3 months until we have Stranger Things: Settlers of The Upside Down

Finally, some good AI news

Nope, don’t believe. Where are all the ghosts from the 1990s dressed in shell-suits? Or the ones from the 2000s dressed in baggy pants and with frosted tips? Is haunting only a Victorian afterlife pastime?

TLDR: 500ml bottles. They could have just as validly said it’s one 13.5 million litre bottle.

Give fans the Tron movie they want, without an actor they hate, and they might just go see it

Not the TPS reports!

This the story of how he got short & yellow?

For the first fraction of a second, after reading the post title, I thought we were talking about developing a rocket to chase and capture SpaceX property. The actuality does not spark joy.

Can shrimp even ride horses?

Vibe math. No thank you

Too much deep fried turkey?

Arthur C Clarke is an excellent author and the Rama series is one of my all-time favourites. I’d recommend anything by Philip K Dick, though honestly I think a good reference would be to pick works listed in the SF Masterworks collection, it’s how I found many of my favourite SF novels.

If you fancy venturing into modern SF classics, my favourites are by Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks and William Gibson; though does Gibson count? He doesn’t even have a middle initial 😄

The bat travelled 1,000 miles. It is not stated how far the car travelled.

The Express is well known in the UK for exaggerated and rage-bait headlines. That and predicting outrageous weather events, without evidence, that never materialise

The Daily Express is a UK right-wing tabloid newspaper and is a very unreliable news source. I can only presume that the US version is from the same mould.

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it’s own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

Hint: it’s not the visas, it’s the racists

What a cover!
