@JokesWithMark I realise your podcast isn’t “non-comedians send in their attempts at jokes”, but this came into my head while listening to an episode …
I thought I had a joke about an off-peak train, but I couldn’t get it to work.
It’s easy to underestimate the difference in magnitude between numbers in millions and billions, but this is like being fired from a £40k/year job, then learning that you’ll get up to a pound every year for your birthday.
I thought this was a parody account. It’s not! It’s the Governments trade minister proudly announcing its latest deal “could be worth up to £1 million over five years”
We’ve just heard Brexit is costing the Government £40bn a year in lost tax revenue! Heaven help us!
The championing of the NHS to win Brexit, by people who knew they were going to dismantle the NHS is fraud to the level of criminality. And I am sure those buses convinced (at least) 500,000 to vote Leave which is, as it turned out, all they needed. Sickening.
I know it’s a bit late now we’ve all mostly left for Mastodon, but just use a third party client (Tweetdeck etc). No algorithm; no promoted tweets; no trends; no ads.
@pentacent_hq@elixirlang At first sight that looked surprising, but then I realised I match on struct names like “%Date{} = var” all the time, which is basically the same.
