I thought it was only the optional, official stand that cost $15k.

Oh wait a minute, I forgot magsafe had v1 and v2 in the pre-usb-c days. Still, new magsafe is optional, you can stick with usb-c if you prefer.

There's only been 2 types of cord for charging macbooks, plus USB-C whose point was you already had it, and only 2 for iphone including USB-C, in the two decades we've had those products.

Not sure where you are, but refurb OG SEs are still around in aftermarket suppliers and not terribly priced, if you're a fan of them.

Small-format, high spec iphones again.

Dr Lucy Rogers is pictured on the stage of the Royal Institution lecture theatre behind Faraday’s desk, a large brown curved wooden affair. On the wall is a giant screen showing the cover of Lucy’s book ‘Up’

Wonderful talk by @drlucyrogers.com at @rigb.org last night. Highly recommend her book ‘Up’ which is rightly receiving accolades.

Exactly - if it's that important to know, before watching a film they want us to pay to see, they can upload it officially. Or offer showings for £1, let the cinemas choose if they want to show it (and maybe make some concessions money) or if making a new film this way was silly - or mere hyperbole

Is the answer to the title “Be credibly accused of multiple sexual offences, realise your old career is irrevocably over, and need a new grift asap”?

Not at the top. But near the top. Right ?

Think they're only looking at fast chargers, whereas someone using their car regularly can likely find a slower charge site to park their car for a couple of hours while they do something productive.

You do need the means to spend, on average 40 grand though. I suspect 'new' is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and more people at the low/medium side of the market are now buying second hand petrol rather than trying to find a low to mid range EV when it really pushes their budget but lacks features.

He's a genius, he found a home big enough for his family in central london... but didn't question why that may be cheaper than similarly sized places in the general area.

Probably a bargain, as they just need to get rid of them so that the people who buy £150 running shoes every year/season will buy the next pair with it's slight changes. Not many people who'll buy £150 shoes will buy last season's shoes instead, even at £40.

Many people are saying that JD is quite ignorant about the history of religion in Europe and the Middle East but that overlooks his expertise on the ottomans.

The passage of time makes a lot of things impossibly unavailable. Need the right mix of simple legal ownership, of the source even existing (and the right source, as version control wasn't really a thing), of the right tools and knowledge to turn source into code that actually runs.

Cover of the book "Up" by Dr Lucy Rogers. There are butterflies, fireflies, glowworms, bats, a kite, an aeroplane, a hot air balloon, clouds and the moon on the cover. And inside the book too.

My book's out on Thurs.

I have a request - pls ask your local library to get a copy so everybody can enjoy it? (also available as audiobook).

Funny, but in how many cases is that not a tautology ?

It's a pretty unusual case for most people to be visiting public, free museums - most people will already doing preparations for their trips and carrying a utility bill just for this trip seems a long way from the top of a slippery slope. Doubly so it they implement a pre-book/pre-approved ticket.

I'd hazard a guess there are different stencils in the two packs. But still, no.

MARKETING GUY: should i do a press release

INVENTOR: that’s how it works, yes

Eurobridges Spijkenisse - Wikipedia

I can't get exercised by what is on bank notes but this is very amusing. Apparently euros feature fictional bridges so they don't offend anyone (and they do, we checked!). So a Dutch town built the bridges that are on the notes and now all euros feature that town. 😂

I yearn for the old ways, they are full of problems that we recognise and understand how to avoid, mitigate or rule out of bounds. New ways always boast of this one big old problem they fix, yet start with a list of shortcomings and we discover more of them only once we're too far into it to go back

Iran learning lessons, at least.

Had a room of important people, lost a room full of important people.

Had another room of important people, lost another room of important people.

Sent a football team full of people, lost a football team full of people - now not sending a second football team.

Guess you missed the dejected, empty sound in his voice when he finally spat out "drummer" after choking on the words for a good few seconds.

Thrice weekly tutor-led piano lessons, while both parents support him learning recorder himself. It's the only way - ironically it's the one thing you can't beat out of him.

Pour it in one end, scoop it out once it's flowed through to the other end.
