I’ll follow Doc and keep an eye out for anything noteworthy.

My parents have got a portable one, but only use it as a last resort (like this weekend) because it's a faff to set up the window screen. I'm not sure it'd work great in my house as the insulation is less than ideal. As for built-in aircon, I think you're looking at £1500+ per room for a basic setup...

The heat made the weekend absolutely wretched for me. I took part in the weekly Darktide session with the Discord group on saturday, and given it was warmer outside than in when I started, I didn't open the windows. My PC runs pretty warm (though apparently not warm enough to melt my motherboard, u...

I must have the only decent Evri delivery guy in the country. Very friendly and always turns up in his specified time slot. Back to ranting, boiling weather and an abscess on my leg means I've hardly slept in three days and am feeling stabby. The temp's dropped but there's about as much wind as a fa...

"I was thinking more of blastin' this board to kingdom come. That oughtta finish the game."

CK feels it's important to represent Doc's pique while he's in canine form.

"Or we could give them some stand-in pieces. I just don't trust chess."

CK is sick of this chess malarkey. I mutter to my companions: "I can think of a couple of ways this game could be resolved in a heartbeat..."

Yeah… that CCTV footage is nonsense. The angle it shows isn’t even the entrance to the area with Epstein’s cell. https://www.wired.com/story/metadata-shows-the-dojs-raw-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-was-likely-modified/ When asked about the missing minute, Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to defend i...

GRIT: 16 + 2 = 18

“What’s that, Doc? A sled?” I presumably interpret.

I’ll have a look around for anything resembling tools. Failing that, I guess I could try blasting wood into shape with my Slackarms.

The second half of season 2 does get better.

Andor Finally forced myself to watch the whole thing, having only made it through two episodes when it first came out. It’s so uneven as a show, with some episodes being gripping masterpieces and other episodes being inexplicably listless. It was worth persevering with but I only enjoyed about half...

Room thermometers. For several years I've had a digital thermometer in my bedroom to monitor temps in hot weather and inform when I should open or close windows, etc. Until now I've just trusted that the figure it gives me is reasonably accurate - LIKE A CHUMP, it turns out. I've just bought a secon...

What was with the deal with the partial lists released several years ago then? Were they just flight logs?

I think the surprising thing about this incident is how little user trickery it required to get it to go full-tilt antisemitic. I'd rather not post the full exchange here as it's pretty dire, but it switches from "this writer is a radical liberal" to "well look at her surname, you know what they're ...

The question though is *why* he's been sacked. Did Red Bull's internal investigation over his being a sex pest actually bear fruit? Has he been instrumental in pushing the current car design philosophy and ruining the team's constructor championship campaign? Has Max given the ultimatum that he's l...

About time!
