Southern expat living in sunny Manchester - quite liked the ending of Game of Thrones. Posts in a personal capacity because I can't afford to outsource it.

Can someone explain to me like I'm five why the US is convinced they need voting machines? And why even with them some states take days to count? We have a General election. Council workers, volunteers and overseers pile up and count thousands of paper ballots and we have a result the next day.

My daughter's homework. I think it's time to join the Parents' Association Though I approve she's attempted to inject some art into maths. And not done the actual maths - conscientious objection.
A maths homework sheet
"One Less Matching"
It has had the red pen at it to correct the title and instructions you read "fewer".

Sick of hearing from experts. I say we should let the oppressed billionaires speak for once. I bet they'll have some ideas for the betterment of all.

Usually try to turn down the radio as the news is too grim for little ears. She heard "children who have committed crimes.." and was asking what kind of crimes a child commits. "Is it like when we stole and hid the teachers smart board remote so we didn't have to do maths".

Could the MPs maybe examine the decimation of UK HE; the state of the water companies; and the masked thugs attacking lifeboats volunteers before addressing poor scores in Eurovision?

Update
We're no longer pursuing restarts as a path to remediation. Customers continue to experience severe delays, intermittent errors, and inability to access some services and support case creation.

We'll provide an update in 30 minutes or sooner if additional information becomes available.

I've lived in Manchester long enough to know that whatever the problem is the correct answer is never involving the #192 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A lovely morning read of the comments section for El Niño www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti... Suggestions are cutting all benefits (bloody poor people creating carbon), eugenics, and more nuclear (despite recent news showing us his much they need flowing rivers). It's going to be a ride.

Ok - mostly onboard with AI - we need to be weary. But surely they are only taking apart, scanning and therefore destroying one copy of each book? Am I missing something in the panic and outrage?
