    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    A three-way system is notionally more flexible but doesn't necessarily work very well for anyone. When Nick Clegg aligned with David Cameron it worked fairly well for the Conservatives because they got to form a government, they got to sacrifice Clegg in the process so it didn't work very well...

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    Maybe, maybe not. In the UK there are three main parties and all of them promise they will make things better and with few exceptions they do nothing of the sort. Because you need a majority of Parliament to form a credible government the result is that sometimes one of the main two parties...

    What the platforms are

    Fom what I've seen most "social" media platforms are little more than cesspits of venom. Fun enough for sharing silly memes but I wouldn't even attempt to have a useful conversation on any of them - even if you're trying to discuss with someone you know it seems there's always some idiot that...

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    I remember during the 2000 campaign the question was often asked how a country of 300+ million people managed to figure that Bush and Gore were the best options for leader. I'm not sure anything has improved since then.

    New Princess Kate Photo

    There could. And that's the point. She might not be wearing her rings because she was playing with the kids and forgot to put them back on. She might not be wearing her rings because she and William are having serious marital problems. She might have edited the photo because she's recovering...

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    There was a certain irony in the party that endlessly blathers on about diversity gradually shaking out the gay guy, the fake Cherokee, the black woman only to end up with another angry old white guy, who then blathered some more about diversity and put the black woman who fell at the first...

    New Princess Kate Photo

    I think the problem isn't so much that she fiddled with her photo but that after so much time out of the spotlight it invited further speculation as to what's really going on with her and her health. One wonders why she didn't just release the original photo rather than fiddle with it in a dozen...

    Is COVID finally gone?

    The trouble with public restrooms is that you never know how clean the taps are. As a rule I avoid touching anything with my hands unless I can clean my hands afterwards, or I know how clean something is. In a public restroom unless I can control something with my elbows or similar I'll avoid...

    Is COVID finally gone?

    It will probably never fully go away, but it's nowhere near the same problem it was four years ago. I've been living with this "no problem" worldview for most of the past four years. It became pretty obvious very early on that most of the things we were expected to do were just posturing. Even...

    Smelly House

    Aired out is relatively easy because it's something you can take some blame for yourself if you feel minded to mention the issue. You can either open your windows, or make some comment about getting a bit sweaty so the hosts might want to crack the windows for a bit (or substitute something else...

    Addressing the class

    Hey, if there's any spare time after figuring out the person who looks like one thing prefers to be called something else maybe the professors might even teach the students something. Although maybe that's not the point of university any more, it's sometimes hard to say.

    Should you only pay for half the meal?

    It's very seldom an issue for me but I agree, I'd want to put it in the box myself.

    A floppy disk

    Floppy, too many years ago to count. CD, depends on whether you mean music or data. Data, too long ago to remember. Music, more recently.

    Cruise control

    My first car had cruise control and I used it a lot on the open road. It was a manual car and if I tapped the brake or the clutch even slightly it would disengage. I'd typically disengage it by tapping the clutch, so as not to flash my brake lights because I wasn't necessarily slowing down. My...

    Doctors now charging for emails

    I'm not sure why people are surprised when someone who charges for their services, you know, actually charges for providing a service. People have this grand idea that email is free, and don't consider the time it takes to answer a question. I'm assuming my doctor doesn't keep my entire medical...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    A gentle-ish 8 mile run today, running until my heart rate went into about the middle of my aerobic zone, then walked until it dropped to the middle of zone 2, rinse and repeat. Running doesn't feel particularly demanding at that pace, even though it's apparently the pace my tracker has...

    Daylight saving time (US)

    Would you rather they did away with Daylight time or Standard time? Personally I prefer more daylight in the evenings but a few of the farmers I know prefer extra light in the mornings.

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    There's a fair possibility that all the monetary troubles baked into the system will turn into a serious headache for whoever is in office from 2025. It's always unfortunate that political cycles are short and monetary cycles don't necessarily align with them, so one government can create a...
