I know, right! Despite being the Prince of Darkness, they still wanted him as ambassador. So why the handwringing now when the Prince of Darkness turned out to be a prince of darkness. Just say "WE KNOW! WE DID IT ANYWAY!"

That thing where you have to go abroad on holiday because it's too expensive to stay anywhere in the same country, and too expensive to get there.

What cheese did they put in crispy pancakes to cover it up?

Marscarpone

Would eat.

Mandelson is a 72yo bloke. I'm not quite sure, in the absence of public toilets in most places at night, what councils expect people to with their piss. Wee their pants? Some sort of teleportation?

On the one hand, it'll be enshittened. On the other, it was already being made by a company that makes Domestos and Lynx Africa, so how much worse can a _food_ company make it?

Of course you were right about the feathers and steel all along. Your colleagues were confusing weight and mass.

The kg of steel and kg of feathers would only weigh the same on a scale in a vacuum, with no air displacement.

You are wise, Limmy.

"Sharing my own opinions on Diana".

That bio line tells everyone all they need to know here.

Bot, luv?

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?

Why would we want to use tiny screens for everything?

Also, apps are awful.

Depends where you put the centre...

I don't want the left "successfully" fractured by half a dozen competing parties, so happy to see some disappear.

There's already left of centre the SNP, LDs, Labour, Green, Alba at least has been wound up, and then minor ones like Socialist Labour and Scottish Socialists.

This _is_ Pam St Clement isn't it?

I've considered going to one or two in the last year or so, looked at the prices, and thought, nah you're alright mate.

Kellogg's Start was discontinued back before The Event. But High Protein Bites look suspiciously similar!

Same trefoil shape, same main ingredients, same target market.

People comment it looks criminally negligent. But from an overseas perspective, I've been assuming it's part of an attempted voter suppression strategy through genocide.

I know they are the same mass. But they may well not have the same moment of inertia. And that's not something I'm willing to tolerate either. 🤣 Or width, also important for leverage.

It's very needy. And all the time I've used discord I've never noticed any change in it whatsoever.

Barley water (horchata, orgeat) _predates brewing_.

But yeah, cows.

New review on genetics and marine disease just landed!

My first paper in Phil Trans!
("You're a _scientist_ if you've got an ology...")

No I'm not in Maths now. Will get that fixed...

Ultimately I think, neither business nor government want this sort of thing. They want you on social media where you can be controlled and monetised.

Which is why I absolutely maintain my own website.

I think it's so much better than invading places and causing wars.

Acid risks it. Hot temperatures risk it. Older milk a risk. Looking at it funny, risk. Divine whim, risk.

Five whys though. Why does the US government want infectious diseases back. Is it an attempt at genocide at certain demographics?

I thought we were in this mode for years already. Brexit, tuition fees, house ownership patterns, poor internet regulation, triple lock pensions... All symptoms of it.

My Bible was a Christening present from my aunt and uncle, who signed it and wished me well on the endpaper. Similarly, I've got a KJ from an ancestor from the 19th century. I would consider neither sacrilegious in itself.

I'm adding Ravenna to this list for 401-410 AD.

Can I offer a local one to me, the Tiddy Mun?

I'm not sure bog spirits count as a cryptid, but still.

These stories when you read them are so often less impressive than they look. In this case, there's an entire plot of land - previously not built on but an old car park - between her and the sea. Lo and behold, it's now being developed. Don't rely on views over derelict land!
