It's always a worry when you get to this number... well it is if you're an embedded software engineer, but I can confirm that the car did not blow up one mile later and we got home safely.

"Jas Singh, BSc(Hons), MBA recently imported your email address from another platform to Substack."

Well both Jas Singh and Substack can fuck right off! Really Substack, you're letting people bulk import spam lists so they can vomit AI evangelism at me?

Today's advent calendar activity is "Write a letter to Santa". The predictable part was the request for Paw Patrol everything... but the request for some water for a small sea for the Sea Patroller is somewhat unexpected!

A screenshot of a DuckDuckGo search result for "Aldi" showing a map of stores, results card fort he Aldi Wikipedia entry... but the first result is an advert placed by Sainsbury's titled "Aldi Official Website - Shop Online at Sainsbury's"

WTAF!? In what way to DuckDuckGo and Sainsbury's think this is in any way acceptable?

I suggest Aldi creates a big fuss about this rank dishonesty!

BOO!-lean.

@malcolmcombe.bsky.social Have you seen this one? www.highland.gov.uk/news/article...

Imagine going in a shop and seeing a sandwich labeled "£1.99 or £4.50 depending what time it is. You'll be punished as a thief if you pay the wrong amount but we won't tell you what time the prices change". That's the UK rail system that is

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Yup, utterly useless. And the other free alternatives, so I've resorted to paying for Kagi and I'm pretty happy with it.

3yr old, with great hope in his voice: "We go to Copenhagen this month?"

And so begins month 5 of his obsession with returning to the, admittedly very fine, city.

No son. We don't have a trip to Copenhagen planned.

I've been happily using Kagi for a couple of months. As well as good results as far as I'm concerned, it also allows you to blacklist sites from results that are clickbait nonsense or terrible resources like Mumsnet

...along with the standard funding declaration and other conflict of interest declarations required in published research.

Black poster with gold text: Wear what you want. Ride what you want. That’s all there is to it.

There can be lots of gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want.

A tweet from CSPAN quoting Senator Durbin asking NCAA President Charlie Baker how many athletes are in U.S. NCAA schools, to which Baker responds, "510,000." Durbin then asks how many transgender athletes he is aware of, and Baker replies, "Less than 10." The image below shows Charlie Baker speaking into a microphone at a formal setting.

This is the trans athletic scare that has half the nation in a tizzy. It’s manufactured fear, playing off of ignorance and bigotry.
