Stuck in the house 8am to 1pm (30 degree plus temperature) waiting for @EE - they don't show up and no communication (despite multiple confirmation messages leading up to today).

@Dannythefink What do you make of the claims, made for example in Liz Carr's documentary, that people are using MAID for economic hardship reasons rather than poor health?

@shortthought @Psythor I see that the Future Homes Standard will be mandating heat pumps from next year, so that's good. Possibly more of a case by case basis whether solar panels would make sense for any particular build.

Galaxy brain idea:

Keir Starmer should appoint Boris Johnson to the role of UK ambassador to the United States.

He has the ear of Trump, he cares about Ukraine. He’s a shameless populist but can act in the national interest.

@TomChivers @sergeantdixie The idea originated with Émile Borel who phrased it as a million monkeys for an indefinite amount of time. But I think 'million' was a metaphor for 'very a lot'.

[James Hopkin @tasjaevan]

@Psythor I feel like installing heat pumps as standard rather than gas boilers would be higher priority than solar panels in damp, grey Britain.

My team is hiring an intern interested in compilers/VMs/PL. We’re knee-deep building a from-scratch VM for Verse. We also work on tons of other cool stuff, including an LLVM-forked compiler to auto transactionalize C++ code. https://t.co/BNSR2mgW3R

1/ @SamFowles, you've written a libellous and legally incoherent attack piece on the gender critical cases in the UK and you should withdraw many of the suggestions you make and correct the public misinformation you've spread here. I'll identify precisely what I mean.

Flashback

Donald Trump: “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her”

TV host: “Stop it. It's so weird.” #TrumpIsWeird #TBT

How cowardly to pick on @NazShahBfd.

I - proudly - took my Oath on the Hebrew Bible, wearing my Kipa.

“Why do we allow this?”

Because we’re a decent, tolerant, welcoming country under the Rule of Law. Which makes space for people of all religions and of none.

And even bigots.
