    I can say this:
    I once sat in a customer meeting in Boston with Lotus Notes dev team leads. When we came to calendar problems, the mood in the room worsened noticeably. It was clear that the devs knew about the problems and had already put substantial effort into solving them. They were massively frustrated.

    There’s also a great ancient #TomScott video rant on time zones I always think of.

You can call the album "eclectic" but that's the beauty of Nilsson -- you get some pop, some soft-shoe nostalgia, some folk, maybe a little psychedelia all in arrangements backed by lush-sounding orchestrations. Some fine musicians help, too…

  16. CW: Only Connect: Brasenose Postgrads vs Hitchhikers

    Arrr, good guess from Captain Tom Scott of the Hitchhikers.

    ...and he could have had FIVE POINTS! for the datum of measurements. Instead of which, he gets Zero Points.

    Things you can't do in the Commons. Someone with a better knowledge of Tom Scott's oeuvre will point to the edition where he covered this in greater detail.

    Decreasing order of Wingspan? Let's check the rules...

    Grads took a long time to think about a suit of armour. Remember, the sequence answers should be fairly familiar...

    ...such as my question about Bond girls. No! It's about women in the cabinet. Next was someone who just keeps cropping up on BBC4. Sorry, everyone.

    "Let's try blood! YES!!!"

    And those attributed famous last words they didn't have time to air:

  20. Chris Spargo filled a Tom Scott space in our hearts by being a British nerd who asks and answers mundane questions.

    He recently got to interview Kier Starmer. It was the last interview Starmer did as Prime Minister.

  25. Not to be "that guy" but I've seen people already comparing today's train collision with the video Tom Scott posted about a week ago and just reminding the world that he is a person and had nothing to do with today's events. There is no "curse" and its damaging to suggest so. (To anyone this post may apply to)

  26. I care little for WIRED, but I enjoy Tom Scott a lot--and respect him even more. So, here's some advice from someone who's been doing this for close to three decades now.

  31. CW: Tom Scott: England Spoilers

    Watching the latest Tom Scott: England video on Nebula and seeing Tom be nervously excited to pull and push live levers that affect the rail switches and what-not.

    During all of that, all I can think of is the cartoon of Plucky Duck pushing all of the elevator buttons from Tiny Toons.
