I'm sitting down, waiting for Scott Manley's analysis video to drop. I'd hope there are valid and sane reasons why they thought it should go ahead, but something like this was so obviously going to happen.

Both. Some households, usually in older buildings, pay 'water rates' based on the size of their property. Others, including all newly built homes, have water meters which report usage back to the company. We pay for supply of clean water as well as transportation and processing of surface water run-off and sewage.

Royal Mail releases Brexit anniversary scratch & sniff stamp that smells of raw sewage.

I get the distinct sense that the government and Bank of England have a different definition for what the economy is than the average Brit.

Who's out there putting hands on the rim of toilet bowls? 'fess up.

I don't get the RCS hype. I already have apps for rich messaging and RCS offers nothing for me over those apps. What I do appreciate is SMS, which is posed to be killed-off by RCS. I can rely on SMS even when there is no data signal, can't say that for RCS. I wish I had a way to permanently disable RCS on my Pixel 6a, instead I have to keep rejecting the 'upgrade to RCS' dialog.

It's this not the kind of scenario the founding fathers foresaw when drafting the second amendment?

Not a big one. In my 20s, asleep in bedroom, girlfriend asleep next to me. I wake up and see dancing, glowing blue filaments, about 20cm long, moving through the bedroom. No sound, bedroom is otherwise completely dark. It was a similar glow to Cherenkov Radiation, but at a much smaller scale, and clearly defined, glowing threads.

Wake girlfriend who grumpily agrees they exist before falling asleep again.

5 minutes later they just stop and I never see them again.

We were the only people in the house, in a room with blackout curtains and with all electrical items turned off at the wall (UK plugs rule).

Still no explanation to this day.

Bwahahahahaaa. No.

I read the whole article, yet in my head it was being narrated by Adam Curtis. Same vibes.

Oh good! We don't have anywhere near enough of those.

Nods of approval from those in the UK who remember Bruce Forsyth.

• Let me tell you something, petaQ. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a disruptor out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, and stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "beep".
• Kahless!
• You said it, loD. Nobody fucks with the Kahless.

A pact to make it easier for billionaires to hide their wealth?

Not strictly canon, but I have fond memories of Apple Trek on the Apple II. Growing up I played Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Klingon Honor Guard. More recently I got the PS3 game based on the Kelvin timeline movies. But my favourite to date has been Star Trek Bridge Crew, I've really enjoyed the immersion of it.
