I really want this for Xmas. Available at Paper Plus along with other designs

My father keeps all of his passwords chaotically scribbled on an A4 sheet of paper. I think an 'internet password journal' might be an improvement on that!

Keep it in a prominent location next to your keyboard!

Its a step up from them all being the same or on post it notes stuck to the monitor.

SomeoneSomewhere: Probably better than a word document on the PC, too. Requiring physical access has its advantages.

But you can set the word document to have a password on it ;) and if you make the text white on white noone will be able to see it to know its there ;)

Except that it's called MyPasswords.docx 😬

kingdragonfly: From America, this is not the first place to hand out real police badges to non-police VIP's typically friendly politicians and heavy donors.

Law enforcement watchdog calls for honorary badge distribution to end: Fox8

It's like the Soviet nonemklatura, except there the badge was usually a ZiL limousine.

People come up with the most absurd words to justify the shitness of their actions. For example, the City of London Corporation decided to close the meat and fish markets running for 850 years.

The initial plan was to move everyone to a new GBP 1 billion place. After spending GPB 300 million, they decided not to do it. 

They told the market traders they will close by 2028.

A trader, whose family has sold fish at the site for 70 years, said: "For what we’ve been offered to vacate the premises, I can’t go and reinstate myself somewhere else. I’ve been told to do my best with what I can do. It’s not great at all."  

Here comes the bullshit spin: "Chris Hayward, policy chairman of the City of London Corporation, said the decision represented a "positive new chapter" for the markets as it "empowers traders to build a sustainable future in premises that align with their long-term business goals"."

That's because the City only really cares about money, and in any case is way too busy acting as the global laundromat for (mostly) Russian organised crime, which includes not clamping down on said crime because it's good for business.  Recommended reading: "Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything" (despite its terrible-sounding title, which does however describe the contents fully), and even more so "Kleptopia" (Economist book of the year, and very depressing reading).

McDonald's is currently serving food in bags that say "Can I get uhhhhhhhh". The way that comes across to me is that they're mocking customers who walk up to the counter before they know what they want. I'm sure that's not their intention, but I'm not sure how else to interpret it!

I did the Stuff quiz this morning and there was a question of how many bits in a byte.

I was shocked to see that over half the people that took the quiz thought the answer was 1000!

Only 25% knew the correct answer. 

Well, most people drive cars but don't know how they work.

... or how to indicate at roundabouts.
