"where we're going, we don't need consultations"
Bad news for anyone thinking of responding to the consultation on the new electric vehicle duty.

The consultation opens today, and closes last March.

Getting the sticky off was a grim job but cleaned up well. Generic two-part epoxy didn't work; left it to set for a couple of days and seemed firm but after a partial reassembly and opening and closing the screen a few times white lines appeared and soon cracked again. Genuine JB-Weld now on order!

Creating an unsustainable economic model (replace! replace! replace!) does not protect the economy. It condemns it to inevitable collapse. Your old phone is grand. So is your old computer.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Meta AI is so fecking useless. Imagine being so stupid as to click the "why is this lovely pic of doggoes lovely" link. How sad. (For the record, the beagle is my beagle - photo from the doggy daycare)

Been a few years since I've been on board, but she's a lovely ship, great museum, and a real jewel in Belfast's crown. Well worth a visit.
I’ve written a special post (free) for a friend on her birthday about the story of a ship with the same name.

The museum ship HMS Caroline, the past surviving vessel that saw action at Jutland and a training school through much of the 20th Century

The Caroline
So I found an old notebook the other day when looking for some research notes for an upcoming article and found at the front a list of “Things to do by 2025”.

Did you know a "jiffy" is a real unit of time? Physicists define it as the time it takes light to travel a distance of one femtometre, which is a millionth of a millionth of a millimetre. This was my co-author's favourite fact she learned from working on "About Time". Read more in this interview:

Just spent far too long this evening in the company of the Reverend Bayes, looking at tumour DNA sequencing to find germline cancer-predisposing gene variants. I've shown him the door - he'll have to stagger home on his own. My own fault though...

What the feck is going on in Kerry?!

I want to credit the map-maker/survey owner, but alas they are an anonymous Redditor so I cannot.

Irish Unity seems further away than ever.
It rumbles on. Someone is now doing an official survey and they're going to geographically map the results. God I love nerds! 🤓
