I love him so much

He’s glorious!

How’s the updated YarraByte going?
I added minor response parameters, which can only be called upon with the bots name and the hashtag for Beep, as responding on its own accord without being called just felt weird.
Daily Thread post body now updates at 5am with minor info about the days weather & the emoji vote. I looked for pollen info, but couldn’t find any free API for allergies, closest was via Google with an account and that doesn’t feel right for a Lemmy bot.
Additionally, public holidays and daylight savings notifications in post body a few times per year, day before and day of.
Suggestion - Hide the daily emjoi rules under a spoiler tag? Just personal preference, we don’t need to see the rules every day.
Thanks for the feedback, have implemented it from tomorrow:

I’m told any absences were a scheduling matter between me and my performance improvement plan.
You have been doing great. 👍
YarraByte is doing a great job. Definitely earned a gold star ⭐️
I’ve escalated this to the chef, who has the only functioning department in this organisation.
It’s my birthday next week and for the first time since I was 16 I get to hang out with a family member.
I feel, I guess, curious?
This is wonderful. 😊😊😊
get some small very fancy cakes
and some drink of your choice
and a dinner that you love
and have a nice day
Pollination is a miracle of nature. Bees don’t do it to fertilise a plant, they do it to get nectar for energy and pollination is a side effect. How cool!
everyone wins 😊
looks like a nice day tomorrow to visit Castlemaine
I bought a new bottle of maple syrup recently, which came with a standard metal cap instead of the nice flip & pour plastic cap the old one had. I just realised they have the same screw fitting though, so have just moved the old cap onto the new bottle. Winning.
I just did a stocktake of my spices. Running critically low on lemon pepper. Added that to my shopping list. Phew.
Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
this paragraph is precisely the reason why I'm sad we don't record our court proceedings like the US does

The things I would give to see the look on the judges face 😂
I like the one where a stripper full on moons the judge to prove her thong is technically compliant
Omg yesss
“not again”
I wonder how many willies and boobs they see weekly lol
The decision on the management situation at work has been decided. My manager will now be someone based overseas with a lot more on their plate than previously. My current manager is hoping for redeployment so we’ll have to see what happens there too.
EXTREMELY pleased with the $20 KK gift I just picked up for someone. So much so I want to keep it. Which is always a good sign.
I read that as $20k gift at first and thought you were being extremely generous.
You got me wondering what a $20,000 budget KK would look like
The requirement to be able to wrap it and put it under the tree would be a bit tricky. Lots of jewellery and watches.
Anyone want to hear a bunch of middle eastern influenced industrial tracks I wrote?
If it counts, I really enjoyed them. Do agree with the others that vocals could add to it, but they also just work well as instrumentals.
It absolutely counts! Thanks for taking the time to listen to them :)
Will try some vocals this weekend and see how it plays out.
Are you into this kind of music?
I’m pretty open to all genres.
If you don’t want to write vocals, I think putting some old speeches would work. Like the opening of wretches and Kings by linking park, but for the whole song, but I also have no musical talent so I might not be the best option for advice lol
I volunteer as tribute
Let me know if you can see these

I listened to all of it. Sounds great, although some vocals might go well here and there.
Thanks for listening!
Do you have any suggestions for vocal style? That’s where I’m stumped
I don’t know how to make music but, I favour female vocals mostly. A melodic feminine voice against a backdrop of aggressive, alt, doom or industrial sounds just does it for me personally.
I think we probably listen to many of the same artists so you know the style. Haunting and poetic. Both seductive and menacing…
Yes please!
Here you go, any issues, let me know if you have any issues

Post listen review. I liked all the tracks a lot. I sorta kinda agree with uselessmoderngod that some vocals on some of them would be a nice addition, but I also reckon vocals are not really necessary. I really liked how the tracks were structured and the progressions. Thanks for posting these.
I really appreciate you having a listen! I’m going to try some vocals this weekend :)
Have saved to listen this evening.
When is Zoom rolling out the Strangle Presenter feature?
I avoided any possible disasters plugging the new PC into the TV by thinking of the worst possible outcome and having this conversation in my head:
“Man, that bottom dust cover is so slippery. I can’t believe I dropped the new PC because it slipped off in my hand.”
“Then why didn’t you take the dust cover off, put it down, then put the dust cover back on?”
“Oh, I didn’t think of that.”
And that’s how I DID think of that and avoid any disasters. Is there a word for this type of mental technique or is it just common sense?
There is, sorta kinda. Practical Paranoia is what my family calls it. Being able to foretell consequences of actions is a superpower. In essence, it’s the opposite of a Darwin award.
I’ll take the term. I’ll need to use practical paranoia more often so I can think of those ‘never thought of that’ situations ahead of time.
I probably shouldn’t have had that pepsi max for afternoon tea yesterday
