I never learn with 9/11 truthers and Holocaust deniers on YouTube. They draw me in every time.

A Linkedin recruiter just tried to headhunt me for a vacancy in my own office

Not a huge fan of bureaucrats picking standards but USB-C is sensible, it's proved the most reliable.

Someone was tooting yesterday about School buy-in with tech and no clue how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Not one joke about it not being built in a day. Honestly.

Metallica smashing out Master of Puppets in typically awful Manchester weather is metal as hell.

Got caught out by some of firewalld's weirdness earlier. Including a CIDR range in any zone excludes it from 'public', because those zones get processed first...pays to read the lower level rules aways (NFT in this case, bleeee)

And the windows are big.

The ERJs were supposed to come in 2006 but we didn't see them until the following year. Flew on them a couple of times down to Malaga, they were very nice. 2+2 seating which seems so civilized compared to the sardine can of most low-cost carriers. Embraer came up with some special configurations to allow them to fit into Southampton's fairly small runway.

The 146 used to wake me at 7am most mornings on the way to Malaga. The flap made this very distinctive whistle, like a loud moan when it retracted, caused by the air rushing between the slots.

Back in England Southampton was my home airport. It's really quite small. For the longest time FlyBe ran these BAE-146 'jumbolinos' that were pretty quiet (for their time...) but they were inefficient by the time of this photo in 2006. That year they'd be replaced with the much bigger Embraer 190.

Basically if you're not famous or wealthy, FB and YouTube just throw you in with the shitmunchers.

Interesting how class systems get recreated everywhere.

Delaware Bay, Cape May NJ, 2014. I do miss the ocean. Something about it on a warm evening with the sea breeze running over you. #photography

The locomotive shop at Juniata, Pennsylvania. This massive facility stretches through most of downtown Altoona, and does all the rebuilds and conversions for Norfolk Southern's fleet.

It is not fucking cool to work people to breaking point.

When I see the huge disrespect of work and labour from the management class, it makes me hugely sympathetic to the works of Marx. It is a massive problem in the West.
