Brexit was IMHO the single biggest mistake in the history of the United Kingdom. Now its considered "too toxic" to adjust to the new majority opinion by the, soon to be destined for near extinction, major parties

Pro-Tip: If you screw up big at work, make a smaller screw up that people can focus on instead, like ruining the pond in front of the office to distract from losing a war with Iran.

C'mon #TeamTinyParticle

Turns out you can arrest, convict and imprison pedophiles with high political clout. Who knew ?

I watched this with first bemusement then just outright laughter at how BAD this AI video is. @flintdibble.bsky.social does a great job with the commentary, but really the terribleness speaks for itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaRr...

The first step in "fixing" baseball's salary structure is that every dollar paid on a contract has to be counted against the cap/luxury tax in the first 5(ish) years of the contract. No more mortgaging 20 years into the future.

Why is a Goldfish, a fish, but a silverfish is an insect ?

Probably because of the regimes stance on HIV prevention in South Africa, I was suddenly thinking about the film "Philadelphia" Tom Hanks' performance was so powerful it reduced both my (late) wife and I to tears.

A typical garden hose flows at about 10 gallons per minute. A single hose would therefore take 675 000 min, or ~468 days at that rate. We don't need a head of lettuce for comparison, more like a Twinkies bar.

This who build solar now, will secure an energy future. Those who *check notes* bribes energy companies to cancel planned developments, will handicap themselves in the global market.

The US, Australia and *checks notes* SCOTLAND (???) can secure knockout play tomorrow with a win. Joining the only team so far to guarantee this: Mexico. Nobody has been mathematically eliminated yet. (Qatar and Curaco have mountains to climb due to goal difference)

Old World game Random size (medium) Random map (Multiple continents) Random Nation (Greece) VP win (but only just) At the end: Greece 37 Carthage 36 Rome 34 Who got a city to move up in Culture first was the key for that final VP.

Adobe is gone from my PC. Whilst it may not be suitable for creatives, I am using the FOXIT PDF reader these days for personal use. Does the job, much less bloat and currently no AI slop. (if that changes then onto the next reader it will be)

Apart from the obvious, how did you enjoy the show Mrs Lincoln ?

Firing up an Old World save game I haven't touched in ~10 days. I'm at war with Carthage, but they are on a different continent. Should be a win for a defensive play. Need more ships.

The only thing better than curing cancer is preventing it in the first place.

Someone didn't check all the calendars. The recruitment kickoff for Atlanta area scouts (Whichwill be in person and right by Truist Park) is at the same time as kickoff for a World Cup match at Mercedes-Benz. Traffic could be NASTY.

My daughter is part of the basketball group today, that become the first team in the New High School gym. Originally they weren't going to get to use it until July, but plans changed. The volleyball squad (she plays that as well) will host the first games there.

They who can destroy a thing, controls the thing. Congrat Reddit on your new total control of AI slop.

Big Bertha takes flight (after the kid is doing a recovery when they shouldn't) C6-5 Engine. Sadly lost into the trees after this flight.

Hooman: You had breakfast already...

@eizebasa.baby You seen this ?

Last years model rocket, versus this years. Big Bertha should approach 500 feet, with the right engine. Going to do a lower power test first. Tomorrow is launch day.

Comical Ali (Baghdad Bob) was a more reliable source of information than the current US regime.

Wife and daughter successfully* ** retrieved from their Italy adventure. *5 lanes closed I75 SB in Atlanta on our way to airport ** 3 wrecks heading NB on our way BACK from airport Far from the best airport run ever, but strangely not the worst.

Basecolor needs one more coat. Then accent color (black fins and nose cone) Decals Clearcoat and final assembly of recovery parachute etc. We are going to be cleared for launch on Saturday. Will test with a D class motor first, but have some C class ones which should hit 500 feet.

For every useful group chat, if the line is set at 9 spam invites are you taking the over or under ? (over all day here, your individual mileage may vary)

Just saw an ad for a 4U travelball team (Baseball). What the actual f.... ? That is FAR to young

I can remember every world cup since 1978* I have never been less excited for it to actually happen, partial because of waves hands *everything*, but also because the design.

Model rocketry Engine module is firmly attached inside 1st fin is on.

I just made coffee without adding actual you know coffee, in case you are wondering how my day is going. This afternoon my son and I are making a model rocket for our Scout launch day. I ought to open a Kalshi market for it exploding on the launch pad if I am this not with it.

One of the great errors in fiction from past decades is that we always portrayed tech bro CEOs as geniuses when the truth is, most are dipshit bigots who got lucky or bankrolled by daddy. On their own merit, they fail every time.

As of today, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has gone on longer than the First World War.

What a beautiful piece.

It takes a special kind of strength to take a nap as an entire arena is Boo-ing you. Pitch-bot (probably)

The US team needs to be suspended by FIFA due to the massive political/racist interference with the world cup. They will not be, but they damn well should.

Random everything Old World game at "The Good" difficulty Map: Large Mediterranean, never got good visibility across the world, after getting the Oracle, recon by caravan helped get a feel for things though. Egypt with King Tut, who took the field and was vital in the early expansion.

Your feel good story for the morning. A dog on an inflatable Kayak was washed out to sea near Seahouses/Bamburgh. The RNLI coordinated a search including the tourist sea cruise boats out of Seahouses. Dog was found cold and scared and reunited with the owners by one of those sea cruise boats.

Grass is cut, been over 2 weeks with the heavy rain since I had a chnace to do it. Still needed just the 1 charge on the mower, though it was cutting it close. At normal grass length its about 60% of a charge.

Huge map - Which is too much for my PC, turns were dragging at the end Random Script - Mediterranean Random nation - Carthage-Dido Easy win on the Strong level. VP win with over a 20 point cushion.

Merge two movies: The Eagle met Sally

#OldWorld Large World Random map script gave me Bay Random Nation gave me Hatti Win by 4 VP over Kush, but was sat just 1 achievement away from that type of victory. Kush was the main rival and we had one long war with no city taken.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Every night this week I am doing the very particular "fun thing" of giving catnip ridden cats* bow and arrows and trying to teach them to shoot safely. *cub scouts up past their bed times, which is close I always enjoy twilight camp.
