Another round of disengaging from Twitter (aka X).
I don't plan to post new content here, but I may reply.
If I've unfollowed you, I probably follow you at the Blue place. If you are not there yet, why not?
Note: I will not follow you at both places.

@NRWGCharity
Kensal Green Cemetery is the last resting place of many who fought at Waterloo and others who saw or spoke to Napoleon on St Helena.
On 20th June there will be an opportunity to visit some of these.

@CommunityFibre A third one earlier today. I've lodged a support ticket.

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@CommunityFibre Are you doing work in NW6? We've had two brief outages in the last 12 hours.

@Kickstarter There seems to be something wrong with the search. The "Newest" search hasn't shown any new projects for a couple of days.

@victorizzov @F1 It's going to be a really interesting test of the new rules to see if he's able to overtake as he's done before.

@fia Nothing about this says that any engine is illegal.
If the FIA changes the testing method half way through the season and a team has to change their design as a result, then they may well seek a relaxation on the budget cap.

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@Samsea04 @fia The only thing that will make them do anything is if they make less money.
So, if it ruins racing, stop watching, don't buy merch, tell people it's rubbish on social media.

"On one day, five of the 20 courts were sitting empty because there is not the budget to keep them open. What should be the busiest crown court in the country is being forced to run at reduced capacity..."

This is why there's a backlog, not cos of juries!

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

For years, the Post Office and Fujitsu covered up the bugs in their faulty Horizon computer software, blaming the subpostmasters using it.

Thousands had their lives ruined. Some took their own lives.

Now Channel 4 News has obtained a 2006 contract between the two companies - overlooked despite being uploaded to the Post Office Inquiry's website - which a forensic accountant who investigated the Horizon scandal has described as "dynamite".

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago.

They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.

Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse.

No one charged for conspiracy.

@The_A_Disruptor @montie "disingenuous comment" is an overly polite way of say "a lie".

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@TheUnrealDougP @MercedesF1_Hub @Motorsport_IT Alternatively:
Mercedes (and potentially Red Bull Racing) have reportedly found a legal way to increase compression ratio, generating an increase in horsepower from a given volume of fuel. Ferrari, Honda and Audi missed it and are upset.

[CrimBarrister @CrimBarrister]

Here, from Lammy's appearance in front of the Justice Committee, is what's REALLY going on.

Here, Lammy confirms that even if the backlog was at a sustainable level, he would STILL be looking at introducing restrictions on jury trials!

@AWCook0558 @philatrail The inadequacy of the drainage channel is not the root cause. It was inadequate, either because the design was inadequate or because the construction didn't match the design. Further, inadequate design could have been a consequence of inadequate site data.

@SimonCalder Berlin last week. 2 hours from plane to exit - but they weren't doing any of the new stuff, just totally under-resourced.

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@NapWarsPod They were able to keep him under closer scrutiny there - just in case!

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@Brent_Council Several streets around us aren't on the list, but have trees. They were cleared last year, what are you doing this year?

@Lance0123456789 @NoToDigitalID The BBC doesn't have shareholders.

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@Kickstarter is there any possibility of a more detailed filtering system.
Examples would be to not see any project which only delivers STLs for people who don't have a 3D printer or any project that has items shipped from the USA because of the high shipping costs.

[John @JustsomeguyJohn]

@thameswater I understand that it's now been fixed after someone mentioned an insurance liability.
