AND IT’S NOT EVEN AN ACTUAL ROADSTER… Takes a deep breath… A roadster is a small, leightweight, rear wheel drive, convertable/cabriolet, runabout, with two seats. I have often quipped about my Eunos Roadster: More than two seats is an advertisement to freeloaders…

Incredible

I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing rare about ass porn.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing developers that it is reasonable to use whitespace to define codeblocks.

Water for bovine agriculture in Utah has become a grim obsession of mine since it is such a small, insiginificant part of their economy, irrelevant to their food supply and presents an imminent, deadly threat to its population via the Great Salt Lake drying up and creating poisonous dust clouds

I understand that it’s probably the last weekend in the UK this summer that Bikers will be able to go out for a ride. I’m not entirely sure this means they can do nearly 80+mph in a 50 limit and overtake round blind corners on double white lines… again and again…

NEWS! Patriots who insisted ‘All Lives Matter’ celebrate closure of RNLI station dedicated to saving all lives buff.ly/snl8ChA

Today I presented an unscheduled opportunity to see if Windows Server 2025 will run on an HP ProLiant Microserver Gen8 as hyper-v server. It will. It didn't even complain about BIOS rather than UEFI, lack of secure boot, or lack of a TPM (which is a pluggable option)...

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

The 9th September is vintage drum machine day. May the beat go on for all those who celebrate.

I’ve lost my storage… where is it?.. it’s got to be round here somewhere … rolls chair back… crack… storage is too small these days.

Just saw someone posted a huge article about strategy for r-type on one of the Switch 2. I haven’t read it but presume it’s something like this: If it moves, blast it If it doesn’t move, blast it until it moves, then blast it.

I cannot stand Public Pianos. I find them incredibly intrusive, the noise stresses me out and they’re almost exclusively situated where people who are the most stressed need quiet and calm.

Imagine having a budget to spend $8m (~$50m in 2026money) on a supercomputer, being able to specify any colour or multiple colours for the leather and panels, then chosing this…

I was today years old when I learned that an solution to methane buildup in the carbon steel vessels used in the Harber-Bosch process is an iron layer to prevent H2 entering the carbon steel & becoming methane. Every so-often the H2 needs to be released, this is done by drilling a: Bosh Hole...

I keep seeing videos & news stories about how COBOL skills are in high demand, nobody knows COBOL any more and it's critical to the global economy. Here's the thing - Even if you didn't learn #COBOL, #PL/I, #FORTRAN, #ASM at university. **You can learn new things after university!**

update to Reform UK's WFH policy

Nigel Farage wins Clackton, but more than a quarter of people who voted, would rather elect a Space Warrior wearing a bin. This is clearly also a loss for Farage. Farage failed to turn up for the count, a party spokesdroid claimed the Police advised there was a threat, the Police say not. He's a 🐔

Apperantly when MySQL was released the only alternative RDBMS for hosting web sites was Oracle. So that’s another YouTube bullshit IT history channel that I won’t be watching again. There’s poor research but this is a lack of any research at all - to be this ill informed takes actual effort.

On effective HIV treatment there is ZERO risk of sexual transmission. How amazing is that? The fear and ignorance that still surrounds HIV creates barriers to testing and the treatment that saves our lives AND prevents sexual transmission. End HIV stigma to end the epidemic. #ZeroHIVStigmaDay

JK Rowling uses her Harry Potter money to fund lawsuits against companies that support trans rights so no, I do not care what Hogwarts house you are in.

If Andy Burnham is serious about changing the way we do politics, he will start by fixing our broken voting system. Then we can get on with fixing everything else.

When you try to get frisky with filters in POE2

This is fantastic although I did initially read the OP as “Murder, she wrote porno”

Nothing says man of the people like accepting benefits from an aristocrat.

Farage made a career out of "taking back control". The British people deserve to know who's really controlling him. He must face a Parliamentary investigation.

Nigel Farage expects the public to trust him, but won't come clean about who funds him. @joshbabarinde.bsky.social

I had forgotten how fucking great this song is… It’s Saturn 5 by the Inspiral Carpets. m.youtube.com/watch?v=03cy...

The Conservatives and Reform have one thing in common: failing on climate. With heatwaves becoming the new normal, Lib Dems will keep fighting for real climate action and a path to net zero.

Exempting broadly-defined "health" services from this bill would be a bit like exempting "fuel" services from a bill about CO2 reduction. There must be no carve-outs or loop holes for abusive practices, in healthcare or otherwise, for this to be anything like what has been promised, for years.

While talking to the ex about the childcare and the heat, massive airplane goes over... Me: So will probably take them to a cafe for lunch... Oh, that's a B-52. Ex: Do they have air con? Me: B-52s? Probably in their main house but not in the Love Shack.

Epochalypse Now

Its not often we agree with Reform…

 The world has changed. The Brexit deal is costing us £90bn a year. 

It’s time to join the single market and put Britain back at the heart of Europe.

I have a bunch of criticisms of Oxfordshire CC, but this is a very welcome move. If you are putting flags up on lampposts under cover of darkness, you are doing it for the wrong reasons. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/injunction-t...

Today, we are calling for a bold new deal with Europe that will make Britain richer, safer, and stronger. A Customs Union. Taking Britain back into the Single Market. Tearing down barriers to trade. It’s time to end the chaos and put Britain back at the heart of Europe.

Are you British test: You're completing a form with implications to your freedom to travel and your continued employment. It has a question "are you now or have you every been known by any other name?" If you have to really, really try to not answer "Oi! Wanker!" probably British.

How did air conditioning become a heated debate? as.ft.com/r/77da2763-3...

I would do much better at Mario Kart if Rosalina didn’t have such a fantastic arse.

In the face of frenzied right-wing attacks, this government has successfully executed one of the most ambitious climate change projects in the world. Time to give credit where it's due iandunt.substack.com/p/guest-post...

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

For those who may need to be reminded: You are not exonerated of a crime, if you haven’t been prosecuted or tried. You’ve just not been prosecuted or tied. You’d think a lawyer would know this.
