Two observations:
- WiFi is notably slower over the German border
- Cloud storage and working in the cloud is a pain.

#TGIQF: „Das Leben des Brian“ — Das Quiz rund zu Monty Pythons Filmklassiker
Die Komödie "Das Leben des Brian" sorgte 1979 für reichlich Gelächter und kirchliche Pikiertheit. Wir würdigen den Monty-Python-Klassiker mit einem Quiz.

Art from 'Aliens: Reapers' from 1991. This was a short 8 page no dialog comic story by John Arcudi and illustrated by Simon Bisley about 'Reapers' - an alien race that infiltrate Xenomorph hives to eat their eggs. My kinda alien race. 🍳

[…] and I opened the case (politely examined by the guards of the Palace at four stages of my approach to the Red Hall) that held my ansible and some pictures. The pictures—films, photos, paintings, actives, and some cubes—were a little gallery of Man: people of Hain, Chiffewar, and the Cetians, of S and Terra and Alterra, of the Utter-mosts, Kapteyn, Ollul, Four-Taurus, Rokanan, Ensbo, Cime, Gde and Sheashel Haven … The king glanced at a couple without interest. “What’s this?”
“A person from Cime, a female.” I had to use the word that Gethenians would apply only to a person in the culminant phase of kemmer [a cyclical period of heightened sexual activity during which secondary gender characteristics emerge], the alternative being their word for a female animal.
“Permanently?”
“Yes.”
He dropped the cube and stood swinging from foot to foot, staring at me or a little past me, the firelight shifting on his face. “They’re all like that—like you?”
This was the hurdle I could not lower for them. They must, in the end, learn to take it in their stride.
“Yes. Gethenian sexual physiology, so far as we yet know, is unique among human beings.”
“So all of them, out on these other planets, are in permanent kemmer? A society of perverts? So Lord Tibe put it; I thought he was joking. Well, it may be the fact, but it’s a disgusting idea, Mr. Ai, and I don’t see why human beings here on earth should want or tolerate any dealings with creatures so monstrously different. […]”

“Teachers who use AI ‘will replace those who don’t’, the chair of the Oireachtas committee on artificial intelligence has warned.
Fianna Fšil TD Malcolm Byrne said he was worried Ireland was at risk of falling behind in discussions around how AI can be ‘responsibly integrated into our formal education system.’”
Fianna Fšil TD Malcolm Byrne is a fool who doesn’t have the first clue about what he’s taking about.
