Give up trying to make your writing persuasive, and focus on making it fun to read for people who already agree with you.

Setting priorities is the last thing you want to do. Also, don't let anyone catch you being evasive.

Denmark did not send troops to Vietnam.

@simonbp This might be one of the few times this meme has ever been entirely appropriate

@beebrookshire
Sounds like a good subject for one of those clickbait online quizzes: New prescription drug or Amazon brand name?

@KimSJ Depends on whether your provider actually stays up to date and merges the latest source. And no, I'm much too tired to move again.

@EugeneMcParland By 2028 his puffy face will have swollen to consume him entirely. Along with Red Square and about a third of Gorky Park. See the film Akira for an approximation of what this will look like.

@skolima @kbeninato Even The Onion won't be able to do a thing with this. It's the Lehrer-Kissinger Principle really.

If the answer was "David Cameron", what, by the living gods, was the question?

@AnthonyFStevens We really need a simple term for "children of immigrants desperate to establish their bona fides by dedicating themselves to hating immigrants more than anyone else does". Nowadays it's almost the defining trait of the Tory party and it needs a word.

@AnthonyFStevens I have no idea how the words "What is" got tacked onto the end of that.

@AnthonyFStevens In fairness he'd have replaced Suella with Heinrich Himmler if he'd been available. What is

At a guess? Betteridge's Law presumably applies here.

Back in August I wrote a program for a particular platform, installed, tested and put it into service, and it's been running reliably ever since. All well and good.

The really messed up part? I decided to make a change to it and discovered that, a mere 3 months later, I could not remember where I wrote it, how I prototyped, installed and tested it, nor where the source code is, or even very much about wht the code consisted of. It took me about an hour to track it down and recreate from evidence what I actually did and how I did it. Three. Months.

I'm bloody sunsetting, I am.

@beebrookshire There's another, incomparably more destructive invasive species in Florida: a kind of African ape, individuals typically weighing between 50-100 kilos in the adult stage. At last count there were over 20 million of them in Florida.

@germanyinuk Very Inspector Clouseau as well. The Python sketch differed in that the room started spontaneously self-destructing the moment the man was alone, he didn't actually do anything.
