Ok AWS friends, 50% of their security products have to go. Which ones get the axe, and why?

It’s been a long while since my last visit to Wagamama, but I remember the katsu curry sauce being darker, richer, and more interesting, as though it was made from actual ingredients. Today’s order was gluey, yellow, and looked like it might have come from a packet. Am I remembering correctly?

This was the Megazone in Morecambe, where I spent many a Saturday as a teenager, in part because they’d illegally sell us beer between games. It is rumoured that the kind of lasers they were using here were called “insurance claim motivated arson”.

I’m not sure Thomas Cromwell and Henry Tudor are going to be much help in 2025 if I’m honest.

The future is silly. My brother is watching some Lego thing and this error message, with a hefty url, has been sat over the top of the screen for the last three episodes.

"Bikeshedding" is a potentially confusing term, we should discuss possible options for alternative names
