I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

All woke and no play makes Jack a dull boy

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄

One person’s ‘shocking’ is another person’s ‘uplifting’

‘One’

Stone cold classic.

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

Shave 'em. I don’t want no cowlick near my balls

I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.

Journey of the Sorcerer 🌎💥👍🐟🚀🖥️

It has high integration with both the Capcom Hyper Advanced Intensity Rig and the Sony Optical Firmware Adapter

I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It’s not left-right politics, it’s the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

But by the method you use in your first 2 examples, you start with the digit to the left of the barcode, reading digits 1, 2 and 3 of the 13-digit code. In your USA example, you start with the digit inside the barcode and read digits 2, 3 and 4 of the 13-digit code.

Following the same rule as your European examples would give 509, not 099, no?

I’ve loved the SGI industrial design since I first saw it in the 90s. It still feels futuristic to me today.

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won’t let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.

UK has American-supplied and maintained nukes so maybe not a great long-term prospect?

Does not have a cyclotron for loan. Disappointed.
