Why do famously self-defined atheists all get buried in Westminster Abbey? Is it like an Atheist Church or something?

I really should have tagged this... Oh well...

#missions #bbc4 #scifi

A few episodes in, and the American crew (under a thinly veiled Elon Musk analogue) are seriously evil... And the French crew are over dramatic about everything...

Yay for racial stereotypes. Lol

Watching "Missions" on BBC 4. A French series about a Mars mission. Its OK except for the crew's general incompetence. Also they are way to young to be in a space programme, like the Enterprise in Star Trek being crewed entirely by Wesley Crushers...

We just watched a movie on Horror Channel* called Planet of The Sharks... It was so bad it went straight through "so bad it's good" territory and out the other end back into bad... Think Sharknado crossed with Waterworld...

* So called because everything on the channel is horrifically bad, either in terms of acting, plot, production... Or all of the above...

Of course, Cambridge News is on the same political slant as the Daily Mail, so I doubt many here would read it except as a last resort for local news...

So, it seems Cambridge News is another horrific data harvester, requiring individual opt out of each advertiser. If you use it, beware...

on the guided busway... tried to sign into the free WiFi.. to find the checkbox for "please send me spam" is a required field... so 4g it is then.

Today is beer festival day... We're heading to Cambridge where we risk having to talk to strange looking cis hets...

I saw a thing earlier about Alexa spreading a recorded convo. And then Amazon saying how all these things need to line up to make it happen and... So unlikely...

And then I recall VoiceAttack interpreting random noise down the street as "target ahead" and my autopilot in Elite Dangerous losing lock.

What Amazon consider proper packaging for...

An SD card...

'tis an odd thing... I was wandering through Coldharbour, to rescue Lyris Titanborn, and perhaps disassemble Manimarco, as you do... when a dremora turned and said "Hello, is someone present?"

In what seems like our usual style, @geekylou and I have decided to visit the Cambridge Beer Festival on Saturday - yeah, last day, mostly run out :( but work etc.
Anyway, turns out that's when the thunderstorms are due, and showers from Thursday means mud is likely.
Oh well, can't back out now as friends...
Anyway, if anyone is there, come say hi or whatever...

So if Fallout 4 were set in the UK, would synths escape via the London Underground?

Why does some toff wedding in nodnoL get so much media attention? It's like every single app and newsfeed is trying to remind me that the children of thieves and robbers are doing it.

I just don't want to know. I don't f'n care!

Sorry about that. We shall now return you to your regularly scheduled snark.
