No. Li-ion fires need to be put out with water. Lots of water, and preferably immersion.

Situation now normal. In a good way

I hope not, but Glasgow has had so many ‘convenient’ fires in recent years

Live updates as fire breaks out in Glasgow city centre and trains cancelled A number of major roads in Glasgow city centre are currently shut after a fire broke out ...

Glasgow has - or had - some spectacularly varied and historical architecture. This today - the B-Listed Forsyth building, next to Central Station and the Central Hotel 😢 Fires in Glasgow buildings in recent years can only be a source of suspicion as to cause…

The bridging episode - they’re all looking good but a deal older - would be a very interesting writing challenge. I’d hope that a reboot would be with new storylines

If this turns out to be anything BUT a Firefly reboot, they'll be lynched by the fanbase!

Now it just means that you get looked at with a mixture of pity and contempt. The UK did just the same to itself, albeit with fewer explosions.

His medication must have run out.

AI singularity may come in 2027 with artificial 'super intelligence' sooner than we think, says top scientist We could build an AI that demonstrates generalized, human-level intelligence within three to eight years — which may open the door to a "super intelligence" in a very short space of time.

Only because the definition of The Singularity is movjng as fast in one direction as the horizon for autonomous vehicles is moving in the other. I predict that we may have a Slug Singularity by 2030

The spineless UK government is doing itself and whatever is left of the global perception of the UK immeasurable harm through its sophistry in allowing this traffic.

I’ve been to Yosemite 5 times, but never quite managed to get there for Firefall. I usually camp up a White Wolf - quieter there even in season. Just got to wait for the fall of the Nazis now

Yep - last time I was there, I’d been at Burning Man, so came down after Labor Dat w/wend and was pleasantly surprised at how empty the place was

Lovely shot: I really miss Yosemite, and hope to be able to return one day, without being arrested and deported

That is somewhat unusual: the last Mac I had that was determinedly unreliable was the godawful PowerBook 5300 - we had about a dozen of the things and finally sent them all back

I usually don’t (see a gazillion prior posts) but here I was just making the point that, as well as being the UK’s worst enemy, England is very much its own.

I had most of the intel PowerBooks - while Apple Silicon makes far better use of memory than the discrete Intel architecture, I still don’t think 8GB is good enough for an entry level machine: 16GB is actually fine.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

If you value the NHS and independence from fascistic, untrustworthy US companies, then sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

It is. The glaring issue is the 8GB of RAM.

It’s a long shot, but I’ve long thought that this is the only way to get England to act in its own (and everyone else’s) best interests. By ‘everyone’, I of course do not mean the anti-democracy fascists and xenophobes - this would put them firmly back in their box.

I’m so pleased that I kept our one dual boot machine (used for specific apps only) on Windows 10. Other than that, everything is MacOS (and variants) and Linux.

The fall of The Economist continues apace: for my daring to criticise his uncritical cataloguing of US weapons used in Iran, rather than the integrated analysis that would match its declared ethos, Shashank Joshi has blocked me. Sore point, then? And a ‘journalist’ who won’t defend their position

Add some jeopardy: bring back mercury delay line storage…

Anyone using Grok has to understand a) that it’s fundamentally compromised by intentional training and post-generation skew, b) contributes to the funding of fascist ideology, and c) does this.

…I find it impossible to believe that she wasn’t consciously vibing the Gestapo with that greatcoat.

Christ. I wasn't expecting The Economist to jump on the war porn bandwagon. The clue is in your title: get on it.

She's clearly been taking lessons from Michelle Mone

A view westwards over Loch Voil, with midground trees on a promontory, and the hills of the Braes of Balquhidder in the background, the whole draped in mist and cloud, reflected in the waters of the loch

A little calm amid the chaos… …morning mists over Loch Voil

Give a stupid, wilfully ignorant, psychotic Nazi control of a weapon and they will use it, regardless of the level of threat - none whatsoever in this case. And, as for Pigbreath’s assertion of the first sinking by torpedo since WWII, the British & Argentinians may want to have a word…
