I am relatively careful leaving enough time... But if you essentially commute via air, then you rack up enough flights that things eventually go wrong...

I have missed order 5 fights in my life... Ranging from person on the tracks stopping my train at the airport station (I'd left plenty of time), through cutting it close and the bus breaking down... to not technically missed, just booked the return leg for a month in the future...

Ahh good old not so anonymous anonymised datasets...

Same, same :P

Excellent. I thought they had gotten stuck on fees.

It's the Prices, Stupid Consumer sentiment is at an all-time low because prices are at an all-time high. Consumer sentiment isn't broken, popular government data is just incomplete

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid

Everyone seems to have a uni story of the American student who turns up thinking they would have an awesome time drinking legally!
Only to find out that all of the Brits/Europeans had been drinking since at least their early teens and that they themselves had not...
Cue stumbling, vomit etc...

It's not like the universities are the backbone of the economy... Providing good revenue themselves, but also acting as the educators of our (financial and legal) services dominated economy... Oh... Wait...
Kill them and you start a whole collapse...

A recommendation algorithm that craves response... And also has a plethora of sanity melting inputs 24/7 to feed you to get that response...

Currently being flooded with "knowing what the worst person on earth is doing every 15 minutes"... So, who knows where that line goes in the future...

Mine did that to me this evening because I placed my goodnight kiss on the wrong part of her cheek.
The ensuing tantrum significantly delayed bedtime.

In the UK they're just called, "Gentleman's clubs". Definitely only about sharing a political world view and class with the fellow members... No sharing of members... No, no, no...

A sign on the fence of a graveyard. It reads "No use of geiger counters on church property."

This sign raises many questions, which probably should be answered by the sign but aren't

I made this 23 years ago... And a series of other Domo Kun/Spiderman cross over animations...
I have no idea why...
But it feels relevant...

With op-eds like this backing up the insult-then-demand-help diplomacy... Is it any wonder that we are not rushing to help Trumpy-pants needless offensive war...

Apparently Jack Black is in it and mentioned it on his first day on set, "This is just a working title, right?"...
He was ignored :P

It really whips the llamas ass...

But, some collection of blokes who I don't know wrote about him a couple of millennia ago did not cut it...
They broke him by just asking, but how do you know him for ages...

This guy, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_... lost his faith whilst on a mission to the Pirahã in the Amazon. He learnt their language and tried to preach the Bible too them... But they need to know how you personally know a person to think they exist... Iirc, my dad knew him is good enough...

Which country in blue gave them one then? Australia? UK? The US? That's it...

I'm not even confident I could get it out of the garage... Let alone the pit lane...
Then again I don't have a dining license...

Who is the Merovingian forcing to orgasm in this situation?

Ah the new modern revision...
May you live in frenetically unstable times...
Bonus points for anyone trying to raise children in them...

a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies ALT: a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies

They could have replaced it with...

"I have no issue with the authorities..." Well, you have to say that, or risk jail or a fine...

Nah! Astro is just different fiddly.
You guy also do AI to! You could apply to run this!

Be careful... Us particle physicists are very, very good at AI (machine learning)...
We are being massively defunded right now... We could happily apply to run this...

Well that single piece of information puts a whole lot of *gesticulates towards America* in a new context... Holy shit...

Wait. Doesn't every other Golgafrinchan die from an unsanitised telephone because they put all the useless telephone sanitisers?
What are we going to die from in this scenario? I don't really know what any of those people contribute to...

Harrison Ford: Life Achievement Award Acceptance Speech | 32nd Annual Actor Awards YouTube video by Netflix

Well it's lovely when an actor you love is also a humble thoughtful and funny human...
