I talk about advertising, unionisation, and gaming a lot. I have fur babies and food comas. Prone to an occasional rant (soz).

I just spent a small fortune on a new gaming PC with probably Nvidia's last great graphics card, the RTX 5090. Nobody is coming for my gaming rig! I have all the power!!!

No, sir, this egg was tempered, not poached! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TDD...

It's when you sit the egg down and give it a gentle talking to while pouring a bit of the broth over it, and then letting it climb into the broth calmly. Eggs are very sensitive and get themselves into a scramble when they rush.

Made ramen last night which is tonic for any Monday related gloom.

I enriched the broth with a tempered egg, dark soy and some garlic granules.

Toppings were roast chicken, egg noodles, shredded carrot, mangetout, bamboo shoots, and soy marinated eggs.

As per the first law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another or transferred between systems.

Is it possible that Americans learn more about geography through their wars than in their schools?

Unfortunately crude oil affects so much more than just energy. It’s remarkable how much of the modern world is reliant on it.
Plastics, chemicals, lubricants, asphalt, synthetic materials (most clothing), pharmaceuticals, consumer goods (anything plastic). How do switch all of that + our energy?

English thought of the day.

Most cups and mugs are the wrong size for the type of teabag they are used for.

For example, the subtle flavour of Bergamot in Earl Grey is only suited to small cups or mugs.

And don’t use two teabags in a large cup.

You’re not in Las Vegas, for goodness sake.

Benjamin Franklin was the first hustle bro and would’ve been insufferable if he had access to LinkedIn.

If you moved to Dubai/UAE on the pretence of not paying UK taxes, then our taxes shouldn’t be used to come pick you up. Your entitlement was already unbearable - refusing to assimilate or respect local laws and culture, hidden away in your westernised enclosures. Worse than the Benidorm Brexiters.

Well done! I’ve got one of those in the works and it passed the board last week without getting hacked to pieces. Looking forward to LinkedIn hating it later in the year. πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Idiots used a picture of a B2.

Yes, same here. I checked flight radar and nothing. So my assumption is it was two B1 Lancers on their way to Iran.

07.03.2026 09:39 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Two very large and very loud aircraft that weren’t on flight scanners just flew over.

My bet is the B1s are en route to Iran from Fairford.

Or additional B1s or even B2s just arrived.

I saw a teenage boy in town earlier dressed in baggy blue jeans and a red cap backwards, looking exactly like Fred Durst did back in the day. It's so weird to see kids wearing your clothes. I know my dad laughed at me when I turned up in flares as a teen, so here we are now. Our turn now.

"Customers will switch to brands with transparent data protection and AI policies" is the new "customers will switch to brands doing good for the world."

More nonsense, biased survey crap that will never be reflected by real-world consumer behaviour.

Christ. Never read the trend reports, kids.

I think all of these film award shows should happen every 4 years and all at the same time, so there's actually award-winning films in the mix and not the best of an average bunch every year with one standout film every 3-4 years. Should be more like the Olympics or World Cup.

I've said for years that Reform will win the next election, but I could see the Greens being the second biggest party at others' expense. They could also still form a government and stop Reform if they formed a coalition with whoether 3rd biggest party is (presumably a very diminished Labour).
