I’m wifi router cat 1

It’s like they are just bad at this. The one device I have where I can’t block YouTube’s ads is set to route through Tokyo, so the ads are in Japanese, which I barely understand.

Yes, apparently I learned Swedish as soon as I stepped off the plane in Stockholm. I’m even logged into your site and you have my home address, you twits.

America could sure use less internal combustion and more high-speed rail.

Uh, what? I’ll use a quote when it neatly captures what I was thinking, and credit it to the original author. The phrase is the important part I guess, but fair play to the author.

If you’re drawing authority from it, that’s on you. Sometimes you just like the turn of phrase and are giving credit.

I quite enjoy a half dozen sea-snots (just fresh with a wedge of lemon please), but I can see the lack of appeal.

But what if there’s no war and we build a connected, coordinated and supportive society for nothing? Seriously though, if we are to increase ‘military’ spending, then it seems like a great idea to use that budget on approaches that help us deal with other emergencies as well.

1984 missed that our telescreens would be portable and the hate isn’t limited to two minutes per day.

As a child and into my teens, I had an inner monologue that was switched on all the time. After practising meditation and reading without subvocalisation, I was finally able to ‘shut up’ where stopping the monologue was as easy as stopping talking. Anyway, I’d encourage anyone to give it a try. Now being able to think without distracting chatter is well worth it for me.

In pictures, for one example

BILL ACT 🤦‍♂️

Maybe in the not too distant future we will build our roofs out of solar panels and walls out of batteries.

I’m the last of the original developers of a particular system and now it’s my turn for management to move me on. There’s a new person and they are being instructed to use AI to work on it. It’s like moving the system to hospice care, looked after by the janitor with an Alexa until the lights go out.

Our ancient tradition since the 1960s.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. […] The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” - Eisenhower

Do you know what “most” means?

Fido

How about you start with the criminals who have 34 felony convictions?

Yep, I don’t see any problem with the headline. Seems like sensible advice.
