It occurs to me that the weird creepy robots that techbros keep failing to make are partly rubbish because you've made them humanoid. Which is really complicated and badly balanced. Why? Is it a lack of imagination? There are surely better designs for most tasks.

But I have received a delivery note, and it does seem genuine, saying that they can't deliver an item because the sender was £5 short in postage. And I want to know what it is, but also £5...

Bloody hell, I didn't know the details of Rockstar sacking workers. It looks like overt union busting and shocking flouting of UK employment law.

It's Tuesday. It's November. And it's been awhile. So lets tell the story about the eel, the scheming wife who ate it, and the talking magpie that ratted her out!
That's right! It's time for the eel tale from the 1370s blockbuster hit, "The Book of the Knight of the Tower." 1/5

Strangely my very much indoor palm with a layer of gravel designed to keep things out of the soil has fungus in the pot. I don't know how it's happened. But also the mushroom looks like this.

Dear Severn Trent,
It surely doesn't come as a surprise that it rains in England, so please make drains that don't overflow and flood roads.

Yet again Labour are just cheap. Want to hire a Tory? £10k a day is the going rate. Want a nomination for a 6 figure high powered job? £2,900. No wonder they're the party of business, they have undercut their competition massively.

I am a tolerant person, but the next person that sets off a firework in my earshot is going to get their intestines ripped out and used to strangle them. Shut the fuck up you fucking cunts. It's been three fucking weeks!

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

Today's a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin, British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose untimely death meant three men shared a Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA for which she'd done most of the work.

I don't know if the Tesla people are clever and cynical enough try and keep their brand in the news by silly things, or whether journalists are just extra credulous.
But Elon Musk promised to give them the moon on a stick and they promised to give him seven bajilion space dollars.
It's not real

HR guessing how white you are by the shape of your skull to see if they want to offer you a job is it?

Not both.
