Those ICE / Gestapo comparisons aren't far fetched. Communities protecting themselves from indiscriminate government raids, snatches and horrific violence. It's really sad to see America fall so fast. I've really enjoyed my past time there, working and touring. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/21/i...

Fact of the day: the space shuttle had 30,000 tiles to make up its heat shield, each of which was different, with a separate part number. The crew attaching them were known as the "Puzzle People"

How do I get rid of these inane AI suggestions? Stupid WhatsApp, I can communicate better than that

The trouble with Eurostar is that At Pancras. Horrible terminus, can't even sit down. Surely trains haven't got any bigger - so presumably it was built at like half the capacity needed

I still value a good StackOverflow answer, from someone who's actually experienced and solved the problem, above an AI-generated solution to it.

More edge-to-edge problems on the bottom of the screen than the top - for the simple reason that devs don't test with 3 button nav

Thank you for the explanation! I'll look out for your future puzzles 😀

Enjoyed but difficult! Needed 15² to see the bread, but that's super clever. First Indy in a long time (I do the Guardian regularly) - I don't quite understand "up" as anagram indicator?

It happens when you open the app with no internet connectivity. Seems to erroneously think the auth failed, and expires the token. Sometimes killing and restarting solves it.

The worst I've found is Vueling, which squish all their passengers into the back ~10 rows. Guaranteed full occupancy experience even if the plane is only a third full

Conspiracy theory: airlines are more likely to allocate middle seats at "random", because it makes customers pay to change it.

Tom Colvin @tomcolvin.co.uk · 28/10/2025

Ooh that's worth knowing. I guess the seat was allocated at random when you enter checkin, so you can roll the dice again

So fast that the UK phone lines couldn't cope with it, seem to remember mine only connected at about 48K

CD-ROM for back when downloading the JDK would take all day, and you'd have to start again whenever anyone tried to make a phone call.

They need a decent competitor... Hate the closed ecosystem too. Imagine how brilliant Sonos could have been with 2 decades of community driven plugins/software behind them.
