Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My daughter went to the nursery there. There was a 3-train barrier closure most days just after home time. Crowds of toddlers on the bridge waving at the drivers. Very wholesome 141
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 20/09/2026To me, it's meant as a joke. And if someone has an idea for joke but not the skills to pull it off - I'm not going to berate them for doing it with AI 001
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 16/06/2026The world's top precision engineering labs can only dream of having a surface as flat as that 000
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Turns out giving up parking bays is the one thing that's less popular than them blocking the pavements 000
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Is it that Reform the only one of the five wants to reopen the coal mines? 000
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 15/03/2026The real 30 years of hurt is the time I've been confused by this line. Thanks for clearing that up! 011
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 10/03/2026On materials - it seemed like the pavers were being stacked for reuse in the digging up phase. So they may not need any new ones 000
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Bristol is only 2.5 degrees west of the meridian so no, it's not as significant as the agents think 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 24/02/2026It seems like the crank positions in Labour are largely formed as part of factional disputes. But there is no obvious political background to this, which leads to the disturbing conclusion that he actually believes it 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Most CO detectors work by detecting the heat generated when the combustible gas oxidises on a catalyst. That means they are sensitive to other gases, including methane 200
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 14/01/2026"Sorry sir, I do need to know the precise skin tone of the thumbs up before we can continue" 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 01/01/2026People always change unimportant details on their fesses for anonymity 020
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Same is true of Echoes, isn't it? And Pink Floyd got a whole side out of it. Epic 110
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I always wanted that motherboard with the integrated valve amplifier. Not sure if the valves even did anything 120
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 29/11/2025I've mostly switched to Radio 3 now. Apparently its audience is considered sensible enough not to need news shouted at them all day long 030
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 19/11/2025I feel like evolutionary algorithms have potential in engineering. Some would call that AI. But the key there is a foolproof solution checker, so not really compatible with the current LLM high 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Those have been automatic for a while now. Someone should tell them 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 17/10/2025It's so often down to one boat or closed completely. It must be the only service where it's more profitable for the owner to not run a service but still have staff on duty, thanks to the tunnels 110
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 07/10/2025You're 21 years old until your 22nd birthday, that's the way it works 120
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I'd completely forgotten that unit existed and thought I was looking at something in Welsh for a moment 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 03/09/2025You're not their customer, you're just some backend process they need to do to earn money, like the coal in a coal mine 020
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 29/08/2025This is exactly why delay repay is termed 'compensation', not a refund - to avoid employers having any claim over it 020
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 04/07/2025I often use North Greenwich Station. It's great fun trying to guess who's playing at the O2 from the way the crowd is dressed. I was gutted to miss the day NiN were playing 030
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 17/06/2025More 'didn't happen' bores on Twitter last time I looked - the most tedious comments you'll find anywhere 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 11/06/2025The majority of the sound you hear above 50mph or so comes from the tyres. Tyres on EVs are generally louder because they're heavier 010
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Combined with a one-way system, it forces people to reverse into the space: good. But all those little triangles at the ends of each space are wasted, so you need more land for a given number of spaces 200
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Problem is, the other side say, "I don't mind people being rich, good for them. But I do mind paying tax when it might help the people below me" 050
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Is that their red circle they've added around the symbol that warns you that might damage the circuit with electrostatic discharge if you touch it? 100
Ed Stott @edstott.bsky.social · 12/05/2025I always thought this was the result of compression for radio transmission. Are you saying they are doing it because they like the effect? 100
