Years ago around Swanage and the surrounding areas there was low humming, I’m thinking early 2000’s. It was speculated it was caused by oil drilling in the nearby area but nothing was ever confirmed. I seem to remember it popped up now and then in local newspapers. But again, nothing confirmed.

BP were operating in the local area at the time…

Slightly unrelated but the same speculated site, now operated be Perenco, had an oil leak quite recently into Poole harbour. I don’t know if that was fixed fast but the news came and went very quicky. Nobody talks about it now. Perhaps it wasn’t as bad as it was first thought. I don’t know.

Flashing lights. I have to try that now.

Years ago me and my sister walked through our newly built town centre together. They had installed bright white stone on the ground and both of us couldn’t stop sneezing (sunny day, stone reflects sun back up). It’s not as shiny now it’s not new but I hate walking through that area to this day.

Same for me. If I feel a sneeze coming on I look at a bright light to hurry it up. I thought this was normal but appetite isn’t.

Sometimes I see something weird which I can’t figure out what it is. Click on it or if curiosity. I then get more weird stuff shown to me there after. It takes over.

At the moment it’s t-shirts which have Jesus on wrestling satan. Could be worse I guess. “Not today satan”

Years ago my wife did an online course, I forget which one, it might have been open university (UK). She worked full-time with a fair salary and studied a few hours each week in the evening. She got a student discount card. The requirements seem (or did, perhaps it’s changed now) quite low.

And at the end you get a list of statistics. Slept X days, X hours on the toilet, could have reached level 60 if only you went for job B. Spent X hours masterbating. Killed 2 people without you or anybody else even realising. Used X KG of plastic.

Ha yes my thinking too. I posted a reply further up about a movie idea, a bit like the matrix combined with total recall. Not much action though, just mind bending thoughts about what is reality once you’ve exited the simulation. Second guessing everything. More of a depressing firm perhaps.

Must be a messy event!

People can’t do this?

I’ve been using one of the hottest sauces I’ve had in a long time. It’s called Satan Revenge made with ghost peppers. I’m in so much pain when and after eating it. It’s good stuff.

I tried explaining this to a friend who was convinced masks do nothing. He would say stuff like “if it can still get through then what’s the point”. He claimed only people at risk should wear them.

The pink oboe.

Perhaps the worms represent the average person, the sticks represent the media and the hands are those of politicians.

They’re not. They’re CIA robots.

Sea Gulls don’t have hands and can’t use sticks like that.

Sea Gulls do this but with their feet and not sticks. The worms think it’s raining from the sound and come up to the surface to get eaten.

Were talking about somebody using their own personal email for work purposes. There’s absolutely no assurances on encryption their using. It’s a bigger risk than WhatsApp, although I again should say I agree WhatsApp shouldn’t be used either. Both options aren’t good but for slightly different reasons, in my opinion anyway.

Yeah totally agree. WhatsApp shouldn’t be used by government.

Email can be secure both sides, one side or neither. You can’t rely on it being secure.

Not disagreeing, they shouldn’t use WhatsApp at all, but email is way less secure. Emails are easier to “hack” and if I remember right they were stored on her personal server so she personally keeps the data, a bit like how Trump was found with government documents in his personal belongings. WhatsApp is encrypted end to end and presumably (I hope) are used on gov work phones.

For me it’s more about the lack of controls on accessing and retaining data used in WhatsApp. It’s not stored on a central government system.

I don’t know if the gov have an official messaging app. But hearing all this in the news really sounds like people in gov are intentionally using WhatsApp as a means to keep conversations secret. Like everything else with this government, it stinks.

Oh nice. I have a Mario Bros game watch. Think it’s from 86 or something like that.
