neb: SpaceX achieving ISO 9000 levels of repeatability:

SN7... exploded.
SN8... exploded.
SN9... exploded.
SN10... exploded.

ISO 9000 process repeatability achieved.

Very successful repetitive test of the emergency self destroy function. ;-)

You keep doing the same thing, you keep getting the same results.

Apparently SN15 has some significant upgrades, so until then, keep the popcorn handy on launch days.

Apps and web pages the hide passwords when you are entering them. Why, why, why!

Man this made me smile. Great feel good moments. Not sure why it ended up in my feed, since I don't follow tennis, but it's still great.

Ingram’s download cart button that gives a clean csv file. It even changes speech marks in the product description for inches to IN.

Being presented with ads for condoms on Geekzone. Quite reassuring to see that the internet doesn't really know all that much about me.

Rewatching Black Books onto episode 1x05 - when Manny locks Bernard out of the shop by accident, runs back to the desk and writes on some paper, runs back to the door and holds up a paper sign up to the door that reads "I think I've locked you out!" and Bernard is cursing and shouting, visibly agreeing - Manny runs back to the desk to write another note and brings it back - it reads "Oh No!"

And later on...

Bernard sitting at his desk, smoking

Customer (David Walliams!): You know, I'm probably getting quite a lot of secondary smoke from you

Bernard: Pff. Don't worry about it. Get me a drink sometime

Owhiro Bay this evening. BMW station wagon with rear door up. Big gas bottle,on the ground next to the back wheel connected to small bbq INSIDE the boot. Woman cooking and smoke was billowing throughout the car and out of all the open windows.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the ~~service~~ petrol station must have run out of smokey sausage scented car freshener.

Was at a book launch yesterday and talking to an older divorced journalist who was wearing a very nice blazer with patch pockets. I complimented him on the striking colour. He responded that yes it was new and very nice but he couldn’t wear it to work because it didn’t have any pockets. I grinned and went to the kitchen, got some scissors, made him take it off and proceeded to unpick all the stitched down pockets and back flaps while he looked on in thrilled awe.

I hate it when that happens.
