It occurred to me at 5am: the way I only care about stuff as it disappears is like a cat who only reacts to a toy as you pull it out of sight.

@nickharkaway.com News today of a consultation on UK rollout on facial recognition cameras. But I can't find the consultation on the web. Have you any idea? (Why should you. I know. Sorry)

My parents read it daily for donkeys'. That and Private Eye. I used to reckon I could do anything I wanted as long as I kept out of both. (Then they moved to 0.7 miles away....)
Yes very sane.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

@nickharkaway.com Morning. News that police in Staffordshire are using AI to answer enquiries sounded very Gnomon.

Being a parent to an 8 and 6 year old, I'm frequently reminding them to use please and thank you. Not quite sure that the adult that I was standing next to when waiting for my coffee order appreciated it when I did the same to them.

This. You see? All humans should be back in the cave by 10pm in winter.
Otherwise, this.

Good news as you say.
I hate travelling far in winter at night with things going wrong. Spineless. Wish you back home soon.
