Ooh I like this idea in theory. I don't like striking up conversations with strangers, but absolutely, if they play the audio in public then you are invited to talk to them about it!

Find the Path are awesome! I first discovered Pathfinder through them, back at the start of their Mummy's Mask adventure. Many good times!

Yes this, then you can pick up the nuance in the acting and script without having to focus fully on just following the plot

I went from "yay" to "well duh" to "wait, this isn't a thing yet?". Flights have radiation exposure and it's not a concern for most passengers, but it makes sense that staff would be at some risk. Medical people clear the room for xrays for the same reason!

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

New Channel 4 documentary, The Great ADHD Myth?, seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct

I find your lack of faith in naan disturbing. How fragile are your naans? It's literally the spinning pizza dough thing, except it's cooked so it won't stretch. The bread can take it!

I had this with my Steam Machine. Then I got "royal mail are delivering today", so presumably the first courier just didn't update any tracking.

Sturgeon's Law: "90 percent of everything is crud". So if you've played the good example of a type, other things like it have a high chance of being the crud. 🙁

Gerrymandle is a cool one, but the site seems to trigger security warnings, probably just due to their choice of TLD.

Similarly, there are even studies showing that homeopathy is effective. And just like all other "alternative medicines", when you do better studies, the effect disappears. That's why it remains alt-med. If it was properly evidenced it would just be fully accepted as "medicine".

Yes! There were a few times where I saw an item and thought "that item looks a bit odd, like a modern, 'inspired-by' take on the style", and it's because it was. I very much enjoyed the exhibition though.

Have you read/listened to @doctorow.pluralistic.net much? He has great insights into what deals were made around trade tariffs, and what it could unleash when Trump repeatedly breaks the US side of those deals

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...

Valve has released a tiny, silent, entry level PC that does important work bringing PCs gaming to the living room and desktop Linux to the masses. The timing could not be worse.

Yeah it hit me too, for my religious upbringing. I imagine they are all thinking they are the only ones who can't manage to be the perfect Christian. "Everyone else can do it, so I just need to try harder". Heartbreaking.

#BeachSpectres day 1 went really well. I heard that we might have completed 100 level-metatiles, which would be around 800-900 tiles stamped in the sand. The unusually gloomy weather didn't get us down. Same again tomorrow!

A couple of dozen people stood around a large area of sand stamped with Spectre tiles.

Selfie with me and Max Hughes looking at the camera, and the Spectre tiling in the middle of shot with people spots around it.

Have this real one. The dog in question was left alone for *literally* 2 minutes maximum. He had food in his bowl, but instead decided to pull the bag down and make a huge mess. At least he had the decency to look ashamed!

I think that "not you first" sounds remarkably like "me first" when you are used to always being first.
