Happy Indepedence Day! Because you can write “independence” without three Ns!

I dug it out to upvote it :)

I don’t want to defend England’s housing building, but the Y axis not starting at 0 is visually misleading. Here’s a very rough correction:

…to relocate to one of our finest remaining canine centers. I thought so much of Doggy Daycare that I elected to establish my Pack here, in the Play Room so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Doggy Daycare my home.

And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Doggy Daycare. It’s safer here.

I’ve seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it’s very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.

He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump’s account seems pandering, but it’s not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.

10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.

Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.

People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.

I can’t think of a single company worse at naming products and services than Microsoft. They have an abysmal track record. Some examples off the top of my head, all of which make web searches near-impossible:

• They renamed Office 365 to just “365” (and then “365 Copilot”). The mind boggles.
• They named their light extensible code editor “Visual Studio Code”, despite the fact that they had a long-established IDE (for code) called “Visual Studio”.
• They called their application framework “the .NET framework”.
• They called the replacement framework “.NET Core”, and after a few major versions, changed to calling it “.NET”, but it’s totally distinct from the .NET framework.
• They called their ninth major desktop operating system “Windows 7”, then followed up with “Windows 8” and… “Windows 10”.
• Their native web app replacement for Outlook is called “New Outlook”.
• They recently renamed their Remote Desktop app “Windows App”. I have no words.

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW SOLID ORAL™ SPORTS HYDRATION SOLUTION DRINK THING!

It’s a stone’s throw from the Western station on the Brown line and the buses are every ten minutes on N Western Ave, too, so it’s not removal of parking in an area devoid of public transport.

Some more proverbs from Proverbs 16:

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!

The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction.

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Isn’t that fundamentally just making a new line?

David Malki has been doing it for 22 years, I reckon he knows his limits!

Honestly, the small angular ones that lay larvae on clothing get swatted or electrocuted without a second thought. They fall into the mosquito category.

Everything else gets escorted outside or, if not feasible without risking harm, left to their own devices.

even “regular” raillines are now can be upgraded

I assume this is contingent on the existing line being fairly straight and direct? Where I live, the tracks are very meandering to navigate hills and valleys, and train staff told me the chance of an upgrade was basically zero.

They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.

Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That’s still obviously not what it should have done and it’s no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:

• Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
• That’s enough music for now, lads. Looks like there’s dirty work afoot.
• Well, this is the main hall. We’re going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.

Some old bollards and mooring posts, mostly in London, are old cannons, just to be pedantic! You can find them if you know what to look for, but London alone has 60,000+ streets and it’s not like no new bollards have been installed since the Napoleonic wars.

Here’s an image from Living London History’s Facebook page for the curious:

Today’s lucky 10,000.

Hah, I figured the second sentence was as parodically on-the-nose as I could manage without a satire indicator.
