dharrigan07:11:01

It happens in the outside world too…..

guy11:11:07

I get gary a lot instead of Guy 😞 if that makes you feel any better

yogidevbear14:11:37

otfrom10:11:42

I don't understand. Jade is your real name. jasonbell is just a handle

jasonbell10:11:29

Ah, that’s where I was going wrong

Ben Hammond10:11:22

grrr. between FaceMonster and GitHub and Slack and Twitter; I wish they'd reach consensus on what <<Shift-Return>> meant, and what <<Return>>> meant

Ben Hammond10:11:13

its fascinating how Jade is unambiguously a Good Thing in China but is much more nuanced over here

Ben Hammond10:11:53

I guess because Jade items come from China, they are often quite damaged by the time they get over here

Ben Hammond10:11:07

or used to be, centuries ago

Ben Hammond10:11:47

do you get Jade Bells?

guy11:11:00

Morning!

jasonbell12:11:53

Ben Hammond13:11:38

alexlynham16:11:16

guy16:11:46

How you doing today

alexlynham16:11:49

everybody see that arron banks got his twitter DMs hacked? what a n00b

alexlynham16:11:06

unlikely much will come out of it but eh

alexlynham16:11:30

I’m alreet thanks @guy, starting to heal up after getting hit by a car last week lol

guy16:11:02

oh wow!! Damn thats awful 😞 how did it happen?

rickmoynihan18:11:11

eek hope you’re getting better mate!

yogidevbear08:11:11

Hope it wasn't too bad 🤞

dominicm08:11:34

That's what happens when you skateboard through the road like a madman

alexlynham17:11:00

A car pulled across the bike lane without looking (according to witnesses and the police, it happened too quick for me to process and I was knocked out)

alexlynham17:11:22

the only thing I can remember is the sound of me hitting the car

alexlynham17:11:38

kind of like dropping a very large cardboard box onto a concrete floor

alexlynham17:11:05

but yeah, docs said I’m alive ’cos I had a helmet on

👍 4
yogidevbear17:11:07

And this is why I won't let my son get on his bicycle without a helmet... ever

yogidevbear17:11:59

That's really insane. People in cars often seem not to take bicycles and motorcycles into account when changing lanes

alexlynham19:11:09

yeah, I had a hi viz helmet and a bright red coat, but if the driver doesn’t even bother looking then you need to protect your noggin

alexlynham19:11:47

even then I got off very lightly. docs were p surprised the CT scan came back with nothing broken. basically confirmed that i am wolverine

guy13:11:49

Wow that's awful I'm sorry that happened to you
