Self-taught software engineer that still has much left to learn. Circuit & code tinkerer, builder of yet-another overengineered solution, LED strip fanatic, father of 2 cats, linguaphile and armchair linguist. LGBTQ+ ally - still learning how to be a better ally while unlearning all the insensitive stuff I picked up growing up in a noninclusive community.

English is my mother tongue but might toot in Estonian on occasion (veaparandused on alati teretulnud). Currently studying Swedish, so might toot something på svenska now & again.

Paul O'Grady died a year ago.
It's 1987. The Metropolitan Police are waging an intimidation campaign against London's LBTQ+ community.
Wearing rubber gloves to "protect from AIDS" they raid the Royal Vauxhall Tavern
"Well well," says Lily Savage (Paul O'Grady) from the stage as the police pile into the venue. "It looks like we’ve got help with the washing up"
The raid was one of a number carried out by the police, using obscure laws as justification for their intimidation.
In this instance, the excuse was "reports of drunkenness on premises"
With Lily continuing to mock the police, she was handcuffed and arrested with others.
Paul refused to drop his alter ego for the entire duration events.
When she was booked in, and ordered to give her name the answer was "Lily Savage".
When a REAL name was demanded, the reply was:
"Lily Veronica Mae Savage"
On release, Lily was back on stage the next night.

If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

I also have to point out that the most expensive space telescope (JWST) cost about $500 million/year. We spent 1000x that much on AI development in 2025.

Data collection is essential for discovery...and it's remarkably cheap compared to many other things we do routinely.
