Amazing.

To even have the balls to count the "probable" causes in your stats is to have absolute balls in your stats.

Well done Uganda Squad, you have done the world proud.

(If anyone thinks this is a piss take then no - identifying, confronting, and clearing one of humanities biggest threats is no laughing matter. Max respect.)

I'm in the same boat. My other half has been stuck with me for nearly twenty years now and bigger and better things have come up that have needed the money spent on it.

The bit of paper will come in handy if one of us kicks the bucket though, or even when it comes to claiming certain tax allowances in the UK. I just want to make sure they're sorted financially when I end up brown bread, and proving their connection to me is going to me one of the last things on the list in the immediate aftermath of a bereavement.

I'm not arsed one way or another about it though.

Somewhere in the North Sea: "Kapitan-Leytenant, we have discovered a new experimental craft called HMS ShitBird, appears to have undetectable propulsion systems and carries a significant biological payload"

Somewhere in Thames Water HQ: "yeah mate we fixed the blockage, we just managed to dislodge Barry from Kettering's massive jobby and let it out into the sea"

No, but I suspect the last line qualifies it's inclusion, where her"status" and presence in the media field gave her an opportunity to amplify her story and provide the visibility it needed to get her freed.

I love modern printers.

We have a super fancy one in work that requires one to log in (or fob in with an NFC-style tag), to enable access to their own virtual print queue or printer services.

Weirdly, if it doesn't shut down correctly (software failure, power cut, flicked at the wall switch etc), it reboots but with some quirks like not enabling the 10 second auto logout.

It's satisfying as fuck walking up to a printer that's still signed in, scrawling a comedy dick in red pen on a bit of A4 paper, and using the cloud scan function to scan it and have it directly emailed to the user as a PDF.

I'm pretty sure there's some serious security issues there but it's funnier to hear someone's "new email" tone, and their eyes widen when they've got an email attachment from themselves making a suggestion that they crudely be elsewhere, or who see a masterpiece drawing of a hairy rocket with a helium leak manifesting itself from the very top.
