Yesterday we valiantly girded our loins and embarked on Scone Fetch Quest 2023.
We hunted down yesterday’s quarry at a garden center, making our way past the artisanal jam and boiled sweet selection, battling many a cheerfully smiling lady asking “Do you have a tray?”.
It was a formidable challenge.
Tray ladies seemed to jump up from behind counters of sponge cake, cupcakes and pork pies. One even ambushed me on the hoof, brandishing a tray with determination as I passed the pasties, yelling “You alright love?! Do you WANT A TRAY?!”
Being the rebels we were, we resisted the tray until we spotted our quarry–2 scones. Behemoths the size of small planets–sitting by a small sign promising fresh strawberries, clotted cream, and a choice of jam.
We acquired our prey, along with tea that could conquer the stomach of the strongest warrior (+2 fortitude), coffee that bequeathed charisma on the drinker. (+5 nice person).
The serving lady then looked at us with a triumphant sniff announcing. “You’ll need a tray to carry all that, WON’T YOU?!”
We got a tray the balance to the universe was restored…
We located a seat with maximum view of our surroundings because there is nothing better than watching the English getting their metaphorical knickers off for cake, then spent 5 minutes arguing on whether or not jam or cream should go first.
Quest completed. Waddling home achieved. Next week we shall brave the local tea shop.
The saga continues…
Many of us have seen Microsoft’s disability chart, with examples categorized as permanent, temporary, and situational.
But in her talk last month, “Ensuring your secure digital assets are accessible,” @volkswagenchick pointed out a fourth category: episodic disabilities.
Someone with, for example, HIV, cancer, lyme disease, or depression, may have some days that are better than others. A task that is possible now may not be possible later, and vice versa.
Heads up, this guy was walking the yard trying to recruit additional revolutionaries to join the orcas and otters, which could suggest a shift to land based operations.
In reply to @StillIRise1963.
@StillIRise1963 God that would suck, I hope the rest of your day calms down.

This is amazingly fucked up. Broadcasters are trying to pass a new standard for broadcasting that allows them to encrypt their broadcasts.
This means that people who use antennas to watch television will have to pay to upgrade their equipment and then pay on top of that to actually watch.
The airwaves are a limited resource that broadcasters get free access to. This amounts to a huge policy change that steals a common resource for corporate gains.
We made it to Friday, everyone! Great work, team.
