Oh, what fresh hell is this?

I’d also recommend watching Yes Minister so you can laugh at the irony when they’re discussing implementing a national ID card and you forget that it was filmed in the 80s.

That’s called vertical integration.

Sue JK Rowling next please.

The difference is Rowling hates you for who you are, Moore hates you for what you’ve done.

And he has the records.

It was called Dodgem Logic, and it was glorious. It ran for 8 issues, was filled with articles written by Moore and others on whatever damn subject they wanted, from supernatural to philosophical, to just plain weird (a comic called Astounding Weird Penises). There were also short stories and illustrations. I have every issue and they have a place of pride in my collection for how wonderful they are.

And before that, we were doppelgangers that had stolen people’s children away: https://youtube.com/shorts/WH5zYErWmAQ

Meatloaf is simple, but yummy and filling.

Akira is one of the greatest of all time. If you’ve only seen the movie, the manga is so much more, but I believe both are required to fully understand it.

It’s a euphemism for “I heard you have oil, want!”

Nah, never give Amazon money. They don’t deserve it.

Being anti Israel is not the same as being antisemitic, it’s being anti-zionist.

I wear shorts for most of the year. Using a urinal while wearing shorts, you realise how much piss splashes everywhere. Really not hygienic.

Unfortunately BT’s systems are a hodge podge of different systems written and built over the last 40+ years, in various states of development from brand new, bleeding edge, to abandoned, running on an excel spreadsheet. To say the overall system was “designed” is to misunderstand the size and complexity of BT and its legacy systems. The fact that it works at all is a miracle borne out of the sweat and talent of great engineers hampered by busybody managers.

How does he still have any assets at all? He would only be allowed enough to eat gruel for the rest of his life.

Originally as a hobby, but I’ve been a professional web developer/software engineer for over 2 decades now.

As someone who has been programming web apps since the mid 90s, this is a great article and I learnt a lot that’ll I’ll be using from now on. Thanks for that.

Don’t forget laziness.

Personally I wouldn’t start with The Colour of Magic, as it’s not the best. He was very much trying to find his style with that one, and while it is a decent book, most would say to start with either Equal Rites or Mort.

The great thing about the Discworld books is that you don’t really need to read them in order and can jump around the series without spoiling anything. Check out this image, it shows the series within the whole. I’m very fond of The Watch series, as well as The Witches, and Death series.

When I do commute to work, I unfortunately take a bus after my train, so I’m affected by the traffic. I avoided commuting in December because the traffic was so bad it more than doubled my commute time from 1.5 hours to well over 3 hours. Thankfully I can work from home, but I do like working in the office with my team when I can.

I’ve had so many conversations with coworkers about not having a car, and most of them just don’t get that yes public transport is slow, but it’s only as slow as it is because everyone has a car. If more of those who are able to use public transport did, traffic would be so much less for everyone and public transport would be a fast option.
