Luckily, 75 mp(US)g isn't too difficult to do, and I can do better in warmer weather.

Some calculation/conversion suggests we're paying an average of $6.79 per US gallon of petrol at present.

I have found them useful for a caffeine hit on long motorway journeys which is slightly more pleasant than an espresso yet is still small in volume.

I like a good Goatse reference (as anyone reading the test fixtures for one of my applications would show) but this one's a bit much.

Generally I'd agree but it was hard to resist this, which is funny if you're familiar with the author (and if you're not you'd probably not be looking at the site): sirwilliamhope.org/404

From Private Eye: appointment of Andrew as Trade Envoy was vigorously promoted by Mandelson and by Tony Blair who overruled the principal opponent of the plan - none other than Andrew’s big brother…It would certainly be interesting to see notes revealing why Blair ignored His Majesty’s sage advice at the time.

And if you’re wondering β€œWhy is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

I'll leave my witty quip as I pass the Wharf Inn as an exercise for the reader.

Similar view, albeit a little closer, to what I would have got for Star Wars.

On a particular journey my satnav will direct me down Wharf Road. Unfortunately, I cannot resist telling any passengers at this point that it is a good day to drive.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

Was about to order a tasty-looking banoffee pie this evening, which I've not had for a while, and remembered to ask if the caramel was salted. It was. This muck keeps turning up and defiling foods I'd like to eat and it's getting rather tiresome.

If you've not seen it, and like a bit of cheese, it's well with a watch IMO.

Close up of an ugly and angular spacecraft resembling some sort of cargo hauler. Above the windows of what is presumably the bridge is a confederate battle flag.

Sadly, there seems to be to much of the vile stuff still on shelves. I have to check products before buying just in case.

Then again, they don't have control of nuclear weapons, or of our digital infrastructure, unlike some other nonces one could mention.

Indeed, as the purser. I will (probably) be in the band.

What's something you've never tried in the bedroom but really want to?

Me: sleeping a full 8 hours and waking up actually refreshed with a will to live.
