My fifth grade teacher would be appalled, make me stand in the corner, and she’d think about bringing out the board of education for my poor spelling. Today I’d probably get a participation star
2500 mm/minute = 5952766.3 barleycorns per fortnight
5.95 megabarleycorns (mbc)
This was all triggered about a units discussion in a forum elsewhere (it’s the Internet, nobody stays on topic) about cups, oz, tbs, and tsp and what 2/3 of a cup was. Base 60, or if we’d had 8 (on each hand would have been handy) or 12 fingers, would have been a lot better, and maybe these metric guys would have learned about fractions. I thought I’d try converting speeds into cush

We are de-sheeped and our current dogs are pound foundlings. One would want to follow directions but get confused, the nearly 16 year old little dog would ignore on principle when he managed to hear it. Not sure if that’s selective hearing or he really is going deaf, but he definitely has small dog syndrome and believes that he runs everything

How would you get the sensation through all that wool? And keep the apparatus on through jailbreaks and ‘grass is greener’ head through fence adventures?

High voltage, low current, with good straps. The HV gets their attention, the short duration low current pulses keep them from turning into crispy critters and lets them survive the encounter. From personal experience it’s like being smacked hard with a 2x4 clue stick
We used made in New Zealand fence chargers, they understand how to control sheep.

Another UK city effectively declares bankruptcy — RT Business News
"The UK city of Nottingham, home to folklore legend Robin Hood and birthplace of iconic designer Sir Paul Smith, effectively declared itself bankrupt on Wednesday.
In a statement, Nottingham City Council announced it has a huge budget gap and is unable to balance the books for the 2023-24 financial year. The authority issued a section 114 notice, meaning it will shut down all new spending, with the exception of funding for vulnerable groups and for statutory services such as social care and waste collections.
According to earlier reports, Nottingham is headed for a £23 million ($29.1 million) budget overspend this year. The city council said a recent surge in social care demands for children and adults, rising homelessness, and persistently high inflation are putting additional strain on the budget.
However, the authority also has to deal with financial troubles piling up from previous years, such as the collapse of the council-run Robin Hood energy scheme in 2020, which cost taxpayers some £38 million. …"
Emphasis added – just in case the ordinary tax-paying Nottingham citizen wondered where he stood on the rankings.
But maybe this is not the Crazy Years. Maybe this is Reality gradually reasserting itself?

Is Jimmy is researching how to deal with questions from Larry Sanger about censorship on Wikipedia when it launches its own chatbot?
It’s ironic that Wikipedia uses a “We’re not for sale!” argument in its pleas for donations. Yeah, because no one could outbid the leftists that own you, Wikipedia!
