Absolutely fuck all of these clowns and the cretins who are unable to push back on them.

Huge shout out for @lessonhacker.bsky.social's Knowledge Bytes series on the @craigndave.bsky.social YouTube channel. Great for helping with those tricky technical questions from the kid who builds their own PC! Entertaining and informative too! youtube.com/playlist?lis... #CASchat #TeamCompSci

Counting Crows' Rain King crops up on my listening list every September with Buble/Xmas like inevitability.

Does this include all the temporary ones for students who have forgotten theirs?

I use a password manager, which helps with my various accounts.

11k midweek threshold and 14k including parkrun yesterday made today's 'easy' 10 miler anything but.

All that plus a zwift hill climb on Tuesday and my Garmin is still not satisfied!

Has a technologist ever had a correct opinion about education?

Also this weird misconception that public sector workers aren't taxpayers too. Anyone want to see the deductions on my payslip? Plus, I've got no choice about manipulating how I'm paid to minimise tax. That's as it should be, but it should be the same for everyone.

Assuming you get the same odd looks from the rest of the dept as I do? (I share an office with science, so actually have people to talk to at lunch)

Excellent clue today. Got it by pure guesswork and had to watch the video to see why.
