Kim Leadbeater (Labour) won with 13,296 votes, a majority of just 323. I wonder if the result would have been the same if she was not Jo Cox's sister?

Intrigued to know how many people asked their Google assistant, "What day is it today?" I'll hold my hand up and admit I asked my Google mini this morning.

That moment having said repeatedly for years, "Do not quote me for items that you do not have in stock!" and yet they go straight ahead and quote you for equipment they do not have in stock! 🤦♂️

Hands up all those who remember people walking around shouting at the top of their voice into their mobile phone? Not because the recipient couldn't hear but to ensure you looked and saw they had a mobile phone. Encryption is pretty much the same. 90% of the population doesn't need it, but if you want to look like Billy-Big-Bollocks, you let everyone know you use it.

LOL. My Mrs is deaf in one ear. We often say to her "Can you turn the TV up a bit more, the guy in Manchester can't quite hear it!"

I suspect it would be honourable if you actually attended. I'm not sure saying: "I was there virtually." is a tad naughty.

It's funny how people on Mastodon think EVERYONE is on the Fediverse.
People on Twitter think EVERYONE is on Twitter.
People on Facebook think EVERYONE is on FB
"I only know of it because you mention it and you're the only person I know uses it."

A couple of months ago, I told the window cleaner to come every other month rather than every month. He actually got his arse in hand with me.
He was due yesterday but didn't show up (Talk about immature), so we got a new old school one yesterday. A man with a bucket and a ladder rather than the other twat and his hosepipe pole and his "I don't need to dry them I put a chemical in the wash. WTF?

That's a point. If you fill out a car insurance request on GoCompare, for example, it will ask you how many days a week you drive? For the last year, my car has hardly moved off the drive! So that's a tough one to answer truthfully.

I think We live in a mix between 1984 and Brave New World.Surveillance everywhere but people happily sharing their data.

It always makes me smile that everyone in the FOSS community thinks that the world at large (Which is a billion times bigger than the FOSS community) thinks the same as them in terms of security when in reality, Joe Public couldn't give a toss. Millions of devices are out there with no AV—millions of people using their DOB as a password. My Missus uses passwords that would make you cry! And as for sharing data.......
I wondered how long it would take insurance companies to implement Lie Detection. Thank The Pond Gods; this lot have dropped the idea.

It rained when I walked to the station and then stopped when I got there earlier.
Where were your patio doors then, huh?

I've had to close it now. It's gone a bit cold. The dog looked at me as if I'm some sort of jailer!
Is it just me that finds it ironic that people on Twitter et al. are posting messages saying, "I don't have any money to buy in the dip"
So let me get this right, You've no money yet you want to invest in #crypto, which is currently haemorrhaging money, and you're hoping someone will flip you a few quid with your "Get Rich Quick s̶c̶h̶e̶m̶e̶ gamble."

Even though it says in black & white what you will need, I bet people still buy it without a POE router or switch in their home.🤦♂️
