Okay, guys: this wonderful fan-made series I've been following for years is complete now. It has witty writing, some of my fave Twelfth episodes (including the TV series), great acting, and wonderful arcs for the characters. Lots of references and Easter eggs for die-hard fans too.
Give it a go if you haven't already!!

Ancora sul caso #Romania. Far emergere il problema della mancanza di una sfera pubblica non proprietaria in un paese corrotto solo quando vince il candidato "sbagliato" suggerisce che la questione che sta a cuore non sia il pluralismo della sfera pubblica, ma la vittoria del candidato "sbagliato".

Aziende che legiferano: X aiuta ad aggiornare il Kids Online Safety Act nella spinta finale per l'approvazione alla Camera guidata dai repubblicani

Sembra che gli sponsor scommettano sul fatto che il sostegno di Elon Musk potrebbe far pendere la bilancia verso il traguardo

"Guidati da X, i nuovi cambiamenti apportati al Kids Online Safety Act rafforzano il disegno di legge, salvaguardando al contempo la libertà di parola online e assicurando che non venga utilizzata per soffocare l'espressione", hanno affermato i senatori repubblicani Blumenthal e Blackburn in una dichiarazione congiunta

Sono stati chiusi i canali tv dell’università telematica Unicusano, per via di un’indagine per evasione fiscale


Da venerdì alle 14 non sono più visibili Cusano Italia TV e Cusano News 7, i due canali televisivi dell’università telematica Niccolò Cusano, anche nota come Unicusano, il cui amministratore delegato è il sindaco di Terni Stefano Bandecchi. La chiusura dei due canali è stata decisa nell’ambito dell’indagine che la procura di Roma sta portando avanti contro l’ateneo con accuse di evasione fiscale: tra gli indagati ci sono lo stesso Bandecchi e l’ex rettore di Unicusano Giovanni Puoti. Cusano Italia TV e Cusano News 7 erano visibili finora sui canali 122 e 234 del digitale terrestre: l’università ha commentato la loro chiusura dicendo che comporterà la perdita del posto di lavoro per 250 persone. Resterà invece attiva l’emittente radiofonica Radio Cusano Campus.

I'd never seen the 2009 film Nativity.
It was on the BBC last week so we caught up with it on Friday.

I really enjoyed it, the songs were catchy. It was young and predictable and all the rest of it, but the audio-description was my preferred type, less being more and with well-timed updates avoiding cutting through any unheard song lyrics.
Old now, but one to enjoy over the festive period.

The poster for "Nativity!" displays a lively ensemble of characters in colorful costumes, making expressive faces and dynamic poses. They are set against a cream backdrop with golden stars scattered throughout. Above them are the phrases "A fabulous five-star festive family treat!" and "THIS CHRISTMAS IT'S MAYHEM IN BETHLEHEM". The title "Nativity!" appears in large brown letters at the bottom. "A Debbie Isitt film" With Martin Freeman, Marc Wootton, Jason Watkins, Ashley Jensen, and Alan Carr as the Critic.

#Dnes3DTisknu rozkvétací lampu pro @Onqa6 a zatím se úplně nedaří. Postavec je v pohodě, ale květ je dost jemný a vysoký, takže se špičky listů při tisku trochu ohýbají a na výsledku je to bohužel vidět. Ještě jsem lehce změnil parametry na poslední pokus a uvidíme, co to udělá. makerworld.com/en/models/13144…
"Nerozkvetlá" lampa, zlatý válcový podstavec, fialový květ ve tvaru šípkového plodu.
"Rozkvetlá" lampa, střed tvoří mřížka podobná opletení u starých luceren, kolem jsou roztažené listy.

Blossoming Lamp Remixed by Ocular Dynamic

The Blossoming Lamp is an awesome lampshade consisting of 14 interlocking pieces printed at once. Print in place and supportless to boot! When you pull up on the top the flower opens allowing more light out.

My first potential office job was a call centre. Walking around at interview, they were all so proud of the shared space, the open nature, etc etc.
All I thought was how sorry I felt for the people on the other end of the phones fighting through all that background noise, and secondarily worried how I'd find my own spot as a blind person in this massive open space.

1994… Debacle because of the Compuserve GIF format uncertainties regarding Unisys and LZW Patent enforcement… I remember trying to understand in Web agencies if we should convert our GIFs to JPEG.

That led in fine to the creation of PNG at W3C in 1996.

Just to add to the injustice of locking up Just Stop Oil protesters now one of them is being recalled to prison because despite being eligible to serve her sentence while be monitored, the private company is unable to provide a suitable electronic tag.... & have notified authorities that she needs to be rearrested.

It is a case study in disproportionate 'justice' & reflects badly on all those who've not agreed a doorstep probation that was fine on remand!
