Checking Twitter ahead of the reopening today and I can see people still arguing about the 2nd referendum petition from 2016 😭

We are pleased to announce that the petitions website will open today at 3pm.
Start or sign a petition today: petition.parliament.uk/
Reach newspapers really are just click bait now. This is based on what a speculated rise in fuel duty might cost a motorist per year and not some new 'charge' being introduced - I suspect these are AI generated.

Thought I'd have a few hours at the top of the Rails Strava cycling club leaderboard by getting out for a ride early today only to find @nateberkopec has already done five rides on Zwift 😅
I always love it when @AvantiWestCoast run a train in reverse order and I have to sprint 150m to get to the cycle carriage before they leave without me 😭
Even realtimetrains.co.uk let me down today. At least they had me standing in the middle - the platform displays would’ve had me running 250m.
These two KELs raised in 1999 from today's questioning of Andy Dunks clearly demonstrate that the underlying Escher Riposte software wasn't robust enough in the event of power cuts or disk failure. It's no wonder members of the SSC didn't want to testify.

There's a common statement from FUJ/POL witnesses that crown offices didn't see these problems and that's true because they would have more reliable power, permanent connections and more counters so less likely to miss replication broadcasts.
I guess SCOTUS just revealed Godel's loophole 😬

TIL that e-bike motors have an IP54 rating which seems absurdly low given where they're positioned. Also washing with even a regular hose fitted to a tap is inadvisable as the '4' in '54' means protected from splashes only. 😬

The real problem with context switching isn't the loss of 'flow', it's overriding your muscle memory to type single or double quotes depending on what rubocop rules the app has
So when is workwear guy doing a thread on how Rishi's suit was the wrong choice for announcing a general election in the rain?
Turns out it was just three minutes after I posted 😂

Imagine having to turn a 55 / 10 ratio at 120rpm to get to 52mph 😅

ALT Example gearing required for achieving 52mph on a bike showing an RPM of 120 is required with a front cog of 55 teeth and a back cog of 10 teeth
Daily Telegraph journalists told "check your research" after front page claims cyclists hit 52mph chasing Strava segments, despite that being faster than Olympic track cyclists

What I don't get about the Post Office inquiry is why the source code and any version control commit messages haven't been required for disclosure. I can see why Horizon Online would be commercially sensitive since it's still in use but Legacy must be obsolete?
If you're running apt-update in a GHA and getting weird NOSPLIT errors it's because MS have a truncated InRelease file here: packages.microsoft.com/ubunt…
Been like this for a few hours now so if you want to get on with your work delete the microsoft-prod.list file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then run `apt-get update`
(assuming you don't need any of the packages in this file: packages.microsoft.com/ubunt…)
