Religious belief. The way to heaven. Does any other profession have such a high opinion of itself?

You can't stop it if you're not the one in power. The slope is the abuse of power. There is no fallacy, but apparently naivete.

Nothing so complicated. With open borders the UK was a popular destination - and the training ground, and work environment. Now lockdowns have forced people to double down. Some below mentioned the infamous Nigerians, it's usually the Albanian region.

The last podcast I listened to, re Kafka, he sounded as if he'd been putting a bit much something up his nose. Then today I heard this suckerberg episode - crikey. Is Zuckerberg taking action re [redacted]'s book? I don't use twitter so haven't noticed anything beyond the podcasts.

I use a 2014 MBP at home, a new xps 13 at work. Everything about the Mac is more polished. The hardware differences being more important to me than the software differences. The xps trackpad is a bit flakey, too sensitive maybe; I'll be working away when suddenly I'll have miraculously switched focus to a window on another screen. Does my palm get to close to it whie typing? I guess, but no such issue on the mac. After less than six months I can see keyboard marks starting to appear on the xps screen. The xps 13 keyboard is far better than the Latitude I had previously, which was outright hell, but the mac is higher quality, precision engineering. No contest for me, but I do wish Apple had built a Linux OS for compatibilty reasons. And the reason I'm still on a 2014 model is because the subsequent models haven't appealed. I've been considering an x1 carbon as a mac replacement. Time may soon force my hand.

Does the microwave background come from the centre of the universe where the big bang was; and the light from stars on the far side, flying in the opposite direction to us, take longer to reach us than the microwave background does?
