Midlife crisis? Me?! Never…

Ah, didn’t realise that was happening. I’m more Cotteridge, but would have happily joined if I had had the time.

@atomic14.bsky.social just watching a documentary about Clive Sinclair, where they are about to launch the ZX81 successor. One suggested name was “Rainbow”, but then they went with Spectrum. Coincidence, or was that your inspiration for the name? 🙂

Thank you! ⭐️

Nice! Is there a description how to do that? Or an idea for a video? 😉

@atomic14.bsky.social hi Chris, how easy would it be to add a battery to the ESP Rainbow?

Mit Luka wird alles besser 😶

However, the lyrics are rather progressive…

@hotgpod.bsky.social hi Dirk, happy to listen to diversions, they’re very interesting!

I admire your ability to be positive in this time!

Anyone making an argument that any group should "accept reduced rights" invalidates their legitimacy on principle.

@hotgpod.bsky.social I‘m impressed by the cloned voice. Without you mentioning it I wouldn’t have known that. But then, I listen to it at 1.5x, so maybe that makes it harder to identify.

What always puzzled me was the origins of the „Amerikaner“, a semispherical dough thing with a sugar glaze.

😂

Sounds like they’re speaking either an Eastern European language (initially), and in the meeting clearly a version of French.
Bohemians 🙂

Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels or nuclear.

Well, if we don’t switch to 100% renewable energy everything collapses when we run out of oil and gas 🤷🏼‍♂️
Plus the added bonus of less pollution and cheaper energy prices.

@atomic14.bsky.social Reading your Rainbow updates really brings home how complex it is to produce something; so many steps and things to consider! Really looking forward to it 🙂

Tony Blair has exposed an inconvenient truth about Net Zero
Most politicians will not dare say that the Net Zero emperor is naked – so the former prime minister is brave to admit there is a ‘credibility gap’ at the heart of it, says John Rentoul

The BBC is institutionally biased towards the right and the far right, and here's the proof: the results of an almost perfect before-and-after experiment.

The broadcaster behaves like Starmer’s government: suppress the left, cave to your critics, and undermine your own survival, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot
