I don't think I'd want to change the life I've had so far as the sum of my experience is how I'm the way I am. Would probably meet the people and see how things went from there.

My current parents would continue to always be my parents in that scenario I think

I'm scared that we won't collectively realise we need to fairly rapidly shift society to be a much more socialist economy in time to prevent all of the problems that come with there being vast swathes of people without jobs or any prospect of ever getting one. How things are currently set up, this goes very badly for basically everyone.

And VMware goes for another rotation around the drain

The fact they won't sell you a perpetual licence for a hypervisor you run on your hardware, is possibly the most ridiculous subscription model I've seen so far

Yes because all the recent evidence definitely doesn't suggest that productivity is increased with 4 day working weeks overall

Why? Because free time is good for people's mental and physical health. You know who's more productive than someone who doesn't have time or energy to improve their health? Someone who does!

Truly baffling stuff

But that's the thing with the GOP. You give them absolute power one time, and they'll never, ever give it up.

They can only take, the only give they are capable of is to themselves

Also why swear words are swears. They're what the common people called things, and it was a way of denigrating the proletariat to regard it as foul language.

Shit Vs excrement

Fuck Vs copulate

Etc

Funny, I think there was an old fella with a beard that put them in the same category

I mean it'll never happen even if it averted the end of the world, but Hilary Clinton publicly saying she was happy with the published findings would probably be the best thing she ever did

 

I finished work a bit early today, went for a walk, met a friend at a newly opened pub, watched the football with a few pints and just got back home.

Another fun Friday to put into the box of fun Fridays

What's going on in your corner of the world?

 

It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.

Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.

Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

 

What would you add/change for next time

I know I could do with a sweeter red vermouth

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around

I've not started anything yet

 

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now
