They will recruit this early and you still need to get three traitors. This way, one is in the bag. And he’s so clamorous he’ll give the others away

Surely the sensible play is to leave him in.

We’re still flying London to Edinburgh and Glasgow - two destinations that should be faster by rail (but shaving 45 minutes off the journey time and adding the extra capacity would take 20 years and £50-100bn)

I just don’t see this making a dent in LHR demand. The new double decker trains are going to hold up to 1000 pax, roughly 6/7 short haul planes. On paper that’s significant but in reality, they’re going to very different destinations.

"I promise you, a lifetime’s fear of the fur evaporates in an instant" "when I talked my mum into giving it a try, she gagged alarmingly and swore at me with some venom as she fought to expel bits of skin from her mouth." Context is very important.

It turns out all that time spent peeling and paring was entirely wasted, writes Adrian Chiles. Now I’m gobbling them like apples and putting the extra fibre to good use

I’m pretty convinced that Barry has not, in fact, read it.

I have a feeling that this is something they will be losing their shit about all over again. Meanwhile, who wants to buy into WinstonCoin?

It’s white European, we all know what they mean.

The joke about my residence in Clapham is that it is now so long ago that it was before Abbeville was a village.

In the very early 2000s I moved to SE London. That coincided with when the local police started using big yellow signs to appeal for witnesses to crime. I emerged from West Dulwich BR one evening and saw a new one "drive-by kidnapping" - very much a not-fucking-around kind of crime.

I got my year wrong, it was Sept 93 and PC Patrick Dunne was killed in Cato Road in October. It was *very* different

I moved to Clapham in ‘94. At that time Balham (where i’ve been for years now) was the *Badlands* But yeah, KX is now way scarier than 39 years ago. Such BS.

She deserves some credit for this (and I am not a fan). She’s married to a man called Hamish from Wimbledon, who I am going to assume regards his Scottish background as important to their kids as her Nigerian one. They’re whatever they want to be, and that’s how it should be.

Humble bragging your edginess!

Fun fact: the US currently sanctions Russia and can't buy any of these 2m barrels per day.

Solves the social care problem as well. THIS IS ENGINEER THINKING

I am. But probably less complicated than GTA6

Decompile -> source code -> AI written intents -> AI written code For large enterprise SW application there would be only about 1 million points where it might diverge from the original

There's a problematic lack of moral relativism: I got a response to criticising what the GP have done that was "well what's your solution, Andrew?" I don't have one but I know it's not yours. And that's just failure in their eyes.

I considered that but I also think they will be delighted - the message is you can't vibe code enterprise SW - it will be crap and you'll get sued.

They may be secretly delighted: Enterprise App providers have seen their share price collapse under the SaaSmageddon idea that AIs will just build bespoke for you (Adobe is down 2/3rds from two years ago). But SW is complex and these are likely *full of bugs* and it will get you sued.

That defence seems to be working for illegal hacking of private systems. Suggest some SW vendors maybe less passive

ooh ooh, pick me, I know this: It's because Theresa May wasn't a proper Tory. She'd been woked up by the Lib Dems.

Stacey's Mom was rubbish but Radiation Vibe is one of the *great* summer songs.

Would have been helpful to see this on the wall opposite the hall where I sat my German GCE

I think it's more accurate to say that Starmer was a bit of a ruthless bastard in terms of ousting Momentum and the AS wing. And hence they feel lied to and betrayed (rather than legally out-manouevred)

000

perhaps this is covered by the general vibe of "oh we won't actually do that"

000

That's arguably been the case in the past, but a really different position to hold with *this* Israeli government when there are very many zionist jews who oppose what is happening

Vote Tory if you don’t want to be blown to bits. It’s a straightforward electoral choice

Doesn’t seem to make any sense to you or me … but to Kemi and Kartlidge??

The issue with SDI was that the technology was years away. Iron Dome proves it does exist, it’s largely US technology and therefore sizing it, even on the back of an envelope and understanding how many years it might take to deploy, is the bare minimum before this is even floated as an idea.

That stadium in Mendoza is problematically named

Aha, the “Fanny made him do it” defence.

How? Johnson put him in the Lords.

I like this guy. He's got fight.

We need a meme of Miatta Fahnbulleh from QT last week: “It is really important when we are having these debates that we don't just make things up”

Somebody asked me yesterday, what's wrong with a single state where everyone is treated equally?

Don't delete, just give us your best guess of the geopolitical and economic impact 😆

He’ll have another by election to fight soon enough.

This is an example of the start of a process of the normalisation of awful people that resulted in Anne Widdecome acquiring some sort of national treasure status while remaining a bitter old bigot (I stress that this does not excuse her murder)

In order of impact / likely success: 1. US govt withdraws support for current Israeli government . . . . 9999999999. Greens pass a conference motion.
