Ah, an all-bard party.

This article being decorated with Amazon ads for Bose products for me is 🤌

Nutri-score: C 🤔

Are the bugs yours or just part of the scenery?

See, I believe there are sites on the World Wide Web that do have showtimes, presumably sourced via an API. Wouldn't it be great if there was a tool, a 'search engine', say, that might point you to such a site, ideally with a high ranking?

It's just doing its bit to thin the herd a little. Skynet wasn't built in a day.

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 5d

I hope it also has but a single verb.

Look at the positives: your friends have a) thought of you and b) your area of expertise. I don't think there's an inherent assumption that the paper is better informed than you (maybe their wording was unfortunate) But it's nice to know when sth related to your interests is causing ripples, anyway.

Vatican version? They may be homosexual all right, they can just never have sex?

"Couldn't there be potential to leverage crucial synergies between the EU's Mediterranean fisheries and the ongoing frontier crisis? Just providing input here."

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 6d

I'm expecting this to be amended so that every burger or sausage also has to include a seafood component in order to be called that. Can't leave the struggling EU fisheries behind!

Do you bookmark feverishly?

Thinking about it, after the late 60s, maybe early 70s, his films ... just weren't really all that.

Safari does this automatically on a reboot, I think. But I notoriously open most things in private windows. And then I took this as an opportunity to weed things out a bit.

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 6d

Me earlier today, just having closed the 100-odd of them in anticipation of rebooting my laptop.

It's amazing just how completely unpredictable these trends are (at least for me!) Feels like watching some hot soup on the stove trying to tell where the next bubble will come up.

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 7d

Well, the tea prepared with hot water from my 2.5kW kettle definitely helps me do maths quicker. Or at least I like to think so.

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 7d

Uh, is taking a step back maybe an option? Just asking ...

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 8d

Well, they probably have strong convictions ...

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 8d

Oh, there'd definitely be a few yogic flyers, possibly some La-Rouchians and three different shades of 'Left', in addition to the animal rights types.

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 8d

I mean, even the Netherlands (with effectively no electoral threshold) only has one of them with three MPs ...

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 11d

Do they renumber the entire thing when something new arises?

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 12d

So, so flat. Good for cycling, I suppose, even if the road surface isn't necessarily so.

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 13d

What's going on in these people's heads?

kirschly @kirschly.bsky.social · 13d

Hey, at least Verres was punished! (Uhm, being exiled to Marseilles ...)
