Re: Quote of the week!
One must hand it to the Tories - they are really working flat out to keep us (and the rest of the planet) entertained. Ever since the dour Cameroonians and poor old Teresa, they have massively increased their amusement value (presuming one doesn't rely on such vulgarities as money to maintain any sort of lifestyle).

Re: Quote of the week!
This reminded me of a counterexample. I heard that at one point a certain search engine decided to try a new design and initially it seemed to be performing terribly. Upon closer examination however, they discovered that it was performing so much better that their bot detection algorithm was being triggered and erroneously rejecting the data showing the improvement as spurious. So one must learn to distrust data of all kinds...RockDoctor wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 4:14 pmYou had to learn to reject spurious data - which was a valuable lesson.

Re: Word of the week!
I learnt a new word the other day: resistentialism - the belief that inanimate objects are out to get you.
I have long suspected this to be the case - now I know there's a word for it.

Recently, the party announced that, once in government, it would give atheism charitable status because it is a "non-prophet organisation".
