I’m doing this in honour of my dad YouTube video by Simon Clark

Two years ago I lost my dad to cancer.

He used to run marathons for our local cancer hospice and taught me to love the water by taking me swimming every week.

So in his memory I'm raising money for the hospice not by running a half marathon... but by swimming one

Next month I'll be swimming for around 8 hours non-stop to raise money for our local cancer hospice

Can you be the person to get the fundraiser to our £20k goal?

Microsoft's Topological Quantum Computer Explained YouTube video by Domain of Science

Curious what Microsoft's Quantum Computing announcement is about? @dominicwalliman.com made an excellent video last year on the topic of topological quantum computing.

Be aware that Microsoft made similar claims in 2018 and then retracted them in 2021.

First game of 40k of the year!band it was killteam... As featured in the 4th edition rulebook from 2004.

@dominicwalliman.com fielded a bunch of GSC goons and tried to stop my space marine scouts from planting melta charges on the tower, but couldn't quite get all of them! Delicious retro fun.

Bingo!

Sorry I tuned out half way through reading that

I would like to posit a counter argument: many if not most long form videos could benefit from severe editing. Therefore the popularity of short form content may be a positive influence on people's succinctness

In other words: I fucking hate padding

Yes! Thanks @reidweb.com

Did my name update?

Oh man, that does suck!
Although sounds perfect for a rambling HBO fantasy show.
