@SteveInmanClips For the flip

9 points. She didn't quite stick the landing.

@fesshole Amateur. I colour code my plates and have created an excel spreadsheet to track usage and optimal rotation patterns. Summary beatings are issued to family members who fail to adhere to the rotation doctrine.

It bothers me that many people probably don't rotate their cupboard dinner plate stack when replacing clean ones. Which means up and down the country there may be thousands of stack-bottom plates going unused for years

@ManaByte If the world was flat, the internet would be full of selfies like this...why isn't it? Just a general agreement between *the whole f*cking planet* not to travel to the edge and take photos?

There is a reason people do not debate Flat Earthers or Moon landing deniers. It is not because the evidence is weak. It is because the conversation is rigged from the start. You can bring measurements, physics, engineering, independent tracking, international verification, and experiments they can do in their own backyard, and none of it matters. The moment the facts show up, they shout fake, edited, CGI, conspiracy, or “that’s just your belief.” You cannot debate someone who treats every piece of evidence as invalid by default. You cannot debate someone who demands proof and then rejects the proof the second it appears. You cannot debate someone who thinks their personal disbelief outranks measurable reality. A debate requires both sides to accept evidence. Flat Earth and Moon landing denial collapse the moment evidence enters the room, so the only move left is to deny the room exists. That is why people do not debate them. Not because the globe is fragile, but because the argument they bring is. You cannot have a real discussion with someone who decided ahead of time that nothing you show them will ever count.

@implausibleblog @UKLabour All seems a bit academic to me. Keep seeing posts saying "I left uni with £xxxk of debt and its still going up". They pay the minimum, will never pay it off, then it is scrapped. If the interest is capped, it rises slower, but they never pay it off anyway..

@UKLabour So the thing that was interest free Will have a capped interest rate? You're just as awful as the Conservatives

NEW: Student loan interest rates will be capped for plan 2 and 3 borrowers from 1 September. Labour is stepping in to protect graduates at home from the consequences of challenges abroad.

@AutismCapital Despite it staying in a blob, if my kids did that, everything that was within 10m would now be slightly sticky.

Have you ever seen honey in space? This might be the coolest video we've seen all week. Nothing will ever be the same.

@fesshole Whilst sharing the hate of trying to sort out something that resembles a costume after remembering the night before. My 7 year old read Harry Potter and owns two entire bookshelves full. Is barely seen without a book in her hand. Have more faith in kids.

Primary school teacher here. I'm so over world fucking book day. Most kids barely own a book these days so why waste a day's learning to prance about in nasty, polyester princess or boy wizard costumes? Frozen is not a book and no 7 year old has read Harry Potter. Utter nonsense.

@JayinKyiv The modern day 'Kings Shilling', but this time a glass bottomed tankard wont save you (yes, I know it's a myth...)

Russians complaining that the government is now adding hidden clauses into everyday civilian documents that, upon signing, enlist the signer into the military. In addition, men are being called to court under threat of arrest, but upon arrival, its a pitch to join army.

@edwinhayward Challenger ruined live launches for me. Now I wait until after, have a quick squint at the headlines and if it went well, I watch it then.

I'm surprised only 1.8 million people are watching the NASA YouTube live stream of the Artemis II launch. Would have expected it to be a lot higher.

@fesshole So many AI generated responses...

I'm a DJ. People ask why I don't DJ in nightclubs anymore. Well I'm paid three times as much plus it's easier to pull at a wedding. And let's not forget free buffet.

@BladeoftheS This post has a 'Spinning Jenny' vibe to it...

RAM prices are collapsing because OpenAI couldn't afford to purchase 40% of the world's supply as it promised. AI is about to die. How loud are you cheering?

@fesshole Says more about her than it does about him...

I suspected my husband was watching porn on his laptop. I installed a small spy cam in his bookshelf. Turned out he was playing Minecraft. He's 44. This is worse than porn.

@archer_rs Went to a martial arts expo. There were all the normal stands with various forms of Karate, Jiu-jitsu and Taekwondo etc. Got to a Sikh stand and there were two massive guys with a pile of various swords, maces and other weapons. I know which guys I would not be fighting with.

Asked my nephew how he enjoyed his trip to London, he said, "I got to watch a shoplifter being beaten up by two Sikh men using a mop and a frozen chicken. That was a first for me"

@dancefeverqueen @fesshole True. It wouldn't have been much of a fess though. I Have to remember that Fesshole isn't what it once was and lower my expectations accordingly.

@TheGrimTweeter3 @fesshole Wouldn't have been tough if OP is a woman

Brought up by my widowed mum, I was 18 when I learned that men don't sit down to pee. I'd got a job as a cleaner in the pub and was confused by the urinals. The landlady was in stitches when I asked what they were.

@PaulSchleifer @ZoeJardiniere "Well, this is sh!t" he remarked, looking at your x-ray...

@ZoeJardiniere Had a bit of a chat with a gastroenterologist at the hospital on Monday. He was getting a really slow response accessing my notes. “Maybe Palantir are data harvesting the system at the moment,” I ‘joked’. “I wouldn’t be bloody surprised,” he snarled.

We don’t want private US surveillance tech embedded throughout our government structures. No one voted for this insanity. Not in our intelligence data, not in our defence capabilities, not in our health service. Kick Palantir out of the public realm.

@fesshole The aroma helps give her coffee a particularly 'nutty' flavour.

Wife's fess: she sits on the toilet drinking her morning coffee. She's a savage, right?

@fesshole The twist is, you are bad at setting coherent targets, a bully and they've checked out ages ago. You didn't like them as they spoke up whilst the rest sucked up. You don't quite a bad job, you quit a bad boss...

I received a phone call from a rival company asking for a character reference for one of my staff. The employee in question is the worst in my team. Incompetent, always late, and not the nicest of people. So of course I gave the most glowing reference I've ever given.

@fesshole What choices did Harry make that put him.out then? Bit low to name and shame though.

There are so many candidates who meet the basic technical competence for our company that I ask them to list their favorite movies and reject ones I dislike, like Harry Potter. Company still gets new hires and I get coworkers I can get along with.

@edwinhayward The answer is 42

One issue with AI that run autonomously for longer and longer in an attempt to solve harder and harder problems is that you have to wait longer and longer to find out if they succeeded or not. Imagine that you give an advanced AI a super hard task that makes it devote a week (real time) of 24/7 work to deliver the result, but that it got lost along the way to the solution. Might be because you fed it the wrong starting conditions, or failed to upload a crucial piece of data, or any one of a thousand other reasons. You then have to rerun the task and wait another week to see if it worked. What does that remind you of? If you're old enough, you might be shouting "punched card programming". (Note: I'm not quite old enough to have had this experience first-hand, but I've had a several fascinating chats with people who explained how frustrating it was to hand over their punched cards to a central "computing office" for them to be run on the precious limited-time mainframe, only to get them back days later with a note saying that the compilation run had failed.)

@anon_opin Order a deliveroo from the car park..

The whole point of a fast-food restaurant is that I should be able to get my food within a few minutes of ordering. This has become a thing of the past, thanks to the fifty Deliveroo men that haunt every single restaurant, and always get priority over the customers in store.
