Ah, thanks. I knew it was something like that. I bow to your superior knowledge on 80s sci fi comedies

IIRC it was a character in the movie Spaceballs, and he got into trouble for using the name

Although that photo looks like the old days, when he was Lord Buckethead. He had to change the name for copyright reasons

Never read anything into a one-off result. You need to see how you get on over multiple occasions to have any idea if there's a pattern. Keep going! (Because by the time you've got more data points, you'll also be fitter 😉)

I got some of those Chipolo trackers shown in the photo. So far I'm pretty disappointed. Based on the locations being reported, I'm pretty sure my phone is the only one in my city working on the Find my Device system, and even that is intermittent. For example, I've left my bike, which has a Chipolo tracker hidden on it, in public places such as a busy train station. After two days on the station platform - with goodness knows how many Android phones passing by - the bike is still showing as being at home in my garage. Like, it didn't even get logged on my own phone as I cycled to the station and left the bike and tracker there. The system really isn't up to speed yet

Aren't there significant challenges with storing the smallest molecules in the universe?

Compulsory voting feels like a way to make us complicit in false choices. It's like saying "Here, you can have shit or shit" then saying "Why don't you like your shit? You voted for it"

The oil and gas industry isn't short of money. If its workers aren't getting a share of that dirty money, I'm not sure it's entirely the government at fault

"Sunken land and dismal swamps" - what's in that area now?
