Agreed - and it lives on today in some of my friend groups. When we see some random, chaotic image and it can be read as "TITOR" it's always shared!

This is a horrible straw-man of the situation which somewhat conveniently manages to sidestep any real acknowledgement of the genuine harm and its scale.

Terrible article.

I might be missing something obvious but there only appears to be the option to draw something in predefined places - where the bubbles appear on the map.

I'm trying to mark up somewhere new that doesn't have a bubble and I can't see how I'm supposed to do that.

Ok, I give up.

How am I supposed to draw something?

hmmmmm...

2006, sat in a job interview. Interviewer says he'll Bluetooth over a file to me - what's by phone's name?

2006, the year that Tool's 10,000 Days had been released, which I was enjoying and, being a bit of an Edge Lord, I'd named my device after a lyric from Vicarious - which, IIRC fit perfectly into the name space and made me very happy:

Excellent. Still got the job though!

As the default simulation played out beautifully on-load, I immediately started to question: "hang on, I thought there wasn't a solution for 3 bodies, but this looks stable".

Before I could complete the thought, it fell apart magnificently :)

We've recently come to this conclusion with our Cockapoo. His mother was a working Cocker Spaniel.

When the weather is poor we have often tried to get shorter walks in dry spells but augment it with as much ball time as possible to make sure he's getting enough exercise (since he generally dislikes bad weather).

It's become apparent that there's no possibility of satiety through chasing the ball though. He will simply go forever, however tired he looks.

I joked that as a Labrador will seemingly eat itself sick, a Spaniel will run itself lame.

Isn't a better question: why would it matter?

Whichever is true, we all benefit, so why agitate over it? Conflating the two issues will not generate a single iota of good so drop it.

Mr Jenkinson will be here any minute now, chasing ambulances.

100% bullying.

Something that isn't seemingly being commented widely on either is that Vance started hitting Zelenskyy with bursts of multiple questions and as soon as he started answering the first there were immediate challenges and redirections.

English isn't Zelenskyy's first language. Imagine how tough this must have been.

At that point the questions weren't questions anymore - they were statements that were left unchallenged.

> Europe's defence should not be entirely on the American tax payer

True. However.

The US has wanted to play a major role in Europe for 80 years because it meant they controlled the narrative. This, co-incidentally was favourable to European countries because they could spend their money elsewhere.

Over the past few years the US has decided that it would prefer to play in the Pacific rather than Europe and so has been edging away.

It's true that Western Europe has been slow to respond, but it's also important to acknowledge that Trump just changed the pace of this redirection and so it's not entirely on one or the other side.

Speaking as a worker this seems like a positive move.

Stepping outside that though - how is this going to impact the wider economy? The UK is in a tough spot. Partially self-inflicted, partially political, partially just the way things are now.

Will this improve things? Will it help or hinder?

Cookie Clicker taught me this about Destiny and Destiny 2 as well.

I got a lot of enjoyment out of those games - and they were partly the backdrop to socialising online with IRL friends who didn't live close to me - but at some point the absurdity of them became too obvious and we stopped.

"moved on" - to Call of Duty.

> I remember the first time I picked up a Wired magazine and couldn’t tolerate the insane lack of continuity.

I've never been able to articulate why I couldn't stand Wired so succinctly! Thankyou
