Virgin's new B737-8 just out of the paintshop at Renton with a special livery to celebrate their 150th B737. We saw a picture a few days ago & thought it was fake, but these are real! A bit of a throwback to the Virgin Blue days?

@rtwlz For a sequel can I suggest one that plays the Countdown timer music directly into the meeting in the last 30 seconds before the scheduled end of the meeting? youtu.be/-osJHnBXsMQ

made my computer dramatically play BBC news music before every meeting

@nomadpossum @hamhammer27 These words are definitely the voice of someone who’s had to explain this 1000 times and is slowly losing their mind.
English
@SCDC87 @kyliebytes They both had middle seats so they had literally nothing to offer.
English
@kyliebytes He forgot The Rule: if two people want others to move so they can sit together, the one with the better seat has to be the one to trade. Move 22 rows back and sit with your buddy if it’s so important!
English
guy on the middle seat of my redeye flight bravely asked me if i would move from my exit row window seat to a middle row seat 16 rows back so his friend could be with him. when i said no, he asked the aisle guy, who just laughed

@flightradar24 I get you’re using the airline colours but that means it’s very hard to trace which is AirArabia and which is Emirates without some other way to clearly disambiguate them. Yeah you can zoom in but that defeats the purpose (and obviously it wouldn’t pass accessibility tests).
English
Hearing that @Guardian editor Katharine Viner has been overwhelmed with complaints (many from her friends) about Jonathan Liew’s abhorrent column justifying smashing up a branch of Gail’s because it had a Jewish founder.
Insiders say she is beyond angry and heads will roll.

@PawelHuryn Thanks but it’s 11pm-5am in ADST, 9pm-3am in JST, 8pm-2am in SGT, 5:30pm-11:30pm in IST, etc.

2x Claude usage for the next 2 weeks. Did the timezone math for you.
Claude@claudeai
A small thank you to everyone using Claude: We’re doubling usage outside our peak hours for the next two weeks.
English
@ConorMagee29 @hamhammer27 Interesting that (a) they’re not trains given the stopping pattern (though I get that it’s easier to organise a coaches + drivers) and (b) they’re free, while presumably the trains remain Opal fares.
English
@hamhammer27 I suspect ‘turn up and go’ is being used to distinguish from the usual booked seat coaches that are run by NSW TrainLink, although it’s probably not the right phrase to use
English
@constexprvoid @gordonhudsonnu @edwinhayward @jwegener Usage patterns in 5 minute increments will effectively show when everyone’s asleep, when people wake up and when everyone’s out.
English
@gordonhudsonnu @edwinhayward @jwegener That’s still a pattern - if you’re not home power usage will stay roughly the same during the day as it is at night.
English
Did you know your electric meter is broadcasting your live usage data right now?!
I sent Claude a photo of my LADWP meter, bought the suggested $49 antenna off Amazon, and in 1 minute and 6 seconds of Claude Code’s time, was seeing my live meter data.
It even pulled my meter ID from the photo so it knew which signal was mine
We are living in CRAZY times 🤯🤯🤯

So does this mean my 2022 MacBook Air is now called a MacBook Ceo?
Tim Cook@tim_cook
Today we welcome MacBook Neo, now available together with the new iPhone 17e, iPad Air, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the Studio Display family.

@8ballskinny They use an average and for a larger aircraft it works most of the time. The weight distribution is important. It has caused a crash when on a smaller aircraft and the average was sufficiently wrong: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Midwe…

@josephdviviano This feels like something I would normally see in a pitch black room in an art gallery.
English
as you might imagine I was blown away. a little unsettled. it felt like art. so I replied: "wow that was really incredible. I love where you are going with this. Can you dig deeper into these themes?"
and claude gave me this

me: "can you use whatever resources you like, and python, to generate a short 'youtube poop' video and render it using ffmpeg ? can you put more of a personal spin on it? it should express what it's like to be a LLM" claude opus 4.6:

@gotrice2024 These aren't common in my country but does it not have elevators or stairwells? Going up or down one level will move them to the other spiral and then they'd be able to walk around that spiral to the car. Or just step over the fence lol.
English
The man and his girlfriend were parked in this double helix parking garage. They didn’t come back the same way they came and now they can’t figure out how to get back to the same level the car is on. They see it through the wire fence but if they go the lower route they actually end up below the vehicle. If they take the higher route, they end up above it. Has this ever happened to you, how did you get back to your car?
English
@RachelMoiselle They’re already onshore so an application for a Protection Visa (subclass 866) seems a bit of a no-brainer at this point, especially given the statements that were made, if there isn’t a more suitable visa. In 2023-24, 75% of Iranian applications for this type were granted.
English
What the hell is even the point of an asylum system that fails to protect the most obviously and incontrovertibly in need?
If these girls are sent back to Iran, they could very well be heading back to their deaths.
Bloomberg@business
Australia is facing pressure to protect the Iranian women’s soccer team, the Lionesses, as the squad faces criticism at home over their failure to sing the national anthem at a Women’s Asian Cup match on the Gold Coast last week bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I wish safety briefings would get a real update to succinctly but clearly present messaging around documented issues like not taking belongings in an evac and not inflating life jackets inside. But hey to fasten your seatbelts push the ends together until they click.
The FAA ✈️@FAANews
In the event of an emergency evacuation, every second counts. Flight crews are elite safety professionals trained to move passengers off an aircraft in seconds. Passengers must listen to their instructions and exit the aircraft immediately leaving all carry-on items behind. Any delay risks the safety of everyone on board. Leave the luggage!

@elsathorslund @MrM_Holmes @SenseReceptor Note the reply was from "R. Paul Richard", apparently the then White House Deputy Staff Secretary.
English
@MrM_Holmes @SenseReceptor Actually Swedish PM Carl Bildt emailed him, didn’t get a reply, and a Swedish staffer had to call the WH about it a few days later. Turns out they weren’t connected yet. Entirely possible Clinton was barely involved lol qz.com/861001/i-sent-…

Bill Clinton, Boomer-maxxing:
Clinton's own counsel: "Have you ever sent an email Mr. President?"
Clinton: "I sent one email to John Glenn... when he was in space... and I sent [one] to...a ship...during the Kosovo War... Since then, I'm not sure I've sent one."
