Full nap mode engaged. #Cats ##CatsOfBluesky
A small black cat lying curled up in a croissant shape on a chair that's covered with a yellow blanket. 

She's lying on her side with her front leg partially covering her face and appears to be fast asleep. We can see the fluffy white fur on her belly.

I haven't started watching it yet, finished Reacher S4 last night, but honestly that just puts me right off. As a character that just seems a really poor fit for her.

I'm guessing it hasn't occurred to them that if they're *outside* the UK they get no say in the matter anyway. Because that would require some form of joined-up thinking.

This is a good example of how you need quite a lot of detail of how these systems *actually* work to understand what the risks are, and how over-indexing on sci-fi can lead you a bit astray on what the future looks like

The millennium big was extremely real; the reason "nothing happened" is that people like me spent a LOT of hours making sure it didn't. Source: I was there, and some of the code I installed is probably still running.

Is this going on the Internet, human? #Cats ##Caturday ##CatsOfBluesky
A black cat with a white patch on her neck is lying on a yellow blanket on a grey, rattan style chair. 

She is lying on her tummy with her head up and eyes open, with her ears pricked up. Her body is twisted in a way that would cause considerable pain to all but the most flexible humans so that her hind legs are at a 90 degree angle to her rear end.

When I did my first half marathon, which way in Reading, and came home wearing the top I'd got for finishing, our youngest (who would have been 8 at the time) genuinely said "I thought you were running, not reading".

What do you mean there is sunken WW2 cargo ship in the Thames with what can only be described as a biblical amount of high explosives in the hull next to an LNG plant that was presumably built next to it that projections say could provide billions of dollars of improvements to the UK if it goes off.
