Ichthyologist doing IT.
You could say I moved from fish into chips.
I survived until Xmas morning, when my mother in law put it on as her first pick of the day.

"She glowed dimly in the corner, like the old halogen bulb from the follow-spot the lighting director just couldn't bring themselves to throw away. It might do in a pinch, when all other lights went dark."

Now if we can just work out a pasty of time, we'll have size, weight and time neatly sewn up.

Got onto a crowded underground carriage in London last week and some bellend had the temerity to say "COVID's over, mate" to my masked face.

(heat pump to heat things up to useful steam turbine temps).

Or do low temperature heating to nearby buildings.

The problem is the exhaust temperature is too low to do useful work. You might be able to do like a heat pump on that heat, but I suspect the energy required to run the heat pumps probably doesn't make this economically feasible.

You could dump the heat into a swimming pool.

Is this the start of the Barn Mitzvah trend?

I feel like a fish lab somewhere is missing a chance to have Hans Grouper on their door.

Unless they quickly whip up some letters of marque and pretend it's not their ship?

Can we stop using date pickers with scrolling? Just let me type the date. Scrolling for 20 minutes just causes one to feel a n c i e n t.

Oh and let me know what format you want, particularly if you want something weird like mm/dd/yyyy.
