Apparently I have a controversial belief about the modern software industry. I don’t think it should be controversial.
The belief is this: writing new code in C in 2023 is like installing plumbing in a new house using lead pipes.

And presently they came to Tillingham, where, if Wells had done his research properly, he would have known it is basically a mudflat and far too shallow to float a torpedo ram, which had a draft of 6 metres.
Going through moons of the solar system, and I get the naming scheme, but it's still funny that Uranus has a moon called Margaret.

I now have a Welcome To Paradise earworm! (~2:30) Wonderfully cathartic song for those brought up in that world.

Seeing someone on Reddit saying that they never used the maths (specifically, “pi”) they learned at school, and that it was pointless learning it.
I have used trigonometry and calculus in my everyday life to make short work of problems, mostly relating to DIY. If you reach middle age without m any this stuff, then I can almost guarantee that you have done several things the hard way when you didn’t need to.

I’ve used very little of the math they tried to teach me and forgotten an awful lot of it:(
But my opinion wasn’t that it was a pointless thing to be taught, but that school did one hell of a bad job at doing it:( At one point I was good at maths (at least compared to my peers) and slowly they sucked every bit of fun and wonder out of it:(

@rachel_norfolk There are three of us???
Also I said day one that Google having a browser was to further their own goals of stealing information and forcing ads everywhere.
People were quite upset with me for having that opinion. But here we are, and I have no joy in being right about this or anything else negative:(

Those UK Election manifestos in full:
Tories: We are going to take the light fittings and run to a tax haven. We will blame this on the trans.
Labour: We’re going to let other people take the light fittings and run to tax havens. It’s still the trans’ fault.
Lib Dems: 48 hour moritorium on stealing light fittings.
SNP: We want independence from HMRC, in case the light fittings are taxable.
Greens: Screw this, we’re going down the pub.

it's worse than what we have now it also removes all anti discrimination laws as a compromise 🤡They exchanged one legal assessment to a million daily micro assessments. Now it isn't how much bs u can tell the court but how well u pass
It's not a good law. It also forces newly out trans fems in the military
Misgenders trans parents
Sets legal groundwork for trans exclusion in sport
Atleast if u got ur tsg it's something you can point to and fight discrimination.

There are a couple of places when driving I have to play certain tracks, because it's the law:
Crossing the bridge between the Algarve and Spain, I play Back to the Future because it's a timezone border and growing up in an island nation, that still weirds me out a bit.
The A3 near Petersfield has a roundabout with a brown tourism roadsigns to "Bird World". That one gets the Jurassic Park theme.
