Very funny to hear the RTE commentary team strongly supporting England.

Man, that would be absolutely insane. Imagine if Iran decided to help Russia and its attack drones hit Ukrainian cities every night.

Context: if England win against France in the Rugby, then Ireland wins the Six Nations tournament.

That's why no-one booed "God Save The King" in the Irish pub I am currently in.

George Lucas naming characters:

"Umm... this one's kind of a dark invader.

This guy is a lone gunhand. Hand... solo??

Our hero is like Cool Hand Luke except he takes to the skies... hmm....

Oh, and the lone gunhand's friend? He's big n furry and kinda looks like pile of chewing tobacco. Hmm."

The shadow fleet is now being hunted, and the big Black Sea oil transit ports have been destroyed by Ukraine in the past few months.

The rising oil prices should in theory help Russia, but Russia is no longer in a situation where it can take advantage of this situation.

I am starting to think the IRGC are winning. Or at least not losing.

Note: I carefully said "IRGC".

And where are the Artesh???

The 2040 aim must be because the Treasury are throttling the project to keep the yearly spend down. 2/2

To be honest I think the approach could be delivered in 3-4 years. Even with a redesign of Euston taking 2 years I can't understand why 2040 has been mooted. They should be able to deliver something within 10 years from now. Especially with the amount of prep already done. 1/2

Thanks to @railfocus.bsky.social for giving me more reasons to be even more angry at Sunak, as this is so complex that it should have not have been delayed for simple political reasons.

I assume this is why people think a 2040 opening for HS2-Euston.

Impressive to see them pull it off though.

HS2 Euston's Big Dig! (Euston Approach Tunnels) YouTube video by Rail Focus

So I went to a Community Drop-In Event a couple weeks back and saw a rendering of the approach, and while I was intrigued by the engineering but didn't understand why the Euston Tunnel would take a year but no-one knew when the Approaches will be done.

I now know.

A photo of a green bus with the destination screen display showing "192.168.228" The caption has the text showing "Look at that everyone A LOCAL BUS !" 

Context:
The joke is that 192.168.x.x is the local network address for computers, making it a "local" bus.

A local bus

Here is my best Habermas story.

I am grad student waiting in LONG line for Habermas talk. There is a tall man waiting in front of me. Line moves so we are eventually visible to organizers, a woman looks over & makes horrified face. Runs out: "Prof Habermas! You don't have to wait in line!"

I think nowadays Katarina could be done more correctly.

Hadn't occured to me, but, whilst I would've loved the episode with Time Destructor sequence to have been recovered, one of the great things about early episodes from Dalek's Master Plan being found is we get more actual footage of Katarina's short-lived tenure

Speaking as a former buzzfeed employee – and one who didn't sign an exit deal with a partial NDA – is it probably worth noting AI was just one of a long line of pivots for a media company posing as a tech company. Buzzfeed was largely finished long before the AI move.
