Better late than never, I suppose, but it would have been nice if the government had been alert to the threat of Russian cyber operations causing massive damage to the UK when it really mattered back in 2016.

Is there a (in the vein of ) for twenty-something morons who drive for literally miles glued to their fucking phone and faffing with their fucking hair instead of paying attention to the fucking road? Asking for a me.

Note to self: get a rear cam fitted.

TIL there is a non-zero “legal limit” for cocaine while driving. 😳

Perl: There's more than one way to do it
Python: There are 37,234,108 ways to do it, and all of them are inefficient as fuck, except that one way which you can only find out about if you sacrifice your self-respect and five pints of your own blood on the altar of StackOverflow, if you're not first flamed to hell for asking an inappropriate question.

I am convinced that any academic post with “in residence” in the title is contractually obliged to reply-all to each and every mundane department-wide email to the effect of “I’m sorry I’m too important/busy to attend $EVENT”.

Christ, it sounds like you take your life in your hands if you *checks news* ring the wrong doorbell in the USA.

I’m 49 minutes into “one of those days” and I’m hating it already. 😠

This year I will definitely be treating myself to some , whether I “need” it or not.

@davep Got a bit fed-up with an ongoing project, starting picking at an itch, so now I have yet another stupid project I want to finish... 😩 @textualize

I’m not sure that BBC pay-walking BBC content behind Brit Box is really acceptable.

I’m paying for a tv license that finds their output, so surely it should all be available up front to paying license holders?

Tonight is opening night of a new show at Kitten Lyric Opera (somehow we have season tickets). There's singing, purring, and biting and while I don't understand a word of it, it's performed with such emotion it's quite enjoyable regardless. Especially considering the hour. Then again, this is the early showing; normally I expect the opera to start closer to 3 or 4 am. I believe tonight's aria is titled "Brrrroot? Brrrroot? MowmmbawawoooWEEEE!"

Tech bros love to whine about "The EU cookie policy" that simply doesn't exist the way they imagine it. All these popups are the most radical way to interpret the explicit consent demanded by regulations. An ongoing provocation by the ad/tracker industry to blame their ruthless data hoarding on the EU.
