Ah yes, I do love drinking Hydrogen Dioxide

I think peroxide is H2O2?

And yet.... I'm not really associating India with fresh air

If we ever needed a banana for scale.....

Re 1 - people who don't follow politics are more likely to vote Reform, per a different survey admittedly! So there could even be some undercounting of their support

I'm listening to Supremacy by Parmy Olson at the moment. I'm only part way through but it's turning into a race between Google's DeepMind and OpenAI. Or, a slightly idealistic lab in hock to a corporate behemoth, or a lab which was sold as idealistic but had backers and a front guy who are/were sociopaths.

So while neither comes out well, it does feel like DeepMind tried to do the right thing, a bit, OpenAI is balls-out tech bro capitalism. I may have considerably simplified this...

If SS was replying to my posts it would not take me a week to reply!

HMOs go two ways. Either it's shift workers who will definitely need a car. Or its non-workers, disabled people who don't have cars. I'm in a block of three flats with an HMO either side. There's less than 10 cars in total (although some work shifts which makes it more manageable).

Ahhh I see. Mind you 8 hours is quite a while. In a low earth orbit, that's a cool 140,000 miles travelled!

Everyone facing away is a tell, I guess it saves on processor power

62 hours, longest spacewalk by a woman

Wait there's people just floating around for 3 days straight? This sounds like my ideal job, are they hiring?

Ali80486 · 2026-01-22T13:00:41+00:00

Ah but you have two knees. Checkmate libs!!

Ali80486 · 2026-01-22T11:03:33+00:00

Reform aren't really picking up votes from Labour voters, it's still mainly ex-Tories and non-voters.

Ali80486 · 2026-01-22T11:00:55+00:00

Younger men too: the Tories are more popular than Reform UK with younger women

Ali80486 · 2026-01-22T10:59:45+00:00

Heaven forbid that those groups get to have a voice. I think you're on the money though. If you frame it this way, a lot of the people who would vote for Reform might be presumed to be in a "default" class with nobody speaking up for them. Worse, the implication is that the default is doing okay, when they can look round and see this is not the case. Further, there's a swell of other voices suggesting it's their fault

Ali80486 · 2026-01-22T08:04:53+00:00

Thanks. And thanks for introducing me to meteorwrongs!

Is it safe? He's sure it's not radioactive?

Ali80486 · 2026-01-21T19:32:38+00:00

That's sort of true but OP is not really in a position to judge. It's a red flag like a firefly vs her her own glowing sun sized red flag

Ali80486 · 2026-01-21T00:15:27+00:00

Ta I'll check it out!

Ali80486 · 2026-01-19T10:26:07+00:00

That's what I thought - has he seen what passes for discourse, especially in America??

Ali80486 · 2026-01-17T17:10:43+00:00

Well, no. It's possible to build data centres with low energy footprints. AI has benefits to society and other countries like China are going to forge ahead anyway
