Good times. I started my computing life with a ZX81 at home, trying to get Basic to work and a BBC Micro B at school, making the turtle move with Logo.

I have no idea what Dorsey's motivations are, but well done for defending the points the troll was making. You condescending fuckwit.

Fancy biding your time all this time to just pop up and be the dullest, most obvious troll you can possibly be.

Ah, yes. Dorsey, that paragon of... well, I'm sure he's a paragon of something. However, unlike all of Elon's many, many internet simps, he's (probably) met and spoken to the man, being as he's own Twitter's board. And if not, people will say a lot of things for nearly a billion dollars, which...

I don't really give a toss about twitter personally, although I respect that it's important to a lot of people. However, this sort of thing: "Much respect, Mr Musk! You proved them wrong again!" Makes me feel like vomiting, preferably all over the fawning tosspots who come out with this sort...

@fragile it's about the same size as my current MB 4x4, a big ole dirty diesel and that has no problems in town or commuting (although, that latter is a thing of memory). It regularly carries a filthy dog, bags of manure, compost, cement and all sorts of other things and looks like a van inside...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-60922717 A disaster, you say? Not even in the top 100 downloads, big "waiting lists", no actual "truths" from the man himself, you say? Well, colour me surprised. Yes.

It might be, but isn't always and they do (some) vetting to ensure people are suitable... And you can't go into combat until you're 18. Anyone under 17.5 joining is sent to a training college nowadays as part of basic, then will do specialisation training.

Ironically, this is pretty much exactly how I feel about Stormlight, although it's not so much about not knowing what was going on rather than just not giving a shit. Oh look, the war criminal is reflecting and the emo kid is pouting. Again. Another half a million words, right there. Yippee.

You forgot the world beating vaccine rollout. ;)

Sssh. Don't peddle narratives that disagree with the miserablist, contrarian posturing about how awful social media is after 20 fucking years on an internet forum. :D Honestly. I'm not a great fan of social media in general, but it's definitely possible to read far too much into stuff. Quick...

Best not be too rude about your next Prez, eh? He might be vengeful when he gets back to the Oval Office...

A lot of words to say nothing. The simple truth is that none of us know and we're all just idly speculating. I can't personally see China endangering their own international financial position to support Russia for no good reason other than to thumb their nose at the West, though. It makes not...

One doesn't imagine that China will do that simply out of the goodness of their spirit and a sense of shared Communist utopia, though. There'd have to be something in it for them and I'm not sure what Russia has that China needs so much it risks alienating the west, much of which is their...

I shouldn't. Everyone is different and it would be an incredibly dull world if we felt the same way about everything. Plus, it is particularly sneery and conceited. I'm sure the people who don't enjoy the same things as you can do other things that you can't or don't enjoy and get plenty of...

Yeah, I've got plenty of actual work to do during the time I'm paid for it. These From games are just bringing work into my leisure time. Not for me.

Where is that happening? Surely it's just a throwaway comment by a faceless person, probably made out of frustration? No one (sensible) is expecting it to actually achieve anything. As for "his first impulse", how can the blogger possibly know what the faceless tweeter has been involved in...

He said, on his blog. TLDR, everyone's a critic.

Roast Beef. Seared to seal, then slow cooked in some red wine, carrots, onions, potato and beef stock, with a little salt, pepper and oregano to round out the flavour and a few chilli flakes to add a little zzzz. Then served with beautiful golden roasted potatoes, yorkshire puddings, garden...
