DD: Fondly regard abomination.

Never use a mandoline without literal protective gloves, those things are infinitely scarier than anything else in the kitchen and they thirst for the blood of the innocent. And the guilty, for that matter.

I like that the headline itself just says "Queen" like they're just trying to subliminally acclimatise people to it

Hate to deflate (sorry) people's excitement, but there's a much more reasonable explanation for why so many flying things are getting shot down: The US let the first one fly coast to coast, they were watching it and figuring out how to identify and classify it the entire time, and now they know how to spot the others. The first one they shot down wasn't the first China sent by a long road.

Admittedly GSK and Astra Zeneca are different companies, but the market forces that affect them should be fairly similar, right?
So it's quite interesting to compare this BBC article about how AZ are building their new factory in Dublin rather than Macclesfield definitely definitely because of the tax, definitely 100% just tax. Oh and also because of the NHS price controls.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64596743
Meanwhile the chair of GSK is literally in the room for the secret cross party political summit about how Brexit's hosed everything:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/11/revealed-secret-cross-party-summit-held-to-confront-failings-of-brexit

It's going to be interesting to see how often other sectors where there's a profit squeeze try to repeat this line. Brexit being the elephant in the room that we don't mention, but nevertheless have to create space for by throwing out pay rises, regulation or taxation.

I'm switched off before the shift has even ended. Like have you ever taken the tube at 8am or 5pm? Commuting is one of the worst parts about working most of the time.

she's right,
i loving love switching off from work by worrying that my poo poo northern rail train i paid out the arse for is going to be cancelled and getting real annoyed that even though i finished work at 5, i'm not going to be home until 7:30, then i can start doing all the house work and cook for myself.


way better than just switching my lovely work laptop off at 5 and then switching off from work by not being on a poo poo train from home and getting home in a couple of hours and can do some cool poo poo like not work or use a train

Did you know that you can only switch off at the end of the day aboard a crush loaded Pacer? It's a weird trick of human psychology (Hitachi hates it).

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Currently sitting in a plane about to take off from London to bring me back up to Scotland to attend a 3 hour meeting where I spoke for 15 minutes and presented 4 slides.

my work has like 15 people coming to my office for a 4 hour social fun day (they're staying over the night before so hotel + train tix cost) next week.
and the expenses for it are charged to tax payer money

Someday that statue is going to topple over and break, releasing your grandfather's soul which will possess a family member who tries to bring about his resurrection, probably involving a blood orgy ritual sacrifice.
