There's a school of thought that Dane Katy may actually be JKR.

I think Godfrey Elfwick.

Yes. But when they see it is three metric fuck-tonnes per month, they wills tart

Steady on, that's your future queen you are referring to...

@Kiwiwomble said in Stupid shit you see on the internet:

@antipodean yeah, dont for a second think there is a secret group of KKK working the cruise ship circuit.....but when they put them on and looked at each other....nothing clicked?

It's the cleaning crew, so I'm guessing well underpaid Asian people who have no idea of WTF the KKK is

@Tim said in Movie review thread...:

I watched the Twin Peaks pilot for the nth time. It is so damned good.

Damn fine

@nonpartizan Recommend pairing the Michael King with Ranginui Walker's Ka Whawhai Tonu Matou if that's available.

@nzzp yep, a year ago I had zero idea how to read/write/manipulate XSLT, but have managed to roll out a few neat stylesheets transforming date to a handful of clients since, with the brilliant assistance of my trusty copilot.

We can’t all be country music fans

@sparky He also famously refused to watch the 1966 World Cup Final on TV and instead went and played a round of golf by himself on a deserted golf course. He said his heart sank when he heard the roar from the clubhouse as he knew the bloody Poms must've won 🙂

No wind, rain or snow forecast for tomorrow.

The Met Office has advised everyone to make unnecessary journeys.

inhomogeneities

Which having just googled it because I'm a nosey fuck, has a remarkably simple definition. Things which are not homogenous.

Should have spotted it really but can certainly use it in future when needing to sound like a piston wristed gibbon with some class "A" wankspeak (thank you for that term as well, one that is far more likely to get used).

More on topic, I stumbled on this the other day:

9 of the Most Remarkable Scientific Discoveries of 2024 9 of the Most Remarkable Scientific Discoveries of 2024

Discover the new planets, moons, health advances, and ancient history uncovered in 2024.

Didn't know that they had found an Earthlike planet or that they had found a treatment for AIDS with this bit in particular "As more research is done on this drug, it’s possible that other vaccines that attack the capsid proteins of other viruses could emerge." Interesting stuff happening all the time.

Mrs Antipodean has a hybrid Lexus and there's no way it's capable of getting that sort of fuel economy. Not helped by her putting it into sports mode at every red light...

Yep. I'm glad the charging for the iX3 was free 🙂

Mrs TA not impressed. Even more than usual. So I did well.
