  Yesterday's main local news, as reported on the national radio bulletin, was that several of the main dining/catering businesses on the island were stopping weekday daytime meals due to a "truly massive chef shortage". Some wag called the radio station during the phone-in program to suggest that those businesses should try to recruit small and medium-sized chefs instead. I've been giggling at that for the last 24 hours.

  They talk about "intelligence too cheap to meter" as if intelligence was something to be metered.

  @juandesant @Di4na @foosel Might be arduous ir tricky for recipients to check, when you are writing portable software eg: automated build with (say) the last 5 versions of 12 compilers across 15 platform types, that may result in several hundred different current 'build results', in terms of sets of executable binary blobs, from a single version of the source.
