Shame climate change has rendered it about as useful as looking out the window at predicting the weather.

Isn't that the joke?

Ok fair enough, just thought it was strangely straight for an "I'm ok folks" wave.

Anyone notice the salute Trump gave mere seconds after the shooting?

He swiftly turned it into a wave/fist and weirdly brought up that it was definitely a fist during his last speech.

Me: Here's the URL for the web service I've just deployed. I've set up users and permissions so just copy it into your browser and you should see a very similar system to what you've been trained on with all your data in there.

Customer: All I'm getting is a blank screen.

Much panicking and headscratching later...

Me: Waaaiiiiittt, did you press Return/Go after copying the URL?

Customer: That was not in the instructions.

Good to see the left/centre rallying when it mattered most need to reject fascism again.

From an outside perspective this seemed like quite a shrewd political move by Macron for once. Is that a fair assessment?

I was going to say "Planet Earth" but yes you are correct.

The scientific method itself considers any as yet unsubstantiated theory as hypothesis. Applying this to the idea of God would leave one agnostic on the issue.

A couple of prominent examples of religious dogmas disproved by scientific discoveries are the Copernican Revolution and evolution by means of natural selection.

So apparently I have a similar contorted expression to my mother when eating sour food.

My father always referred to this as my mother's-maiden-name-gene. Let's say her maiden name was Chaplin, he would say "Ah there's that Chaplin gene again!"

Being young I misunderstood this as a verb, ie. I was "chaplinging".

Cut to first year of school where I proudly waltz around informing any classmates eating fizzy sweets that the correct and proper term for their reaction is "chaplinging". It was a few years until the penny dropped.

I have somewhat of a pet extension to projection theory... Many people who are anti-gay think that it is a choice as they themselves have made that choice. ie. They are repressed bisexual/gay.

Completely unsubstantiated with no evidence but I find it fun to think about as it would explain their complete misunderstanding of it not being a choice. "I made the tough choice and am living with it, why can't they?!"
