My new ringtone will be Wolfson College Cambridge University Team's captain Eric Monkman from Oakville, Canada ringing in with my name on a years-old "University Challenge" show.

@gemlog We have a three-year subscription to NordVPN at 75% discount. It was easy to set up and connect to on my Linux laptop

at long freaking last I am subscribed to a VPN. This is my first VPN-supported toot.

@matera Some fragile Mastodonians would lose their shit if I used the word I wanted to describe browser-sniffing, especially supermarket websites, so I'll just say I find the websites and their project managers' specifications outdated and "attocerebral."

I love it when the people with whom I share mutual followships port their #Mastodon accounts properly. I don't feel slighted when they go to another instance and add people based on their memory.

How did the cowboys manage to cook good steak without thyme-garlic butter?

@dokuja I didn't feel anything. If they're on or around Haida G'waii I'm unlikely to feel them. Nisqually and Duvall quakes i felt. @xmanmonk @gemlog

@xmanmonk They're visible, but if we have those cracks the other houses on our block have them too, and they're getting sold with no problem @gemlog

@xmanmonk Or house has ceiling cracks from previous earthquakes @gemlog

@xmanmonk Yes, that news reaches us even up here. I think we should pull our emergency kit out of storage. (We were hoping for no tremors between July and September) @gemlog

@gemlog But you've seen "The Railrodder." You're more culturally Canadian, which is understandable. @xmanmonk

@xmanmonk Velcroing to a wall @gemlog

@gemlog I know you left when you were young, and your youth was unsettled, but you've been an adult for 40 years. That's like growing up Canadian (1952 - 200?) and not ever seeing the NFB short "The Railrodder" @xmanmonk

@xmanmonk Some of those people are slow to realize they need Alcoholics Anonymous. @gemlog

@gemlog Help! I've fallen onto the floor and I can't get up! @xmanmonk

@xmanmonk I first parsed your answer to mean you didn't, as my assumptions about your birthplace were settled and I was "wait, what?"

@xmanmonk Neither as in "film and rock music enthusiast"? My husband isn't from those areas either, he enjoys the film. I don't know if most North Americans born between those years have seen the film.

Brits and Northern Ireland people: Is the 1964 film "A Hard Day's Night" one that most film and rock music enthusiasts who grew up in those areas between 1948 and 1975 have seen?

This evening we are exposing our young son to the Richard Lester 1964 film "A Hard Day's Night". He thinks it's about a Rutles Tribute Band.
