@JokesWithMark I realise your podcast isn’t “non-comedians send in their attempts at jokes”, but this came into my head while listening to an episode …
I thought I had a joke about an off-peak train, but I couldn’t get it to work.

It’s easy to underestimate the difference in magnitude between numbers in millions and billions, but this is like being fired from a £40k/year job, then learning that you’ll get up to a pound every year for your birthday.

I thought this was a parody account. It’s not! It’s the Governments trade minister proudly announcing its latest deal “could be worth up to £1 million over five years” We’ve just heard Brexit is costing the Government £40bn a year in lost tax revenue! Heaven help us!

The championing of the NHS to win Brexit, by people who knew they were going to dismantle the NHS is fraud to the level of criminality. And I am sure those buses convinced (at least) 500,000 to vote Leave which is, as it turned out, all they needed. Sickening.

@jobsworth @dgwbirch I guess there could be privacy issues if everyone had a single, trivially cross-referencable identifier for everything.

Last week I learnt that I have an NHS MRN, in addition to my NHS number and my “hospital number” and my NI number. I’m choosing not to think about my passport number and my tax reference number at this particular point in time. Why do people do this? Cc @dgwbirch

I know it’s a bit late now we’ve all mostly left for Mastodon, but just use a third party client (Tweetdeck etc). No algorithm; no promoted tweets; no trends; no ads.

@jasongorman Or (assuming git) put it in .git/hooks.pre-commit (git will have created a sample file in that directory for you to start from).

Seems an odd reason. Normally people strike over pay or conditions.

Misleading, as it presumably includes lots of people like me who now primarily post on Mastodon, but follow people who are still here too.
Quite Interesting@qikipedia
98.4% of Twitter users who announced they were moving to Mastodon are still on Twitter.

@CheerfulPodcast @Ed_Miliband @GeoffLloyd @carysroberts @IPPR @TorstenBell @resfoundation I was slightly surprised by the way the desirability of never-ending economic growth seemed to be tacitly assumed in this discussion. What happened to the doughnut?

How bad is the British economic situation?👀
🚨Spoiler alert🚨it’s pretty awful.
@Ed_Miliband & @GeoffLloyd talk to @carysroberts @IPPR & @TorstenBell @resfoundation about how we got here and some of the solutions for a better future.

@pentacent_hq @elixirlang At first sight that looked surprising, but then I realised I match on struct names like “%Date{} = var” all the time, which is basically the same.

If whether I tell you is a boolean then it can’t be both true and false. Unless it’s one of those database booleans that can be null too.
