I see the after effects of it. I don't see it happening. I don't hang in bars, I don't gossip in locker rooms. I don't have the means to intervene. When my partner was affected by it, I had to avoid confronting the culprit, even when I met him, because I'd suffer the consequences, not him.

There is an industry making high temp superconductor tape that doesn't need helium now, but replacing all the existing scanners would be an expensive ask.
Was lamenting this over a decade ago, trying to get my tiny boring old plain-text email, which should have been an easy task for cellular networks by then, but unable to because I was in a train station with everyone streaming everything all at once.
Of course, consumption goes up in a kind of cube law as videos get taller, wider, and longer.
Wireless bandwidth is a kind of tragedy of the commons ; the more we consume, the more we need to shrink the cells, and crowded cells get less usable.
Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV
Hilarious that people were making a fuss because *The Sun* tried to make his hypnosis about boobs as well.
The Sun tries to make _everything_ about boobs.
> She's *not* a working class plumber! She fits HEAT PUMPS.
Was the refrain of so many people desperately trying to find a flaw in her background...
Wondering if the frequency of this and the cost of time wasted by the meeting participants would actually justify the position of "Finder of the Meeting Room".

Me in 2000 playing Majoras Mask: Nintendo is so weird and surreal. Don't the adults in Termina realise the world is going to end? Why do I, a literal child, have to save them?!
Me in 2026: *Takes a long drag on a cigarette*
people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Now? Yawn, another butt print from an Infinite Monkey.
My faves are by far the Kuru Toga self-sharpening ones, but now I have a Kuru Toga Dive there's nowhere further up to go.
The Roulette is just lovely though. Knurled metal grips are a premium sense experience.
