Your escalator does what now?

Steplesselevator
I had a bit of a surprise when I wandered into a shopping mall, due to the escalators not having any steps.
As it turns out, this is so you can move between floors with a large shopping trolley. In case you were wondering, the trolleys lock magnetically to the escalator so you can't "accidentally" squish someone below you with ten gallons of coke or whatever.
They only get four stars out of five as a result. Still pretty neat though.

No reason to be penalised by Google for not having HTTPs when they wouldn't let me use the damn thing. Anyway, TL;DR is they finally enabled it as an option and after some fritzyness, I'm back and ready to post nonsense about junk. Hooray.

Goodbye hellsite, I'll miss you

I have indeed decided to leave Twitter for the time being. It's going in a direction I can't say I'm massively enthused about, and Mastodon seems like the better alternative for the time being.

Back in business

Who knew it'd take Twitter going down in a ball of fire to get me back to posting on a blog. Anyway, welcome to the very distant past. I don't even remember how to change the incredibly dated template to one of a dozen other incredibly dated templates, so good luck with that.
