So which way did Exeter vote in 2016?

Sad to hear of Val Kilmer’s passing. For me he’ll always be that bloke who married Joanne Whalley

Liz Truss

Picked up “A History of the World in 47 Borders” by @jonnelledge.bsky.social at the airport yesterday. Fascinating. Well worth a read.

The spec for my M2 MacBook Air says it can support one external monitor.

I currently have it running with two external HD monitors, an iPad as an extra monitor, plus its internal monitor.

Here's the Arrange Display setting...

In the same article he says he's headed here to BlueSky, but I can't find him...

Yes, we've switched to English sparkling wine. Ridgeview Bloomsbury and Chapel Down NV are the bottles of fizz in my fridge awaiting a special occasion. Not a bottle of French Champagne in sight...

Unless they can sell it to Musk by Sunday…

BTW, Michael Rosen is here too. He's @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Word of Mouth on @bbcradio4.bsky.social hosted by the incomparable Michael Rosen, hosting the utterly brilliant geneticist & presenter @adamrutherford.bsky.social is a fascinating episode that attempts to unpick the language of genetics. Well worth a listen:

It's called "sleeping tabs" in Edge.

Thanks I'm on Edge, which is based on Chrome, so I'll try the Chrome option

Hey @deck.blue I love your app, but I find if I leave the browser window open for a while, the columns freeze. Is there an easy way to refresh each column or do I just have to refresh the entire page? Thx

Slightly worn packaging for Duck Trim Repair Tape 12mm x 4m

OK, sorted. Door seal stuck back with Duck Trim Repair Tape (which sadly they no longer make). Tyre inflator had a broken cable at the contact in the 12V plug. I dismantled the plug, cut the cable back, tinned and re-soldered both strands & reassembled. Works again. Result.

One job creates another. Check tyre pressures on my wife's car I discovered our rapid electric tyre inflator no longer works. So I had to get the manual tyre gauge from my car. Which is when I realised the door seal was coming loose. Her tyres are OK but I now have to fix my door seal & inflator...

Thanks. Several ibuprofen later and I'm feeling a bit more human now.

Had a migraine attack yesterday while doing my Portuguese homework. I managed to go to choir last night and Portuguese class this morning, but I'm now feeling sh*t with pressure behind my eyes and a pain in my head if I stand up quickly or exert myself.

I think it'll be a quiet afternoon.

Remember it well. I used one of these at work.

Can anyone help a pal of mine and ID the UK #castle in the background of this 30s photo? #heritage #history #architecture

My teenager (great niece) seems to do so quite effectively. Bread, and the occasional Yorkshire pudding.

This is a fascinating turn of events

Thanks Steve, beautiful tribute.

TechCrunch going in hard!

An illuminating and insightful read, as ever from DAG. If you don't subscribe to the FT go to google.com and enter the search "site:ft.com The coming battle between social media" (without the quotes) and you'll see the article which you can read without payment.

The lunacy of X owner Elon Musk.

There was no “cover up” of English “child rape gangs”.

You can also use deck.blue in a browser. You'll need to request an "application password" from your BlueSky account settings to log in. Then you can set up multiple feeds in separate columns. I'm using deck.blue now to type this, and I have my Home, You, Notifications and custom News feed all up.

At this point, only one of these is possible (No. 4). Perhaps in my youth No. 3 might have been on the cards, although it's unlikely. Neither of the others was ever feasible...

Understood 😊

They're all up on iPlayer if you want to binge-watch...
