Grumpy nerd. Works in IT, drinks beer, and is usually disappointed. I've taken a vow of science.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Obviously Astrology is complete and utter bollocks but today out of boredom I thought I'd use an app to see what celestial object is making me sad and full of despair. It's the the planet Earth!

Hear me out. An app that scrapes the social medias for opinions from verified medical professionals on how long he's got left after his latest diminished shuffling performance and gives you a real time graphical update. It might save me checking the news every five minutes.

I think I've reached the retrospective stage of maturity where I analyse all of the mistakes I've made in my life and can no longer blame them on the boogie.

I like the idea, but I'm sure there's something like a Pythagorean cup where you can drink from it and then offer it to somebody else, and then they drink the iocaine powder?
That's a bit sneakier!

Spotted this today. It's for house plants. I'm tempted to buy a dozen and replace all of the coffee mugs in the office kitchen.

Sky must stop funding hate speech CW: Homophobia, hate speech Sky launched its programme for Pride 2024 with a ringing declaration the company was β€œproud to celebrate LGBTQ+ stories”. But while it was posting shiny videos claiming to ...

If you think, as I do, that GB News' open hostility to the LGBT+ community and Black and Brown people tacitly encourages violence we've made it very easy for you to tell Sky, one of its biggest advertisers, to stop funding hate.

This is a BIG ONE!
By manipulating the bioelectric fields, Prof. Michael Levin has shown how eyes and other organs can grow in unconventional locations, and perhaps most importantly: how cancer cells can be β€˜told’ to stop growing.

I'm concerned I might be going a little Docker crazy. The Pi 5 is coping admirably, though.

Clarkson, Dyson and Lloyd Webber have come in for a bit of hate for being exploitative landowners avoiding tax. Surely we're better than that? We can make it a lot of hate?

I had a stunning new idea for a game show in a dream the other night. I excitedly wrote down my idea before falling back into a stupor again. I looked in the morning, and it read, "The woman wears a shoe on her hand."
My genius knows no bounds, it seems!

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
