I put that out but the stupid chicken choked while I was looking for a YouTube video 4:42 long

Who cares as long as they’re gone?

I used windows once, and if you checked inside my head you’d find a neural network.

He always goes to the movies with some guy

I do something similar for my 5 yo, it actually makes for a more fun challenge than just stomping the 50cc AI. until he starts the smack talk, then he gets rekt

At the very least, nationalise the last mile.

Malware is free too

Ukraine will be giving them to Russia for free. With express delivery too.

Necessary jobs are mostly farming, mining, manufacturing, and customer service.

And elder care, which is set to be a real growth industry

Reminds me of a joke told by an old Polish priest from his time in the Soviet Union.

A party official is sent to a village that hadn’t been meeting it’s quota.
He meets with the mayor and tells him "Trucks are coming tomorrow. The central committee has decreed you will fill them with your potato stockpile.
“As you say Comrade” says the mayor, “our potato stockpile is stacked high enough to reach God.”
“God?” Retorts the official incredulously “There is no god in the Soviet Union!”
The mayor shrugs “There are no potatoes either”

I’m not sure the corporate lockdown will allow that, but I’ll look into it thanks.

My desktop isn’t a problem, but the Dell laptop issued by my employer is a pain. It can take over an hour to load the models I work on, so I only shut down over the weekend and sleep it weeknights. Every time some BS, probably hidden behind admin credentials by IBM will wake it up within 20 minutes. Luckily I’ve discovered pulling the power and leaving it in battery keeps it asleep.

Would hate to be the member of the cabin crew who has to clamber down the gear to fit the chains during final.

When I had my house reinsulated last year I took the opportunity to run cables from every room to a small closet, and then a run from that closet to the router. Had some… experience, learning how to wire in the sockets, and right now only my office is connected with a bit of patch instead of the switch I’ll eventually need to get the other rooms live, but it’s so much more reliable than it was with WiFi or poweline. Not to mention that those technologies only just kept up with the 36Mb VDSL I’ve been stuck on for the last 10 years. Having ethernet means I’ll actually be able to get the most out of the 500Mb FttP I’m getting next month.

Unauthorized persons discover this one weird trick. Fat controllers hate them!

I was pro abolition of DST until I got Solar PV, now I like it again because it matches generation to usage better.

Octopus tracker prices for gas are up, but still lower than the cap, and way below where they were last year.

Parliamentary debate or similar?

My reading was they expressed concern that the guardians who imposed face coverings on these girls would deny them education rather than give up the garment, then frustration that some people, like those guardians feel they have the right to impose such rules. Seems consistent to me.
