As suggested listening following RATM, may I suggest American Idiot by Green Day. You may find similar themes in that album.

What’s with the agism? Old geezers like me find a day’s work incredibly stressful!

The depth of climate crisis denial is depressing. We should be cutting drastically down on flying. We should be cutting drastically down on miles driven in cars. Nope, none of that.

I think this is a great idea! Perhaps he could move his whole company, its beers and himself in the process.

There is quite a bit more than just the cooling system in the picture. Coax cables take control signals from room temperature to the quantum processor and readout signals back. The signal paths include attenuation, filtering and amplification in various stages. The processor itself is in a magnetic shield, which is the grey cylinder at the bottom.

I’m in no way suggesting anything, nor encouraging or endorsing any particular course of action, but I do note that when things are securely tied to or wrapped in a heavy object with negative buoyancy, they do sink rather fast to the bottom of the sea and stay there. Examples of such things include battleship chains and concrete boots.

I did not have this particular one in my “Nigel does or says stupid shit” bingo card.

It really is a genuine question. I want to understand some logic, anything at all, that compels Russia to behave the way they are.

I’m far beyond trying to convince anybody and way too old to care what people say. Occasionally, and seemingly today is one of those occasions, I quite like to call out idiots. It is a small pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless.

Quite how you concluded that my post was an excuse to post a link to BBC is beyond my admittedly limited comprehension. The logic that took you to that conclusion is intriguing, so please do explain.

You further imply that BBC is an iffy source. For me, that is a devastating perspective. Would you kindly help me find sources that are less iffy, please?

Should this be classified as a crime agains humanity?

A lot of electrons have been inconvenienced just by this thread.

Sort of deploying the Royal Navy to sink every small boat they can find in the channel, I’m struggling to see how he would stop the boats (tm) in weeks.

What is it with old people these days? Just lazing about and sipping lattes, probably.

‘Operation Early Dawn’ - who comes up with the names? I’m cringing so hard my cheeks hurt!

he had entered the city centre to collect a takeaway

That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.

Makes me wonder, is either of them interested in cyber security?

The coming weekend will tell us whether the edge is gone.

This happens easily for big successful organisations. Over decades a strong culture aligned with how they succeed forms. Once the market changes requiring a culture change, a seemingly invincible company suddenly stumbles. They simply can’t respond even if they what they should change.

Ex. Rolls Royce CEO stated this phenomenon well: culture eats strategy for breakfast.
