Lifechat with Adam; fixing Netflix, eco, and home buying
In Automattic, we have a “life chat” Slack channel, it uses Donut, the same bot we use for onboarding, and it matches you with another person in the channel once a month.

Cobra Paw
Played this game at Ian’s the other week. It’s literally a game of quick matching. You have tiles on the table, each file has two ends with a glyph/character on it in colour. You roll a dice and the players need to be the first to grab the tile one handed. Someone already has the…

Another Mapominoes game

Alcohol-free beer and age restrictions
I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t looked at the licensing laws at all. I’m just spitballing. My mate Ian came over yesterday to help me take a bunch of stuff to the recycling centre from the shed and then we went to Tesco last night to get a few bits for dinner. Since he…
