Oh I forgot the most important part of the advice which is that bus drivers hold an inherent power over police and can stop them killing you.

One weird trick you wont learn in law school.

Buses are technically a class of boat and their drivers (technically: bus pilots) only answer to maritime law

Just scored petrol with zero wait. I suspect I was slightly lucky (wet Saturday evening, a road closure cutting down on the usual passing traffic, word not having got out it was re-open, more cars having their filler on the right and people not wanting to lift the hose around) . I'd been at the supermarket is a few minutes before and the sight of a tanker refilling the place was causing a build-up of waiting cars in the car park.

I can juuuust about see how he might have thought that going to war was the right thing to do, and compatible with his moral framework. One can’t do that with tax avoidance. There’s no way one can say “well, he thought he was doing the right thing”. (Note: I don’t want to but it could be argued). It’s just naked greed. What fucks me off so much is that the people who engage in this poo poo don’t need to. They’ve already got too much money.

By the time they've made all that money, they've probably already made a thousand choices more unethical than mere tax avoision.

The ones I've tried all seem to be full of oil.

Maybe slightly more (%v/v) than there is fat in dairy milk - it's hard to get precise numbers for most of them. I'm not necessarily convinced prima facie that canola or rapeseed is much worse for you than the fats in dairy milk, though tbf there are also a bunch of bioactive peptides in milk which do good things for GI health.

There are also oat milks with no oil, although I imagine they taste gash. Fun fact, James Joyce wrote about people having "oatmealwater" in their porridge in Ulysses - the original hipster

This woman used to work in my department when I was a postdoc, she used to be one of Irelands leading biologists before she had a major break with reality and is now one of Irelands (Europe's?) leading anti-vaxxer loons (she was always a terrible person)

Recent highlights include claiming a Garda was raping her when he refused to let her barge into a vote-counting cente during a by-election (where her :tinfoil: platform gained few votes).

So I guess Tories are taking a lot of cues from America, and the more extreme fringe is embracing this rubbish now to attract the crank vote. No way that could end badly

5 hours of meetings today and they're all on wretched Teams.
It's TERRIBLE compared to zoom.
It's taken me nearly half an hour for the wretched thing to open and it's hogging all my memory making my laptop keep freezing.
Last time I used it it was just as bad, hence why I opened the app nearly an hour before the first meeting starts at 10.

My corporate HP craptop completely fails to handle the >1GB of RAM that Teams eats up just idling. I'm usually also juggling ~20 XLSX, 10 docs, a few slide decks and multiple browsers just to do the basic functions of my job, plus powering 2 external screens.
