Choked a job interview for a role that I'm an exact fit for, which is unusual because I have a bit of a niche set of skills when considered together. Anyway, it was a phone call from the US and the line was some ultra low bandwidth compressed mess. A mix of very quiet and painfully loud sounds.

Farm buildings and some horses.Chalk cliffs, pebbled beaches, calm blue green sea, vast sky with wispy clouds.Pebbled shore, small waves lapping at the shore. Cement structures extruding into the ocean. Wind turbines on the horizon.

Heres a feckin' stupid thing. If we send a 30 year old Yamaha drum machine to the US then because it was originally manufactured in Japan 3 decades ago then the tariff is 15%, but if we send an Alesis HR16 to the US then because it says "made in usa" on the bottom the tariff is 5%. 🤔

I was looking up Oobla Dee because it's odd. An attempted ska song by the Beatles. Turns out Paul just took the phrase from Jimmy Scott, a London based performer from Nigeria, who used it in his shows. Paul refused to credit him. Appropriately it ended up on the White Album.
