When you tell your line manager what you've got to work on for the day... and they assume it's going to fill up your entire day. I'm never sure whether to flag their over-estimation of the workload, or ponder if I'm missing something obvious. Then end up doing the "well, should I flag up I've got bugger all work to do unless emergency things pop up in the inbox or just lurk and feel mildly fraudulent?"

Again, probably a fail on the empathy roll but...

I really should feel more empathy and not put this here but.... CarAndDriver - French Fighter Jet Joy Ride Goes Tres, Tres Wrong

I picked up the DVD set back then, because they didn't air all 13 episodes. Think only 11 got shown before it was cancelled.

And just for the historical epic-ness of it:

It's kind of fun to look back on some things, I still think it was a crying shame Threshold never made it beyond those first 13 episodes back in 2005... Carla Gugino as the lead, Brent Spiner as the slightly hippy medical doctor, and Peter Dinklage as a womanising, gambling, mathematician and linguist, Rob Benedict as the nervous astrophysicist, Brian Van Holt as the solider type, and Charles S. Dutton as the gruff government agent type... All wrapped up in something a little bit X-Files, a little bit Fringe, a little bit V...

So is this politics or random weird stuff? Status Kuo - Florida banned almost half its math books from school CNN - Florida bans math books that might have CRT references

Maybe a little more niche...

This is why I post this stuff. For the discussion points that crop up.
