If you want lots of phishing emails, just pay for an ad on facebook. Within hours I've had several dodgy emails telling me my advertising account is violating policies. Considering my ad was just supposedly targeting a small ruralish area, Im curious how they discovered I'd setup an ad!

Maybe waiting until he has saved up enough money to buy a sensible domain name before releasing v1

You can probably get one for free from an EMF maths village

I have been successfully pasting without Copilot of over 30 years, I really don't need it's "help" now, since most of the time it's just in the way. @microsoft.com

I'm just waiting for my bank to pay me my loyalty bonus. It's been about 25 years now, so due any day now, surely... ;)

Perhaps the FBI has profiled someone in hiding, and is sneakily trying to get them to reveal themselves with questions only they'll answer all yes to

I wish the AI bots would just automatically give me the reply that I get when I say their first reply doesn't work

Of course this weekend. Because it's a bank holiday weekend, and I'm off camping...

Oh, I just spell it out

Joined TalkMobile for £8pm 10 years ago. Still the same price now with 8 times more data. Fortunately not all providers feel the need to up the price every year :)

Stools will go in their slots for the first week due to novelty. Then they'll just be pushed under like any other table after that

One of my dentists used to tell me I should brush my teeth with salt each night. Not that I did, a mouthful of salt isn't the most pleasant of things

Great talk on Anxiety/burnout youtu.be/YjXINSxbA-A?... - @thisisjofrank.bsky.social managed to describe me in the first few minutes

I think random.choice() is involved when looking at the Steward decision data

It's easier if you turn them off first

Dear Word. If I'm using a monospace font, I always want a normal double quote. Not want of those fancy pretty ones

One day I might need that firewire cable I haven't used for 20 years :)

Yep, I have several deep of these too. The Documents folder also has a few layers of Documents folders, ending in an old My Documents folder at the bottom

I wonder what change there might be, if any, if instead of left/centre/right, you instead summarize left/right ideologies, I.e. on social issues, taxes, immigration, public/private services, unions etc.

I find myself too often saying before covid or since covid to say when things happened. I'm wondering if it's time to reset the 0 year, so 5BC now means 5 years Before Covid and AD means After panDemic?

By that time my children did maths the same way I did. Write down the answer we did in our head, and work backwards to the question to show the working in the way the school wanted. It did put them off homework in the subject they were naturally good at :(
