Thanks for the follow, that's very nice of you.
Generally the way I do things is, if you engage me in conversation, and it goes ok, I'll usually follow back.
But you don't have to either, if you just want to read and have a chuckle, that's fine too. I'm highly introverted, I get it.

Apparently, according to Mum, who would recite the most hellish story about giving birth, I didn't actually appear until about 5pm.
So I'll stick with that. :)

This morning’s adventure at the doctor’s surgery:
Me: I had a Covid jab yesterday at Boots and they gave me this slip to hand to you.
Nurse (looking at it): Well, I must say you’re in excellent shape for your age.
Me: Gosh, thank you.
(The nurse points out the year of my birth on the slip: 1669)

“China is building the “mint”…at an incredible, world-changing scale, retained state control over its distribution. Its deployment of new electricity generation, from renewables, is staggering. It met its 2030 target of 1,200GW of renewable capacity 5 yrs early, in 2025.

Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out
As we accelerate into an all-electric, all-digital age, the ultimate representation of productive capacity becomes the kilowatt-hour (kWh).

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.
