Not a new thing. "a 2024 study by researchers at Clemson University has estimated that 4% of content relating to independence were linked to one Iranian-backed bot network of around 80 accounts." Speaking as a Scot, I would expect

As a Scot, I would assume it's an attack on the UK by supporting attempts to break up the UK. That seems credible. Who's behind it, is speculative.

I put the top 250 lines from my unwieldy todo.txt into an AI and asked for advice, and I could jump for joy with the simplified list of priorities it generated. I think this could become my daily habit.

The best thing in their favour is how standardized and simple a wind turbine tower is. They know the requirements and their customers. It's much easier than a skyscraper, and it might let them start to scale production of the materials

"Steel is very strong per volume, so steel is a good choice when strength per volume is one of the main constraints. However, wind turbine towers are essentially empty inside so there is room to increase the volume by making the walls

Cynical theory, the UK is now full of the descendants of all those who said "Emigrating? That will never work", and that's set the culture. Grafters and optimists have had many opportunities to leave over recent centuries.

Writing things down to remember them, you feel like you've dealt with it. Which can be a great help since you can empty your brain of distractions that pop up and do so in a way you feel you've not just forgotten something. And re

I've tried apps for tracking habits, which was great as it freed up Todo lists and Todo apps from lots of daily habit type tasks, however I stopped looking at it after maybe a year or more of useful use. Possibly I added too many thing
