That's a fantastically efficient way to destroy their business. There's no way to get honest reviews of employers from employees who know their identities will be exposed whether they consent or not. Doesn't even matter if the review is after leaving that job, future employers can go nosing too.

Absolute techbro-brane gold.

Southern blot is a neat full circle:

The method is named after the British biologist Edwin Southern, who first published it in 1975.[3] Other blotting methods (i.e., western blot,[4] northern blot, eastern blot, southwestern blot) that employ similar principles, but using RNA or protein, have later been named for compass directions as a sort of pun from Southern's name.

But how does setting his clock back 24 hours mean that 2pm becomes 2am? 12 hours, yes. 24 hours, no?

Conversion is a long process, made considerably easier since Israel came into existence but still not overnight. So no, not tomorrow. But yes, you could probably do it if you were determined enough, or had the right help: How 90 Peruvians became the latest Jewish settlers

These decisions aren't about the cost of care, they're about the interests of the individual and, in this case, not prolonging suffering unnecessarily.

This will be of limited value if they don't also address leasehold restrictions on pets. "No pets" is written into my landlord's lease (and every leasehold contract I've ever seen) so they can't allow us to have a pet even if they wanted to.

This is the UK. We don't do plea bargains. There are sentencing guidelines which include giving credit for an early guilty plea but, in this case, I doubt it will make much difference to whatever sentence he eventually gets.

Because they're going to throw the book at him regardless now.

He may also disagree with the "lawfully detained" bit of the charge, given that he has pleaded not guilty to the original charges he was due to stand trial for. But he doesn't really have anything to lose either way. There are screaming tabloids on the case now, he might as well spin it out.

He's got absolutely no reason to plead guilty. He's not going to get a lighter sentence so he might as well cost them as much as possible by forcing a trial, and extending the news coverage of this embarrassing story.

Not a fan of the guy or his ideology but, from his perspective, this makes perfect sense.

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

  • DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

  • Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K." "What about Kenya?" "Kenya suck deez nuts?"

Google Search is over.
