30 C isn't all that bad, used to get that back home a lot. Humidity and the smog make it worse, the latter more so.

There's a joke about living through your kids in there somewhere. Plugging along with Divinity 2 and EU4 still, though fire has gone from both so may take a break and shift to something else - maybe this Factorio game my friend is raving about.

Somehow, the people don't care about that

Oyster card is well for that, though some of the gates suck in that they take too long to close so you can tap out, heh. As for what to do when in London : leave. City is too crowded.

Nice and cool here, high of 21 C. Pretty swell summer here, not too hot, though far too many rainy days - even if the rain we do get is always at night otherwise it is fairly light.

Well, is always nice to change architectures. Today am alone on my team so am just riding it out until 1800.

Nice eyes on her though.

Outlook grim for orbiting Russian zero-G sex geckos

Well, not that the other side is completely clean of that (burning Gaza and stoking hatred), IDF isn't a force of nature. Do wonder what the end point of this can be, or for that matter what it will be for this current round of violence.

Amazing how "Why do we do ________ this way?" is a nigh impossible to answer question. Been poring through the company wiki. Though is academic at this point, just to waste time satisfy my curiosity.

Who ? Eastern Ukrainians ? Also, apparently US confirmed that Russian artillery is firing into Ukraine. Though "can't say" what that was based on, obvious reasons for that. http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/07/24/ukraine-crisis-usa-artillery-idINL2N0PZ2AH20140724
