I have zero tolerance for this. If you behave like this within my earshot *I* will eject you from the premises, and my 1000 year ancestry and coat of arms will power my boot up your arse.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
Tech-bros are amazing. There's nothing they cannot solve by fundamentally and completely misunderstanding the problem.

Not only does this (stock) Hyundai beat the (tuned) GT-R at its own game, I don't think Nissan will be able to respond. C21 Nissan can't do what C20 Nissan did. But switch off the silly noises and pretend gearbox and let the electronics do its thing - that WAS the Skyline mantra: Trust the tech.

Few people understand that the UK university system is in crisis, but even fewer realise that many of the people losing their jobs are amongst the best in their fields
Glen O'Hara@gsoh31.bsky.social · 4d agoSo it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)
Popping out in my space-age EV so just checking the weather out there. Yup, calm. Blast off!

Sky News currently interviewing an earthquake expert who sounds exactly like Kermit the Frog. <significant cognitive dissonance>
I'm still intrigued by this keyboard that has buttons for which side of the bed you got out of.
And hey presto! RISC OS can now focus an icon without making it editable – all keypresses are delivered to task: [explanation in Alt]
It's annoying that RISC OS does not have the concept of a focussed icon in general, only of an icon containing a text cursor. Thanks to RO5 weirdness there's only one bit left in the flags too. Acorn hacked around the omission in set-top boxes, but it's a real API blunder. <hacks the wimp>
It's great to see Jay Kay moving so well again after his back injury.

In a reversal of his attempts to rename institutions and places after himself, Donald Trump has directed the Department of the Interior to change the San Andreas Fault to Joe Biden's Fault.
Elon Musk is an excellent argument for doing *something* about the mega wealthy, but 1 the UK can’t do anything and 2 a 98% Elon Musk is just as dangerous as a full Elon Musk
Meanwhile we allow global gas prices to set the price we pay for our own wind and sun too - and that’s the single biggest reason our bills are so high, especially during an energy crisis.
