Thatโ€™s why it was a miracle.

Hmmm. Mineโ€™s a Bosch. It really doesnโ€™t do a good job, particularly of spoons.

I have one of those, but it doesnโ€™t clean the cutlery very well. Does yours?

What is it with people who watch programmes on TV or streaming media and see an actor and say โ€œHey! Thatโ€™s the guy/woman from <some other programme>!โ€

Yes, theyโ€™re actors. They act in different things. Itโ€™s what they do. Why are you surprised by this?

Improve living conditions for everybody.

You cannot work directly on โ€œreuniting the countryโ€.

The country will not exhibit division much when people are happier.

An Ed Davey quote which reads: 
I know Labour MPs are relieved that they are finally allowed to say the Conservativesโ€™ Brexit deal is a disaster.

But that canโ€™t just be a political ruse to attack Nigel Farage โ€“ however much he deserves it.

Or even worse โ€“ given we still have the highest inflation in the G7 โ€“ it mustnโ€™t be a smokescreen to raise taxes on ordinary people.

It must be a call to action.
โ€จWe must negotiate a new UK-EU customs union.

If Labour agree that the Tories' botched Brexit deal is hurting our country, they should stop complaining and start fixing it.

Starting with a new UK-EU customs union.

I think the problem is that we donโ€™t start our prompts with โ€œYou are an expert software developerโ€

And the issue is almost never bad planners. The issue is that in order to widen the roads that have been there since before every household had two tanks, householders would have to give up some of their property. Try convincing an entire street of people to do that.

You wonโ€™t block the entire street if you park on one side of the road, unless the street only has one lane.

I hope that is true, because it suggests that at some point soon, somebody will change their minds.

But by now they know that is not true.

So whatโ€™s going on?

Do companies not need work to be done in a way that works any more?

I feel like weโ€™ve violated some social media contract by not becoming more irate with each other.

Iโ€™m not sure a couple of dozen words can count as a critique ๐Ÿ˜€

But yes, I understand that it cannot simply be unwound. And I also understand that Labour is doing some things that bring us closer.

But what is missing is a simple statement that rejoining is ultimately best, but it will take time.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called โ€œkidsโ€ to excuse their hate. Theyโ€™re not boys and girls, theyโ€™re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

It's interesting how governments and media see the software industry as being made up of CEOs and investors, rather than actual software developers.
