Almost made coffee for my start of week sync call in my weekend mug. Two weeks ago my boss nearly snorted his own coffee out of his nose when he saw me take a sip from my Dolly Parton mug, this might kill him.

I've always enjoyed viewing the giant red Stansted Express "YOU BETTER NOT BE USING AN OYSTER OR BANK CARD" banners through the context of the Hierarchy of Controls.

Congrats on making it to "substitution" (Oyster Cards still verboten)!
Health and Safety hierarchy of controls. An inverted triangle with these sections: - Elimination: physically remove the hazard - Substitution: replace the hazard - Engineering controls: isolate people from the hazard - Administrative controls: change the way people work - PPE: protect the worker with personal protective equipment

I’d be lying if I said the quality of the Metro (and other improvements to the built environment since I last visited) wasn’t a key factor in my decision to move back to Sydney.

People like spending time in nice places, shocking revelation.

Hello Drew, my squirrel photography could do with a better lens but I think it really captures the moment regardless

How ever did people learn things about one of the most studied and documented groups who conducted one of history's greatest atrocities as part of the last century's single biggest event... before iPhones

It's an old-fashioned thread pair! By gar, it's been a while.

lol they’re doubling down /cc @kittenseses.bsky.social @eurokris.bsky.social
Screenshot from an email reading: A number of members have complained at the decision to allow Al generated logo designs in the competition. Whether we like it or not, Artificial Intelligence is a fact of modern life, and it seemed inevitable that someone would use it to create a logo proposal. The logic behind the decision to allow its use was as follows: • Al is widely used in logo design • Its use allows all members to participate in the competition rather than restricting it to designers or people with particular artistic skills. • It AL were not allowed, we would have to devise a way of checking that it had not. It is better for its use to be disclosed rather than clandestine. Everyone submitting a design has been asked to confirm whether Al has been used in its preparation, along with some details of the design process and tools used. The use of Al will be disclosed to the membership when they are asked to vote for their preferred design. The Committee is aware that the legal ownership of a design created by Al can be problematic which is why the rules included a clause allowing a design to be modified as necessary. If an Al design were to win the competition, we would need to assess what level of documentary evidence of the design process or even redesign would be needed.
