“The cads!” expostulated Bertie.

You mean the Bell end d'Or?

I mean, _British_ centre right. American communist.

Yeah... I'm pretty centre right naturally but it's really obvious to me that the modern right is massively more dangerous than the modern left. "Respects the rule of law" is an absolute non-negotiable.

Your answer on Ukraine / Gaza is excellent.

Why isn’t the base of an iMac a MagSafe charging point?

And why can’t the wireless Apple mice & keyboards be charged wirelessly on it?

And why doesn’t it have a very small battery, just enough to get you over a power glitch?

Keep peace with the lords of the jungle
The tiger, the panther, the bear;
And bother not Hathi the Silent
And mock not the boar in his lair

Always fancied that last line on my office door…

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds.

The years to come seemed waste of breath
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death

I’m very sceptical that you can shove even a very sharp knife 8cm into a human being by accident and without knowing that’s what you’ve done.

I also don’t understand why even a real knife would need to be that sharp…

It’s got to be Popular Alliance so everyone can make the joke that they’re neither popular nor an alliance
