Spreadsheet enthusiast in Ireland. When I'm not crunching numbers, you can find me planning my next cruise adventure.

Does the story contain a lot of subtext?

And if there is a tiny dab of excess, a nail varnish remover pad cleans it right up. You don't need to wait until it's dry and hack half the wall off.

This was brought to you by me trying expanding foam for the first time tonight.

I've been lied to by men my whole life. It's perfectly possible to put just the right amount of expanding foam in. For small, deep spots, you can even squeeze some onto a bit of cardboard and "trowel" it in neatly.

I don't know why I find 1950s people standing under a gourmet burger sign so hilarious.

Disguise the LEDs in among sequins and sew an inside pocket for the battery?

My problem is laziness. I can't be bothered putting makeup on most days, let alone intricate makeup.

If it doesn't destroy the function, can you leave the lips clear for lip readers?

I'm. Too sexy for this app. Too sexy for this app. So sexy, wait hang on a second, I've got a splinter.

Good point. Very exciting, wonder what I'll turn out to be?

I'm a woman who can do both. Does that make me more or less sexy?

I meet the "woman" criterion, but that's the only one. Ah well.

Based on exes, I just assumed that's how all men dried towels.

Have you considered just piling them all wet on my side of the bed?

I'll be OK with my qwater.

I'm just in the door from all of those.

Screenshot of Gemini chat where I asked it to suggest an English speaking tech journalist who is good at eating hotdogs,  and its top pick is Thomas Germain.

I just asked Gemini on my phone and got this.

All the men in my mother's side of the family shared two or three names for generations, and many of the men on my dad's side a few others.

It's fine, you'll know you've got the right one when you find his father/brother/uncle/neighbour Patrick.

I was taught to reverse in in places like big shopping centres to make it less likely you'd run over a child reversing out.

My grandfather used refer to pneumonia as "the old man's friend".

Yes. Antibiotics really only hit Ireland after WW2, and were quite expensive and not very common in the early days. My mother tells of people, children and old people particularly, who died of a bunch of things we'd just take tablets for now. The "bit of a cough" I have now could have killed me.

Based on this, it looks like it might be histamines or sulphites for me. Whiskey and dark liquors ate fine. I don't drink beer, so that's why I've probably only noticed it with red wine. I'm generally well hydrated, so it's unlikely to be that so quickly.

She is nothing but architectural debris of a failing societyβ€”a spineless bridge for monsters to walk over, hoping they’ll thank her for the privilege of being stepped on.

But other than that, I'm sure she's pleased with her performance in the hearings.

Is that the sulphites? I get a banging headache about a quarter or a third of the way into a glass of red wine, even "good" red wines. I just don't drink red wine now. White is generally fine.

Asking it to explain the logic and comment every line to explain what it's doing helps me learn the syntax of a new (to me) language and helps me spot errors if they arise.
