Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th November 2024.

9th November, 2024.

Hmmm … 

I keep an eye on politics: mostly on UK politics, as that’s where I live, but also on international politics.

So … ?

I’m very aware — as I write — that Donald Trump is winning this year’s US presidential election.

I can only think that’s going to be bad: as Trump is no friend of the UK*.

~≈🇬🇧≈~

On a personal front … ?

My new washing machine has been installed.

Granted, it’s cost what — for me — is a small fortune.

And the old model damaged because of my stupidity.

But … ?

It’s nice to have it in place: and be able to clean my undies!

~≈🧺≈~

Did I mention I tried selling on an old computer of my sister’s?

But didn’t?

In all honesty, the thing seemed to be stuck in a permanent boot-loop: one I couldn’t clear.

However … ?

I did manage to break the thing up: and salvage the machine’s RAM and SSD.

The latter’s been put into an enclosure, and securely wiped.

And can be re-purposed.

Here’s hoping it can be put to good use†.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-11-2024 — The Gunpowder Plot

5th November, 2024: The Gunpowder Plot!

It’s officially official: I have a busy morning, today!

I’m due a phone appointment with my GP.

And the washing machine is due to be installed, today: around 12, 12:30.

Hopefully?

They won’t clash!

~≈👩🏽‍⚕️≈~

Oh, it’s election day in the US.

Frankly?

I’m hoping Donald Trump doesn’t win: outside of the fact I find the man objectionable, I feel he’s no friend of the United Kingdom’s.

And I’ve heard some of his campaign rally statements.

They strike me as the sort of empty statement that Orwell would steal and use in 1984.

One that stuck in my mind?

Was Trump’s repeated statement that he’s going to end inflation.

I’m no economist … but, as far as I know, that’s an impossible job.

Trump … is making empty promises that make some of Big Brother’s statements sound reasonable …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th November 2024.

4th November, 2024.

Right … it’s Monday … and I’m up, early.

Yet again, I’ll be heading for Brentwood High Street, to go to my weight management class.

Hopefully, I’ll have lost some weight: and carried on the loss from the last two weeks.

Here’s hoping.

~≈🧺≈~

Whilst I’m in town … ?

I can visit my favourite washing-machine shop!

I either need a repair: which I believe will cost.

Or a new washing machine.

Which will cost: but may or may not cost as much as the repair.

It might just be cheaper to get a new machine … …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-11-2024 — Culture Day

3rd November, 2024: Culture Day.

I’m a silly idiot!

I was doing dinner, last night: and filling the sink so I could wash up.

And … ?

And … ?

Really wasn’t paying attention to the sink.

It ended up flooding my kitchen … and knackering my washing machine.

In fact it was the various buzzing sounds from the washing machine, as the thing’s mother board was soaked, that grabbed my attention: and told me that I’d missed something!

I’m now facing an expensive repair: or possibly even a replacement.

OK, at the moment, I can afford it.

But it’s my own damn fault that I’m spending money I didn’t need to spend!

There’s possibly comments* …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd November 2024.

2nd November, 2024.

Right, then: it’s officially Saturday.

And it’s one that’s going to be quiet: bar making a few videos.

Which — hopefully — will be in 4k.

That’s amazing to me: that an older model Mac mini can make videos in that kind of resolution.

Especially when the first Mini I got couldn’t handle the flame animations in Keynote!

Technology … !
