Elevator pitch

Nice day for it

Can't believe Woolies had a sign up saying that due to shortages customers would have to engage in a full contact battle Royale, and the winner could have their pick of bread and bottled water! #CycloneAlfred

Nothing worse than putting away a huge trove of laundry, then immediately needing to pull something back out of the wardrobe. Except for tuberculosis I guess.

I was struggling to upgrade a project that had legacy Sass styles along with Tailwind to TW4 because the new @​layers feature made the utility classes unable to override my legacy styles. Solution was just to wrap the old sass code in @​layer component {} to demote them

Need an AI browser extension to complete CAPTCHAs for me

Your UI will almost always need to change once you get more realistic data into your system, so try to get it in sooner rather than later

Do you ever need to work out when a sequence of events should start or finish? Don't want to do the time maths in your head? I made Then When to chain time intervals together. thenwhen.bytebox.dev

Riding passenger princess so I can keep hacking

Road tripping to the Real Australia (where the service greeting becomes "You right?")

The venn diagram of my daily concerns and werewolves have diverged a lot since I was 7

Nice side effect of using semantic HTML elements like section and article, and the odd aria-description is that navigating your own code can be easier. You have some landmarks in a sea of Divs to make it more scanable.

AWS S3 has over 400 trillion objects but it still feels good to clean up a few old ones from my account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXeh...

Why are we implementing it that way? Brawndo is what plants crave. Yes, but why Brawndo? Could we use water? Brawndo is what plants crave.

The screen on my 3 year old phone is in perfect condition thanks to the protector I bought. Impressive since I never got around to putting it on

I like that Brisbane's a relaxed place, but I think we could stand to give a little honk when someone is ignoring their green light.

Cinemas are so hostile to their customers. Book tickets online? Pay a booking fee even though it's faster and cheaper to serve you this way. No prices anywhere near the pre-boxed popcorn because we know people will pay whatever.

Not enough people are talking about the intersection of AI and IoT. It's one thing to have robot overlords, it'll be another entirely to have your AirFryer sass you while you're slaving in the cobalt mines.

This was a Karen's Diner. Turns out being yelled at while you eat wasn't a sustainable business shocked Pikachu

Me: searches for petrol on the way home Google Maps: *very long pause* then this. Nailed it.

or touch mould as an insult

I definitely don't need one of these things, but my god they are aesthetic. So is the site. https://teenage.engineering/products/tp-7

Every 2–4 years I come across egg cup holders in the kitchen and remember how good soft boiled eggs with toast are, until I forget a couple of weeks later.

There's a special collective embarrassment when you're in a group of pedestrians waiting for another cycle of the traffic lights because no one pressed the button. Nothing to do but avoid eye contact and think about who's fault it was.

I'm glad they're not cutting, but there seems to be no limit to how far away you can stand after ordering without someone asking if you're waiting to be served. Today I waited two council jurisdictions & one timezone away after ordering coffee and still had someone check if I was in line.
