Also love the idea of *barely* 30 million kettles in landfill to reach these wild financial savings.

Statue of David was a marketing campaign for Bill and Ted that just got out of hand confirmed.
I imported the Statue of David into the Metahuman Creator through @UnrealEngine so you don't have to do the hard yards to find out what David, the Chad in 2022, would look like.

In 5th grade, my son asked me “Mama, is there something wrong with me?” My heart broke, but I kept calm to say no and ask why. White woman teacher in his favorite class (math) wouldn’t stop calling his name. Always on him. He’d be doing same as others but she’d call him out. 1/11

This looks awesome! Might have to pick one up just to play with the tech - reminds me of a bunch of similar things we were playing with for MekaMon back at Reach 🥺

So my mum works for the NHS and received an email saying they were going to receive a reward because of how hard they've worked over the past few months and the dedication they've shown... She received a cupcake today. That was her reward 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

The question: can I pretend that I can still write like an academic, creating a document unlittered by hackneyed expressions? The answer: no.

From a well respected friend and intensivist/A&E consultant who is currently in northern Italy: 1/ ‘I feel the pressure to give you a quick personal update about what is happening in Italy, and also give some quick direct advice about what you should do.

Earlier today we announced the ARCore Depth API. It gives developers per-pixel depth maps for occlusions, hit testing, meshing, synthetic lighting, and more… all using a single RGB camera. More here: goo.gle/2DUPqVs

Updating details on the household response site for my council. Pressed their embedded back button to modify my wife's details. It created a duplicate of her, which I then couldn't remove. Only given the option to kick her out, or mark her as dead. Pretty good Tuesday in my book.

I'm currently in a queue outside an Apple store for a pre-booked appointment to give Apple £1000 on behalf of my wife. Why a queue when I have an appointment?! 😢

I find it really hard when reading to switch to a unusual notation. Would be great in an ebook if everything was defined in a neutral parametrised syntax (as far as is reasonable), and you could just set it up yourself.
