Active Labour campaigner from Sept 2015 to Dec 2019.

Currently coding trivial Android apps. Please let me know if you can spend 5 mins trying them out for me.

I've currently got my simple 3D wiregraphics Android app up at: https://t.co/DxyXcTNo7Y

Would be grateful to anyone that can spend 5 mins trying it. Everyone I ask just ignores me.

(URL might change, it doesn't do https so browsers give a warning, so I might use somewhere else)

Please share.
Just had £85.00 fine for parking in @Sainburyscs @sainsburys where I parked under 3 hours and spend just short of £250. WTAF 🤬

Just spoke to a manager who said I should have noticed the signs and it’s nothing to do with him.

I’ll be returning some purchases now and never shopping with them again.

@arthound87 You're just doing "Sophie's choice" on us all.

@diedasman @blind_via What about 2mm, 2mm is pretty good, if you can get the IDC cable and connectors.

@gasolinaowl It depends on how much you use the throttle, there's no comparison between the stress they'll experience at 250 hp (hundreds of thousands of RPM) verses 30 hp.

@landlord_secret You might be worrying a little too much. If people on universal credit have more than a few thousand pounds worth of savings, they lose all their benefits

(With exception of element they used to call "working tax credit", but you have to work at least 30 hrs a week to get that)

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

I don't believe in any of this stuff, but anyway, "oversold", apparently, whatever that means... @LanzaTech @LanzaJet $LNZA

Sneak peek of our recent Archimedes engine fit check to Neutron's Stage 1 thrust structure.

@neuropuckedfox I think some of it is evolutionary. Evolution doesn't really care about anything other than increasing survival.

WSJ is the latest publication focused on #SAF supply as airlines "scramble to find their next barrel of oil." Today's article says "SAF production is dominated by startups," referencing companies such as SkyNRG, Twelve and Syzygy Plasmonics. (1/2) https://t.co/VXH923aGiX

@Shrink_at_Large It's roots go back to 'care in the community' when they decided it was a lot cheaper to just pay people a small cash payment rather than looking after them in hospitals etc.

@davepl1968 Datasheet trumps everything.

(Except if there's an errata for the datasheet, which isn't likely on a simple part.)

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@David__Osland Labour MPs are rich though, they're on steady secure £100K/year salaries (more if they're cabinet) yet accuse people much poorer than themselves of being rich just because they've savings (which you need to survive if you're income poor).

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@mathemetica You kind of forgot radio and other non-visible electromagnetic radiation there.

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@Sloth_no_sober @AstraiaAI Copilot? How can you develop rapport with someone named "copilot"?

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@BuyEnglishMade Or Ocado*, which is 50% owned by Ocado and 50% owned by M&S.

(Ocado is listed on London Stock Market in UK £)

* As in the retail side of Ocado.

And your grocery orders should be more error free, as they're picked by robots from dedicated warehouses, not supermarkets.

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@BuyEnglishMade I held Royal Mail shares from when it was first privatised to when they were forcibly taken from me by the Czech takeover. I'm well aware of what happened with Royal Mail. At the end of the day, politicians just don't care whether we have acceptible delivery services.

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@BuyEnglishMade The point is just it's listed in the US doesñ't mean it's owned by Americans, for example the non-American founder/CEO might have 25% of the shares, not to mention investors from all over the world.

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@frankcottrell_b If it's a wasp nest you can just ignore if it's not causing you any problems, they don't normally nest in the same place two years running.

Though if you're getting some wasp issues from it they might get worse just for a few weeks in October, before disappearing.

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@BuyEnglishMade You'll make an awful lot more money buying the right US listed tech companies, compared to value companies like Royal Mail. Sorry to go on about it, just people would benefit to know the reality of it. Plus it brings money into the UK if a Brit makes big gains on US listed.

[Arnold Smith @ArnoldLabour]

@YardleyShooting Low-rate UBI (circa £100/week) is very realistic and sensible. Higher rates just sabotage the idea.

Such is life.
