Ich frage mich, warum in Hotels nicht von vornherein immer mindestens so viele Haken für Jacken/Handtücher/Duschtücher vorhanden sind, wie die Anzahl der Personen in der Unterkunft bei Maximalbelegung.
Das kostet nicht die Welt, der Platz wäre auch vorhanden, aber 🤷‍♀️
Ich habe nun zumindest Handtuchmarkierbänder dabei, spiele aber mit der Idee, Klebehaken anzubringen (und nach dem Aufenthalt zu entfernen)

@rallias Yeah, I’ve gotten myself out of some pretty hairy situations. Thankfully I do nothing important on masto 🤣 Double thankfully I seem to mostly get myself out of those situations!

Worst was when I killed my linux install (wiped most of the hard drive through misuse/misunderstanding of a backup utility, ironically 😵‍💫), but had a .zip of all the contents from the day before, so I lost 1 day of posts.

This time I just went through all the dependencies again and grabbed a couple I had missed (had assumed the step where it says it installs dependencies included system ones - D’oh!) and missed one very similar looking command which the admin dashboard told me about.

300+ posts now reloaded, and it’s slowly catching up after the initial burst.

Definite #FirstWorldProblem

Post-dusk, ventured outside in the freezing gale to fetch in the red-lid bin from last night. Yes it has been emptied sometime today, so dunno what the deal was with the rest of the street [usually many houses have bins out each week, not just rarely like me]. However, "emptied" needs heavy qualification. For months & months [given i only need to put it out with the blue moons] i've been hoping the truck driver would actually make his robotic arm shake the bloody thing, coz no matter how often i afterwards lament & try rearranging it, for several cycles now the bin is never fully "empty". The stupid design that tapers the sides inwards as one looks from top to bottom means that the initial paper bags of rubbish seem to wedge themselves in, so that gravity alone is not enough. This is so totally embarrassingly shamefully merely a #FirstWorldProblem, yet even allowing for that... tis the principle of the thing! Might even say the Dennis Denuto thing, except absence of vibe is part of the problem.

Typing this whilst 'off-grid' north east of Brecon in South Wales. Staying in a pod with Junior Spanghero Junior and there's no electricity to the site, water is mostly harvested and to a central block. 4G available though*, as there's no escape from mobile 'phones except my kitchen and back garden!

*Partly my own fault as I work in the industry. Sorry, everyone.

FD: This is a whiny post about a #petPeeve #firstWorldProblem.
We like to read Carolyn Hax's live chats, but we don't like to give the Washington Post money, so we read the chats via archive.today.
Except archive.today only allows archives to be refreshed every 5–6 hours or something, and most weeks some a*hole with no patience tells it to archive the chat before it's finished, so often we can't read the whole thing until long after it's finished.
I told you it was whiny, you were warned.
