Watching stargate sg1 on Netflix. S2e17. Got nerdsniped by the little maths challenge. A body switching device, but any given swap cannot be undone - how do you revert?

Fairly easy but pleased to have a solution far ahead of the characters!

I get the symbol originally with a cut paste, from search unicode <nameofsymbol>

The shortcut looks like .Omega - or whatever

I also have typoed words. E.g. at for a period, I needed to type GdaΕ„sk

Okay, but the consultation was a little while back. A point that I wish the potential ministers fuelling this β€œdebate” didn’t see so eager to forget

If I had been more organised, I would have thought about @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social tickets given I am on a rare trip to London, and will shortly be cycling past.

Of course, past me wouldn’t have known how tired I am - I doubt James would appreciate me napping.

Looks a great show tonight.

I am in London, did the business for the day and decided to cycle over to Battersea.

Having a coffee and keep wanting to ask the manager, if pret was a
Family name. Stopped myself as it would gave sounded mad.

Thanks putting β€œpret the manager” in my head @marcusbrig.bsky.social

Paperback Writer / The Ballard Of John And Yoko (feat. Pastel Vespa)

It won’t be, but I’ll go for Bob Downe and Pastel Vespa’s cover of Paperback Writer.

Go big, or go home.

You *will* be making a playlist?

Quite apart from the major thrust, the sentence about β€œnot recognising birthright citizenship” seems a touch…. Unconstitutional?

But what do I know? After all I can read and think, I am not the target audience.

I get it. I try to fight against it, but I get it.

And it’s frustrating when others don’t.

My day job is people facing, but I do try and carve quiet time.

If you’ve not tried, can recommend some time on Lundy. The boat leaves and you are there for 2-3 days before next!

So ready for s21. The world needs it.

Still want to see Sindhu Vee, (And, if he’d do it, the great Johnny Ball!)

That is frankly bizarre. A writer who dislikes it and articulates that, fine. I would rather they write about something else, but fine.

But making it a requirement of a post…..? very odd

I know the point was β€œcanada yay”, but always amazed that the US seems to put weight on polygraphs - there’s no real basis for their efficacy. They test stress, not honesty.

Looks up my street (metaphorically), but don't think I can get over to it (physically)

Hope rest of run goes well

Listening to β€œGhost Town” from the Specials - and my brain went β€œI’d love hear @thehornesection.bsky.social cover this”.

And then β€œno job to be had in this country” - might require a guest vocalist for that bit.

Yaaahhh ya ya ya de dah yah… this too-wnn…. Is coming like a ghost town….

@innersloth.com you guys should have a β€œshift and seek mode”

Default settings: imp can only kill when they shift to match crew (and ideally can go straight from one disguise to another), crew can vent, crew reports turned off, low number of tasks (one long, two sht) - fast and frantic chase ensues.

For the cost of that campaign, they could do a trial free issue with ad revenue.

I see that Artemis IV is now the earliest moon landing date for that program, 2028. In practice it’ll be 2029 minimum. The silver lining is that Mango Mussolini won’t get to bask in it.

No ”right” answer. β€œYes” and you are imposing yourself, β€œNo” and you are hypocritical.

Team GB face uphill task for Olympic medal in four-man bobsleigh Team GB face an uphill task to win an Olympic medal in the four-man bobsleigh event as they sit seventh at the halfway point in Cortina.

Uphill task? That doesn’t seem right…
