after watching the depressing 2nd part of "Black Mirror" I wonder what part 3 will have in store for us.

@asha_shar My Windows Store utilised regional pricing. Unfortunately that's no longer the case. FH6 Premium is selling for around 130 dollars (in our local currency). Steam is a lot cheaper at 80 dollars. I get there is no support for my country but at least bring back RP.

Am probably going to go on a break. Twitter has gotten really annoying. Need to focus on work, learning and reading.

I scored 60. What about you?

I feel confident that nobody gets 100.

Sure, sure, sure. It’s definitely about saving Christians and not about Nigeria becoming fuel-sovereign, producing 70 million liters a day, and expanding Dangote’s refinery capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day.

Got it.

I remember when I first arrived, there was black mold in my bathroom, and the landlord tried to gaslight me, blaming me for it.

[danny @d4nnytye]

my landlord in final year of uni left us without a working fridge-freezer for a month because she was on holiday, put wallpaper over black mould, then tried to take £1000 off our deposit because of dust on the skirting boards. i don’t care what any tenant does

@Cereal_Twit Only other choice is Linux.

I regret getting the 64 GB iPad in 2022. The operating system takes up so much space that there is barely any room left for anything else.

Sometimes I regret spending more time on data visualization and analysis rather than Machine Learning. On the upside, I still remember the concepts, and with practice, it's improving.

Reminds me of the time I caught a late train from Cambridge to London and some guys were fighting. It was a very stressful journey.

BREAKING NEWS: Cambridgeshire Police have said multiple people have been stabbed in an incident on a LNER train which was stopped at Huntingdon Station in Cambridgeshire and two arrests have been made.

The “vaccine enlarged my cousin’s balls” tweet wasn’t a give away?

Questions for friends
1. Does your feed ever refresh right when you’re reading something interesting?
2. Do you ever forget what you just read because it suddenly disappears?
3. Does it bother you when that happens?
4. If it does, how do you find closure afterward?

I was actually wrong in my post below on the new tariffs on China after the Trump-Xi deal, because it looks like Trump lied with his "47% overall tariffs" figure.

The White House factsheet that was just released confirms that the "reciprocal tariff" (i.e. meaning the "Liberation Day" tariff) applied to China is now just 10%, the lowest applicable rate that I think only Singapore and the UK benefited from to date.

And when you pair this with the reduction of 10% of the so-called "fentanyl tariff", it effectively means that China's overall tariff rate is back to EXACTLY where things stood before Liberation Day (which I had calculated at 40.7%, see post below), which is pretty incredible when you think about it.

So Trump went through all that drama just to end up right where he was in late March.

Once again my timeline refreshed and I lost my train of thought. Need to stop using Twitter.

@MichaelKugelman I wasn’t surprised. It was bound to happen.

It’s so much deeper than anyone understands. Here is Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine’s father with Prince Charles and Prince William in the early 80s. Robert was outed as a Mossad/KGB double agent and mysteriously died off his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine a week later.

Bill Maher: A number of the members of the administration are now living on a military base. Stephen Miller just moved there. Kristi Noem lives on a military base. Rubio. Pete Hegseth. For people who love America so much, they seem to be scared of it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: I'm one of those people they call a conspiracy theorist. When I hear things like that, I'm like, what do they know that I don't know?
