Same mostly harmless tax nerd, cynic & petrolhead; same character-lite handle. Occasional music & cat content.

And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight

Hello. Me again. Just popping back on here to tell you that I’ve started a new car-buying service.
The idea is that if you’re not sure which car you want to buy, you can tell me exactly what you want and need from your next car, and then I’ll give you three great options for your budget. ⬇️

Recommendation for anyone planning a train journey: don’t. We’ve just been told nothing’s working, and we’re being shunted into taxis. Or, to be more exact, onto a rainy queue to wait for taxis.

I’d be a lot more inclined to trust the hugely complex yet ultimately human coder-inspired technology of AI if the far simpler MS Office (or is it Outlook, or MS365?) understood the difference between sending a verification code by text message and sending it to my WhatsApp account.

Does anyone on here work with race and medicine in the southern US in the early 20th century?
Niche, I know, but I came across something very weird in my late father's stuff that might be of interest.
Feel free to share.
