Leszek KarlikI'm re-reading Neptune's Brood by @cstross and this quote hits a bit harder nowadays than when it was written in 2013, in the era before the slop engines:
"As I said, these things bore only a thin veneer of intelligence: Once you crack the ice and tumble into the howling void of thoughtlessness beneath, the illusion ceases to be comforting and becomes a major source of irritation. (Which is why I prefer my tools to be less conversational and more functional; there is less scope for self-deception if your spreadsheet is too dumb to massage the figures until they show you something pleasing rather than that which is actually there.)"

Geoff 🏴Northern Highland #Scotland folk: if you live near a beach it could be worth looking for fulgerite tomorrow, patches of sand that have been hit by lightning. If you (very gently, they're fragile!) dig down you may find a branch-like structure where the lightning fused the sand into a kind of glass. Rare, special thing to find.

Ed Davies@mactunag Yep. But we up this end of the island can have a legitimate moan that we're surrounded by wind farms but pay the highest electricity prices in the UK, even when there's a bit of a breeze.
A cynical person might suspect that the UK government refuses to do regional pricing because it would increase electricity prices for people in England who are likely to vote Labour or Tory but decrease them here where people vote LibDem or SNP.
Also, that lower electricity prices up this way might attract some energy-intensive business here and away from England. Perhaps. And perhaps similarly for Wales.
I'm sure any such suspicions would be totally unfair, of course.
Bella CaledoniaWe are investing in an audio platform to share our content: podcasts, playlists and interviews.
Does anyone have any preferences or suggestions?
We want something that's shareable, not too expensive. Not sure if one place will do all the jobs?
Bandcamp? Soundcloud? Mixcloud? Spotify?
Any thoughts?

Up until the 1880's, borders only stopped armies. It was where you paid customs.
Passports are an invention of WWI.
From the 1880s to WWI they checked people, but it was mainly* health checks and legals (including ethnic quotas). "We don't let people with your disease in".
Update: apparently it started in the 1880s, not 90s. Have updated text.
* history get filtered, commentary is that the health was the main reason for rejection
