for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less.

My copy of Felix Danczak’s “Market-led growth” arrived!

I’d already got and started the Kindle version when it came out, but I much prefer a physical book for this sort of thing so I can easily refer to bits as needed!

Hah yes I got one and thought it was neat too! Did you take a look at the payload? I haven’t had a chance yet

@spindlypete.bsky.social Do I recall correctly that you and your SO enjoy beans? I saw redwombat.social/@thebiologis... via @aredridel.dinhe.net and suspected you’d appreciate!

Loved jml's writeup of "How I've been using LLMs at work" (as an SRE) - jml.io/posts/llm-us...

Condolences and sympathies…!

It turns out it’s much easier to solder on banana plugs when you remember your soldering iron goes up to 350C

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Have fun and stay safe!

Do you know where your dingle dangle is?

yep it's a Malort advent calendar alright

Hope it all goes well and you recover swiftly and thoroughly!

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

I will restate my modest proposal to save the BBC: ban the BBC from covering itself.

Every BBC scandal goes huge, because every BBC News show wants to assert its independence by covering it prominently, even if several other shows already did. So it gets blanket headlines.

A catoon image offering satirical advice about how to become a better conversationalist. The top text suggests: "Ask people questions that give them an opportunity to talk about themselves." The cartoon shows one character asking, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
