What a surprise!

I thought he was inside?

No doubt the suckers that support him will be bleating about the unfairness of it all.

Talk about snowflakes.

Malcolm In The Middle - watching it (yet) again from episode 1.

Ate and drank too much without enough exercise when I was younger.

Had a tattoo which although not a name, represents the name of former controlling partner. When I can afford it it's getting a cover up. Luckily it's on my chest and I'm not a Geordie so people don't see it. Otherwise it'd be gone now.

They could always go home, and this wouldn't have to happen to them.

From the article:

'The aircraft’s most notable capability is its ability to deploy large-scale drone swarms mid-flight, potentially overwhelming enemy defenses by sheer volume and unpredictability. State-released video footage simulated the dramatic visual of a synchronized UAV launch sequence.

Drone swarms offer strategic advantages in surveillance, intelligence gathering, and real-time reconnaissance, particularly in contested regions such as the Taiwan Strait. Analysts warn that such a capability could play a central role in a future conflict scenario between China and Taiwan.

In addition to drone launches, the Jiu Tan can also be equipped with cruise missiles and air-to-air weapons like the PL-12E, further expanding its offensive potential.'

A big difference.

Because the highly successful businessman in him wants those fat payoffs from oil and what have you.

 

Ryanair once again proving they are scumbags.

Yes!, and the way the drone looks for best way in is pretty neat as well.

That's why he's such a successful businessman.

Oh, wait...

Wonder if they'd be interested in helping out with my overdraft?

CachyOS is German.

By the way, it uses Arch 😜

 

Very thought provoking.

 

My daughter is visiting and left her case open.

 

Mum! There's a submarine driving down the road!

 

Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

Won't be doing any laundry just yet then.

Edit - pic didn't load

 

And now I know.

 

This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

 

She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.
