National Intelligence! Oxymoron shenanigans, I’ve called it.

perhaps sir may be interested to try the cokagrys, https://britishfoodhistory.com/2018/08/10/favourite-cook-books-no-3-the-forme-of-cury-part-i/

the cokagrys, a half-pig, half-cock creation

I’m hoping that’s half pig, half male chicken

I really want to love Inkscape and use it as my default svg tool. But as a very occasional user, am perplexed by the icon menu system. Is there a way to change the UI to display long name toolbars and replace all the icons? I’ve tried and failed a number of times. Thanks in advance for any help.

There’s this fella that owns a golf course in Scotland. Just recently he was one inch away from being available. People say he’d be the best cadaver. I think he’s the best candidate for it.

My wife is a doctor, and dragged me to her proctologist friend for inspection. Midway through, my wife waltzed in, and they had a lovely chat about their CEO’s BBQ the previous weekend, all the while he was wrist deep in. On the journey home, i requested that next time, one intrusion is the most i can manage at any one time. She considered me an antisocial whinger. Medical people are really weird.

As someone heading into retirement, after a long career in corporate and governmental stuff, my advice to the young man is to take the money. 250k will put a roof over his head for life, and the humiliation will be far less than the grinding, soul destroying, principle compromising reality of being a suit. If someone wants to pay you good money to look at your cock, they’ve got the problem, not you, take their money!

some years back I was the ‘Head’ of systems stuff at a national telco that provided the national telco infra. Part of my job was to manage the national systems upgrades. I had the stop/go decision to deploy, and indeed pushed the ‘enter’ button to do it. I was a complete PowerPoint Manager and had no clue what I was doing, it was total Accidental Empires, and I should not have been there. Luckily I got away with it for a few years. It was horrifically stressful and not the way to mitigate national risk. I feel for the CrowdStrike engineers. I wonder if the latest embargo on Russian oil sales is in anyway connected?
