Why have we British evolved to only really tolerate temperatures from 19C to 21C?

So after Twitter pushed me a notification for a Laurence Fox post (and several Elon ones which have sadly now just degenerated to ravings). I'm out. It's a shame. I'll be over on the new twitter.

Anyone who thinks they can deliver self driving cars needs to take one to Rome and pit it against Italians on the roads there. Me and Google maps did alright though.

One of the first books, if not the first, that taught me programming. Or started to.

The number of sites selling/reviews of folding bikes that don't show the bike in it's folded state and a video of the mechanism. Seems like a basic thing. And no, I can't afford a brompton.

Hard to get a good shot but the sliver of moon between Venus and Jupiter tonight was quite something.

For those people who, like me, loved the original Pharoah game (city/pyramid builder) might like to know this is now available from @Triskell_Int. Just so I'm not the only one going to be up all night trying to get that monument completed. On Steam and GoG.
Oh Pharaoh, your reign has begun. 🙌
Pharaoh: A New Era from @Triskell_Int is available now on PC!

It's built and it works!! Added a motor from another set to automate it - but it has loads of details and whilst that large tower was repetitive it's also therapeutic! Including linking the 222 chain segments plus 33 conveyer ones to form the lift mechanism.

They get smaller... (0603). Hence the digital microscope for Christmas! And smaller 0402 (1mm x 0.5mm!). Gonna need a smaller soldering tip for those!

Been 20 years since I really did any electronics despite wanting to get back to it. Have a project in mind - but of course these days it's all surface mount. I'm told you can hand solder it. Got a practice kit (blame .@rmc47 ) and well yeah - this is the biggest size component.

I also resent that I have to login to play installed, offline, non multi player games that I paid for.

In my experience tubs of @UKCelebrations at work or elsewhere are invariably left with just mini Mars bars at the end which I'll grudgingly eat eventually. Somewhat ironic?
