Power outage across Portugal today except for that huge ball of fusion in the sky. Our room has a dodgy fuse box, so we thought it was just that, but when we went down to report it they said it was everywhere. No Internet or mobile signal to speak of, but we're on the top floor and from our balcony we can get a bit of Edge 2.5G data. Difficult to find any info or news due to lack of Internet or TV.

Found this 20+ish year old relic in mint/unused condition in the cupboard. I was about to throw it in the trash then remembered I wish I hadn't trashed all my other ancient computers.... but this is junk, right?
Remember when twitter reset the @potus account followers when Biden took over? Bet Elno doesn't do that in Jan when Donald takes over.

Does Trump even realise that Elno tricked him into naming the "Department of Government Efficiency" ?

And how is it "efficient" to need TWO bosses?

Surely there are Emoluments rules to prevent Elno from benefitting himself or his companies? Right? Right?

As a remote worker I got bored of seeing one sided discussions that don't understand any benefits of return-to-office, so I wrote a thing. https://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2024/09/the-rto-conspiracy.html
The (lack of a) return-to-office conspiracy

During COVID companies suddenly found themselves able to offer remote working where it hadn’t previously been on offer. That’s changed over the past 2 or so years, with most places I’m aware of moving back from a fully remote situation to either some sort of hybrid, or even full time office attendance. For example last week Amazon announced a full return to office, having already pulled remote-hired workers in for 3 days a week.
