Well, all I know is, train long enough, and dig deep enough, and one of the nodes will be modelling sentiment๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

So the EPA now state that pollution isn't bad for human health. Really? FFS.

So basically "Poison isn't poisonous" is their position.

Folks should know, it's not good to enter a stupid contest...and win.

Claude Shannons theory of information entropy states that the value of information is proportional to its โ€œsurpriseโ€.

When I scroll thru Youtube these days, I find that very few of the videos โ€œsurpriseโ€œ me.

Therefore, technically speaking, few of them have valueโ€ฆ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€œUneasily coexistingโ€ I guess is a euphemism for โ€œBritishโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Roof of my apartment.

Was told that originally had planned to make it a jacuzzi, but seemed OTT since there is already one downstairs, so now a sitting area.

In 7 years, hadnโ€™t been up here before.

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics."

So now he's got rid of statistics, I guess we are just left with - lies, damned lies.

I also once left my apartment, and didn't return for 16...years...and had accidentally left my solar powered clock alarm on - every morning.

Happy to report it was still working when I returned, but oddly my neighbors had also changed๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

So...check your clocks too๐Ÿ˜‰

Yes I expected them to block direct connections from abroad but didn't expect all of them to block VPNs also. It's very deliberate.

Here & There:

I automated bill payments in the UK and Japan (Gas, Electric, Comms, Banking etc.).

But have found Japan, unlike the UK , will not allow me to login to the various portals e.g. Tokyo Gas, from abroad.

And in Japan they all seem to block using a VPN๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

In 2016, my UK apartment was the backdrop for a bit of drama, luckily no one hurt.

Reminds me of when Deckard "retires" Pris, and she flails around. Dystopian.

Yes, never been my cup of tea, but watching all the law firms, universities, and media companies fold, while these folks take a stand in their own way - a modern profile in courage.
