Been trying to learn #Flutter for app development for a while now. 3 different books and 2 different laptops, and I Still haven't even managed to get the default project to load and run.

What a load of shite Flutter is ๐Ÿคฆ

I would give my child blanket permissions to walk out of any school lesson that involves any/all religion and they would know I had their back 100% and they would face no punishment whatsoever ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I've never been a fan of music, and don't really have any kind of reaction to it like most others seem to, but that riff in the song Showdown by ELO gives me goosebumps ๐Ÿซก

Dispatches from the #GortonandDenton by-election: local community Facebook groups are being flooded with some really dodgy ๐Ÿ’ฉ.

One for my neighbours in Levy and for investigative journalists - not sure whom to talk to about it.

See a few screenshots here, and ๐Ÿงตon why I think it's sus below.

Another doddering old twat talking bullshit - it had been almost a day without one ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Seriously though, whatโ€™s he trying to distract people from? Is he in the Epstein files, or has Farage offered him a reach-around, half of the NHS and a 0% tax? #scumbag

For me, the same goes for software development. If you use โ€œAIโ€ youโ€™re not a developer, youโ€™re a fake and a fraud.

Illustration of the Dutch Reach. You should reach across with your non-door-side hand to open a car door, because it forces you to look behind you.

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok.

If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

Heard somebody say once about Canada: itโ€™s like a beautiful apartment above a crack den.

Been to the Canadian side of Niagra Falls, and plan on seeing more of Canada in the future ๐Ÿ‘Œ

For me it was a writing โ€œuniformโ€.

When I put on shorts and my exercise t-shirt at a certain time my mind goes to โ€œexercise modeโ€. I thought the same would work with writing so managed associate a specific time, pair of tracksuit bottoms and jumper with โ€œwriting modeโ€.

I bet the majority of people who think home workers do less are people who have never actually worked from home and see people like me in a tracksuit rather than a shirt and tie.

More people ignorant of something but not letting that stop them from having their say ๐Ÿ™ˆ

As usual he talks a load of rubbish from a position of knowing nothing about it. I get much more work done at home as I want people to not think Iโ€™m skiving - + fewer interruption. In an office I would do next to nothing as people could see I was there at my computer โ€œworkingโ€โ€ฆ

Out Tesco Exp removed all but 2 tills and replaced them with these crap self-service things hardy anybody uses. There are 3 members of staff for the whole shop, and massive queues at the single till with a staff member.

The boss of Tesco can keep his opinions where the squirrel keeps its nuts.

Decided to rewatch The World At War - itโ€™s been a while, and the similarities between โ€œNew Germanyโ€ and โ€œMake America Great Againโ€ / Farageโ€™s lies and rhetoric, have left me with chills.

Never forget: Where they burn books, they will eventually burn people.

Heโ€™s got the touch of a sledge-hammer though ๐Ÿ™ˆ Didnโ€™t think we was that good today, personally. Angel Gomes looked tidy, Armstrong was lively. Thought Hugo Bueno played really well again.

To be fair, if you were 4 foot tall and spent your life surrounded by people who are 3 foot tall youโ€™d probably start to believe you were a giantโ€ฆ until you met people 5 1/2-6 foot tall. Heโ€™s just a dumb person surrounded by dumber people - like a certain President and Social Media site ownerโ€ฆ

That is more optimistic than me. Just canโ€™t see us getting a single point until April.

Mandelsonโ€™s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govtโ€™s NHS data deal with Palantir โ€“ a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be โ€˜ripped up.โ€™

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

I donโ€™t believe a word. *Every single* politician is in it for themselves, hooked up to evil billionaires. From the world stage to local councils, politicians do nothing but harm so as to line their own nests.

An uprising like they had in France is needed I think.

We need some heads to roll.
