       @fromjason @pluralistic Well, we've already taken to defending Wikipedia - it's gone from "it's just written by some random bod on the internet, it must be crap" to "it's written by actual human beings, it's great!"

       So I've been expecting my 23 year old car to die at any moment for a few years now.What I wasn't expecting was that this would be as a result of someone driving into the back of me at (estimated) 85mph. Pretty sure any insurance company (or, indeed, any garage) is going to laugh their heads off at the idea of repairing it.

       @drajt Mate of mine was driving a Land Rover on the Embankment, and was I think stationary waiting to turn right when someone hit him from behind, at around 30mph he reckoned. Hard enough to skew the Land Rover round about 45 degrees.The car that hit him appeared to be a write-off with the whole of the front smashed up.My mate had a look round his car and said:"You've bent the wire cage round my rear lights. I'm not going to bother to claim for a new one from you."

       @meduza_en If Russia wanted a larger population it could stop sending vast numbers to die in Ukraine.

       @CiaraNi Not as far as we know - there's the possibility of waking up with sore necks tomorrow I guess.

       @stefano That's fine if your users don't insist on regular updates to dependencies to fix each day's crop of CVEs.

       @cmconseils I was required to fill in some career objectives for the next year on the HR web site.One word was all I needed: "retire".

       "Money from Venezuelan oil sales can only be spent on goods from the USA."Um ... we've been here before ... wasn't there something called the "Boston Tea Party" which was provoked by exactly this sort of colonial trade restriction?

       @dave Lying has worked for them so far - why would you expect them to give up on a winning formula?

       At least we got our pasties cooked before the power went off in this part of Cornwall.

       @NAB Yeah, it would be nice to have a comprehensive RBAC system for exactly those sorts of use cases ... but it doesn't.

       @TheBreadmonkey That's a hazard of being an elected politician in #Cambridge Whatever you decide, on whatever subject, there's a fair chance that there's a world class expert on that topic amongst your constituents who's going to tell you how you've got it wrong.

       @coastclark If you classify Star Trek as "SF". It's basically just cowboys-and-Indians but with spaceships.

       @russellt I once had to shake hands with Mandelson (I didn't see him coming in time to be somewhere else politely). Which means I'm one handshake away from Epstein. 😭

       @Zero2beach @augieray All I know about planes is that survey, a few years old now, that 97% of planes have covid on board according to waste water sampling.My assumption is that the other 3% of flights were short haul flights on which not everybody went to the loo.So I haven't been on a plane since. OK, so I'd be happy to fly myself with nobody else in the aircraft ... but all my paperwork has expired, and I'd have to spend hours in a tiny cockpit with someone else to get it back.
