The lady is not for turning...off. I expect mecha-thatcher will go on to at least December when the titanic frees itself from a general election ..and still sinks anyway as Kami-Kwasi and the haunted pencil crew row for safety.
Over here, we have parts of our country having earthquakes purely because of getting gas, for the last so many years.
Our politicians here have belittle the home owners in those regions for years, and the government is still not planning to reimburse them for the earthquake damages.
So if you are living close to a fracking area, sell your home before the earthquakes happen (might not be for the first couple of years tho).
There's literally no chance of seeing nuclear fusion in the UK by 2040 unless the Russians deliver it by ICBM.
If we could just use the hot air coming from Reece-Mogg's rear end to power a turbine we wouldn't have an energy crisis.
M.A.D. or what? Anyone got factor 5 million sun tan lotion? One step beyond....
Well, I don't want to talk about that, it's weighing heavily enough on everyone. My rant is food quality these days. You buys your fruit like plums etc. Rock hard. 1 week later..rock hard. Common' you beauties! Next day soft and going rotten..and tasteless anyway. I dunno if it's just me but just about everything I eat is bland. Gotta herb and spice my way to taste..still not working, can't shake the blandness. The taters are crap. As a potato connesewer I am really annoyed about that. Carrots are uncarrotlike Picled beetroot isn't hardly pickled. It's all just bland. I do nip to M&S when possible for a higher class of bland, but even that's went downhill faster than Ketil Aamodt. I can't afford Fortnum and Mason. I can't seem to get decent grub anywhere. Sick of it. It's like gruel they've created in some lab. Where will it end. Come come nuklear war.

Ah, a shop full of tele's showing your favourite shows. Hard to imagine some people use to catch up with the news by looking through the window. Of course, we don't have enough energy to do something so decadent these days.
Ok not a rant, but I just watched this video...and found it extremely entertaining...
These absolute uneducated little cretins are the people who scream, and yell at most people not of their generation that we're wrong, we need to make changes, we know nothing, we're stupid, and we need to show them respect...OK they can keep telling themselves that! If this is the caliber of modern youth today, we really are f*cked! :))
I know this is a video of cherry picked moments, and not every Zoomer is a moron, but seriously one would not expect the modern youth to be so stupid, and they're the ones screaming that they're the ones educating us! Hilarity at its finest!
After watching that I'm going to start "self identifying" as a Morlok, and harvest these little mongs as a food source :))
I suspected it might be Fleccas Talks as soon as I saw the thumbnail. It's not Fleccas doing the interviews, though, it's Justin Awad. He's got a whole channel full of these, and he seems to delight in how wrong the kids can be.
"How many states are there in the USA?"
"I, like, totally don't know, like, 37?"
"YES." (just as if it was Yes Chad saying it...)
After watching that I'm going to start "self identifying" as a Morlok, and harvest these little mongs as a food source :))
If you want to hunt Eloi, move to Portland, and gorge yourself on the fat of the land. Don't move to TEXAS, or you'll starve and have to go back to Big Macs and high fructose corn syrup.
Important note: Austin is not TEXAS, despite being the state capital.

Well, I'm madder than a sack loads of rats who have not eaten in 3 days and have got their tails in knots creating a 9 rat rat king ..over what I just read today. It turns out as of 1st of October UK government announced they would be collecting smart meter data when they vehemently denied such a thing would ever happen. What they want to do with that data is anyone's guess. However given the number of countries lately that have put out decrees about limiting one's thermo to 19C..one might think that's coming soon. I don't even have a smart meter, but if I had, I'd be more furious than a 9 team rat king that's just been especially infuriated.
Also, they are talking about banning the words 'globalist, globalism' etc on social media as it's ...anti semitic?

What they want to do with it? Giving them to Russia. Not directly of course, but the spies will find the information. So that they can send their rockets more efficiently to places where the most power is used. Because obviously the people with the most power usage are now only the very rich who can still afford spending money to heat up their jacuzzi, their yachts and the unused villas. So it's a very nice map to find out where to target.
And it's a good information source for all of us, once that info get leaked within the next 5 years.
I have had a few goes at good ones, but they just don't do anything for me. My wife and my late son especially loved to play games of all sorts but the only kind that get me interested are the simple ones such as the Spectrum can play. Ladders and levels kind of thing.
I think the disappointment began with the original MYST which left me disappointed that all the beautiful scenery should be so pointless! Who in their right mind would ever behave the way these games expect you to react?
In fact I was going to make a game using my Next with the help of my son before he died of liver failure and I still have tons of the scripting and pictures that I had hoped the Next would be able to handle thanks to its memory and speed improvements.
Daniel and I often had fierce friendly arguments over the assumptions of game creators and my wish was to create a game that would only reward ethical behaviour and punish dishonest or unethical behaviour.
I told him that I want a game that is like reading a childrens adventure story (EG: Swallows and Amazons) where the player can simply explore the settings but they contain the potential for rewarding curiousity and intelligence.
So. for example, you the player might come across a sail boat that was yours to use if you wanted but you'd better be ready to learn how to sail or else get soaked (not drowned because an old sailor advises you to wear a life jacket when you ask if its okay to borrow his boat)
Of course it would be impossible to cram all this into one program but I intended to seralize it and make it available on a step by step basis.
Much as it's something of a jarring dose of reality hearing about your son (and my grandparents had to go through the same experience), I can at least add this...

I'd say it was entirely possible to put such measures into a text adventure.
And, I can think of an example of such a game, or at least, a part of it: Final Fantasy IV Advance. I'm playing my way through the sort-of-original (well, original American renamed) SNES version, which doesn't have this extension, but the GBA Advance version contains trials for each of the characters once the main game has been beaten. Cecil's Trial tests whether or not he is a true Paladin; he is presented with six situations in which to make a moral decision and must make the correct choice, e.g. he is asked to guard a chest that we are told contains a valuable item; open the chest to fail the trial, or sit there doing nothing for five minutes until its owner returns to pass.
Thanks TMD I thought so too except that it must also include illustrations which support the text and might contain hot spots to reward the player who won't be told to expect them.
Its beyond my skills to program this, it relied upon Daniels brilliant computer skills but I was having an uphill struggle getting him to work with a Spectrum as he was a C64 loyalist, well father and son, it figures!
Complete opposite of a rant, but I know there's probably a few coming....Elon Musk buying Twitter.....Comedy gold! Walked into twitter HQ carrying a sink, and literally said "Let this sink in".....Fired the top brass and literally said "The bird is free". Hate him all you like, but the guy is a twisted genius :))
He may be a moon-faced stoner loon but he is quite amusing (except if you are that guy who rescued those kids from the cave! - who he accused of being a pedo). He's also changed his Twitter profile pic to him holding the sink.
At least he's not as mad as the Danish submarine guy (Into the Deep is a documentary about him - worth a watch).

Protestors were playing really loud Benny Hill theme music as they all entered the conf. Thought that was fitting.

Although I do like the other joke - if a tree falls over in the forest, and there is no woman around to hear it, is a man still wrong?

I'm not sure what to make of Elon and what his game is., so that's rare praise from me. I don't believe in a people's bllionaire though.
As "Man-hating Muriel" in our office used to say, "If they can send one man to the moon, why can't they send all of them!".
She didn't really hate men though she was a laugh was our Muriel ;)
He may be the second coming.
