I'm very much a subscriber to the 3 different kinds of friends:
Friends for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Friendships take work and care on both sides to maintain, and I'd be the first to admit I'm not very good at it. However sometimes, lives just drift apart and that's fine too.

I knew someone in the mid 2000s who refused to rotate or crop his digital photos because it would resave the jpg and degrade the quality.
Hooray for metadata these days

It's a thought-provoking article. My mum's had breast cancer & was recently contacted by a cousin who'd also had cancer & tested +ve for CHEK2 gene. Mum asked me if she should have test but she's already such a medical worrier I said it's not worth it for the stress. You can't unknow once you know

Can't argue that this would indeed be a space-saving way of mounting bikes alongside an office space, but maybe only if you're from another dimension

Yes I know there are bigger problems out there in the world but finding out I need planning permission to convert half my garage to a utility / office without changing any of the external appearance is annoying to say the least.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

As I was preparing my change request at work yesterday, considering what the impact of my change would be, the likelihood of success, how it would be rolled back if it went wrong, all to be reviewed by a group of my peers for a flipping BIOS update, I thought about what Trump gets away with

The lad over the road who once squared up to me after his dog chased my daughters and who eventually apologised and shook my hand a year later has just knocked on the door to borrow a SIM card removal tool. Redemption arc complete, I guess ✨

Reminds me of actual scenarios I've seen at work where someone uses AI to create document or presentation from a few bullet points and another person uses AI to summarise it back down again

Oh for Labour to beg/borrow/steal some select chunks from the Green manifesto instead of Reform's.
Would I rather have more cooperation with the EU resulting in a full rejoin or masked ICE enforcers grabbing kids off streets? πŸ€”

Hope Beats Hate: Green Party Defeats Reform and Labour in Huge Gorton and Denton By-Election Victory A concerted political and media campaign to scare voters about aΒ β€œGreen Menace” winning this by-election failed, reports Adam Bienkov

In a battle between hope and hate, hope won out.

Why voters rejected the hateful politics of Reform and instead embraced the "Green Menace" in Gorton and Denton

Would you consider a non-aggression pact with my new party called "Seeing Signs"?
Our only policy is to make sure road signs are clean and that they're not hidden by massive trees.
Our slogan is "We're seeing signs".
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to 1995, betray the trust of my classmate and tell the world (class) that he'd actually copied a Microsoft Encarta entry for his homework. Think that could put a stop to this.

My youngest showed me this a few years ago and I was impressed. Still does it now at 9 years old, sometimes styling it up starting with arms crossed πŸ˜„

Bit disappointed there hasn't been an 🚨EMERGENCY PODCAST 🚨 with the tagline 🎡 "Upset Starmer, Indiscretions... By-election-uhhh" 🎡
