iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

one which is running two slightly different simulations and checking the answers closely match. I see the author has done just that. One of the biggest dangers was analysis being done by people who didn't understand its limitations and uncritically accepting the results...

Fair enough but the government should be able to work that out. According to AI it looks like most high earners are past the age where they need to use childcare.

It won't go away. The antisemites will be continually putting motions to branch meetings to target jews in their area and they'll try and get any member who objects expelled from the party.

Well this half truth, more like a 1/10th truth actually, certainly stood out. You also don't seem to have any quotes from the Women's group, only the TRAs?

Well perhaps. I just went through the calculator on the basis of living alone in my own house on a full state pension but nothing else other than £200 in savings.

No doubt I'll get a wave of blocks from people outraged by statistics but facts are facts. What the report doesn't go into is who is responsible for the murder of trans people. AFAIK trans people are murdered just as often as the general population by people that know them.

Well that's the first time I've been blocked by a professor. It seems he thinks he should be able to call someone a fuckwit without experiencing some polite pushback. He doesn't come over as a happy soul.

While you are technically correct every member of the Israeli government is Jewish so referring to the Israeli government as a Jewish government, government of jews, is also accurate.

The lives people live. There's a little bridge on the cycle path up to Colinton in Edinburgh which is home to a vagrant. He's beyond help, been offered help etc but lives under the bridge. The yellow cans are lighter fuel, he does 3 a day as well as methadone. He has embraced oblivion.

Currently reading a book on trout fishing which was published in 1903. Many of the flies that are recommended are ones I keep in my box today. They don't particularly resemble aquatic life but have caught trout for over a century, the trout must see something in them that we don't.

Referring to wicked online lies spread on social media as "rumours" and "misinformation" is infuriating. Political groups are spreading lies to stir up trouble. Let's call this stuff out in plain language that everyone understands. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have been reminded of the tanker drivers' protests in the late 90s. This from Blair's autobiography seems very apt.

Yes, as a mechanical engineer that sounds about right. Potions are also employed.

Burns' Holy Willie (a real person btw) had the same hypocrisy issue but excused them as being part of his imperfect self and promising to try to do better in future. ("I know I shouldn't do this but I'm just the way you made me.")

The oil lobby tells reactionary mainly right wing people what they want to hear. "Climate change isn't happening or if it is, it's not our fault" "This so-called green energy is just a scam to enrich scientists and politicians and their friends at our expense."
