to do it so effortlessly, so mad props to them for that ...
basic instructions for table service, yeah, I think you're rght ...
I think the note is in Norwegian? "ta sopper, ta ut burger, fyll små ting" -> "take mushrooms, take out burger, fill small things" ... which still doesn't make a lot of sense, granted ...
yeah, probably, in retrospect ... although they seemed to offer a bunch of different domains so it didn't stand out particularly ... the article I'd read was that the creator was doing some shady shit to the point that archive.org kicked them out - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/
ah, why didn't I think of doing this? I'd previously used archive.is and friends but heard recently they're a bit skeevy these days ...
I recall seeing a documentary about assisted living in the Netherlands where they will take detailed photographs of your front door to then make life-sized prints to decorate your apartment/ward door ...
he needs to learn to bend with the knees
this would be my first Fry squinting at me though, so thanks for that ... :)
