Be Excellent To Each Other

Scenes at Oxford Circus yesterday looked 'fucking horrible', as opposed to its default setting 'horrible'.

I'm always amazed by people being proper idiots. There was only one logical choice. Go get pissed, and let the booze taxi get you home late at night. Why would anyone have tried to throw themselves into that mess?!

What's happening in London?

London was given a vasectomy last night when its tube was tied by its workers, who want better working conditions.

Exactly! This whole strike is a fantastic excuse to get rat-arsed in the sun then hand fistfuls of dosh over to Uber.

My memories of the pictures are clear muddled.

THE twisted troglodytes who inhabit London have been forced to expose themselves to daylight.

The near-blind, cannibalistic subhumans, who usually live their short brutish lives in either tunnels or offices, are now groping their way through the capital’s streets.

Nathan Muir, whose slimy green-white skin began to smoke and blossom into flame when touched by the sun, said: “The yellow eye in the heavens judges me.

“It burns me for my ugliness, because I defied the Lore by exposing my flesh to the Roofless World.”

The stunted goblins are trained from birth never to make eye contact with one another and use their holy text The Met Roe to hide their faces.

Their subterranean world is paralysed by a vicious war between the Riders and the Drivers begun by the Drivers’ megalomaniac leader, Crow.

Anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher said: “Crow demands an increase in tithe for the Drivers, insane idiot savants who spend their whole lives shackled to the controls of vast mechanical worms.

“Life is unimaginably awful down in the tunnels. There is a form of crude poetry inscribed on the walls, but it’s not anything a normal human could enjoy.”

Investments can go up and down.

I'm struggling to think of a reason I'd want an app to tell me that (given it's a broadly static figure).

If there was an extinction level event, say a massive asteroid strike that knocked out all life on the planet overnight, can you imagine what it would be like for the ISS crew? If they's been resupplied recently, they'd have about 6 months.

Sorry for the downer.

ISS is in a fairly low level orbit. I'd guess that the shit kicked up by an asteroid strike large enough to wipe out life on earth would give enough debris thrown back up to fuck the space station up in pretty short order too.

Sounds like a great film plot.

It's basically the plot to Neal Stephenson's new book Seveneves. The moon shatters into fragments that, a few years later, will pelt the Earth with so many meteorites that all of mankind will go extinct. What happens next?

It's the sort of book that will put one of the characters in a small capsule leaking air through a micrometeorite hole then go on a seven page tangent about orbital mechanics before telling you if they die or not.

And then there would be automated trains carrying nobody running 24/7, coal being loaded into power stations to fuel radio broadcasts that nobody would hear. Satellites taking photographs of things nobody would ever see And all this time, Google's AI uploads, archives and draws its twisted pictures of an unoccupied world.

That's an interesting idea. What sort of event that wiped out the earth would spare the station? Total nuclear destruction maybe? Multiple fault line breaks leading to tsunami?

Beautiful. Yours?

Why don't fridges have user set table thermostat controls, so I could just select (for example) 2 degrees C as my desired fridge temp and the fridge maintain that rather than me twiddle the dial thing to a number that represents nothing?

I used to randomly twiddle the knob in my fridge and I never could tell if I was making it warmer or cooler.

My old fridge had that.

Mine does. It's set to "4".

OK... er, nope, don't know any other rich people.

Pfft. I'm not rich. I had a baby.

I usually go on the assumption that the higher the number, the cooler the fridge, which seems contradictory in terms of temperature but makes sense I. Terms of output.
