When computer scientists make a false claim, it's a soundness bug, and it's a huge deal When mathematicians make a false claim? Its a counterexample, and they all pat themselves on the back
Genuinely, a lot of you are hating pointlessly on the two greatest equalisers of the 20th century: cheap air travel and the EU Freedom of Movement

Taking out a huge loan to buy a company then saddling the company with the debt used to buy it is some scam-ass shit.
You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

I am thoroughly sick of offers of help in every bit of software I touch. I am now wasting about thirty minutes a day dismissing dialog boxes. As I used to say to my kids (a lot): If you weren't asked it isn't 'helping'.

Have to say… when Jenrick thought he needed to be a one-nation Tory to make it in Cameron’s govt, he went for it. Then a firm remainer. Then a Brexit evangelist to catch Johnson’s eye. And now full fash to creep up to his new far right gang. The needy little twat really wants to belong, doesn’t he…

Ex-PM Starmer said, in response to Raise the Colours terrorising people, ‘I am supporter of flags’, ‘I’m very encouraging of flags. I think they’re patriotic and I think they’re a great symbol of our nation’ and his family had ‘got St George’s flag in our flat’ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
