Cold Comfort Farm has a mimetic footprint wider than its readership. Most people here heard somewhere that "she'd seen something nasty in the woodshed" whether or not they knew who she was. That was about as far as I went....

Commented on The Rhesus Chart: Chapter One
It's the weak anthropomorphic principle. If an industrial accident had triggered the End Times, Bob wouldn't be writing about the near misses. Or maybe higher dimensional beings like to play with their food....

Commented on Schroedinger's Kingdom: the Scottish Political Singularity Explained

Commented on A deceptively simple question
Nose to tail 'trains' of self-drive vehicles will do more than just improve fuel efficiency. The effective capacity of a road section will be doubled or trippled. At least. Everybody has probably experienced the weird stop-go effect on overcrowded major...

Commented on Why Microsoft Word must Die
Amen brother The formatting and document structure in Word works just fine, as long as you understand what you're doing and don't break anything by ad-hoc formatting. I know that now, but it's knowledge paid for with wasted time, tears...
