My mum's from Methven and my great aunt lived in North Muirton, so I've a wee soft spot for them.

You've established a 100% record now. Pressure to keep that up.

Never been to the Southern Hemisphere. Maybe one day.

Genocidal intent I'd imagine.

Instead of asking a LLM stupid stuff you would never ask of eg Google, try asking about something to do with your job. Maybe not expert but definitely needing specific knowledge. That's a much better good / bad test.

2/2 What we're seeing now is a tech revolution/bubble that's both 100% commercial and very expensive. It needs to create a path where returns are possible.

I was thinking about this, and I look at the large % of my outgoings that is paid for tech services that really didn't exist when I started working. They just seeped into our lives. The difference I think is that those were built on infrastructure at least partly provided by govt at some stage. 1/2

Murder Statistics FOI Murder Statistics request number 24/2316 date of release 10/09/2024

Just to put some context on this there were 13 murder charges, not convictions for the six years 2018-2023. Which seems low for a city that size. www.dorset.police.uk/foi-ai/dorse...

If somebody has gained access to spray paint a plane, how can you be certain that's all they've done? I'm not in favour of proscribing PA either. However, I don't think it's that surprising that some would deem these as acts of terrorism.

Being an MP does.

How many idiot MPs do you see going on to future board positions etc? It's about connections not ability.

Well that's nearly £8.5k/year plus this is the one we know about. What if she's got a few properties and that's her m.o.?

Is it because she's not really interested in being an MP for the betterment of people's lives but for the current/future business clout?

Gwendoline Christie wants a word. Unless it was her. She hasn't been in much since Star Wars.

I don't know what I did but when I look at my recent calls list, it's always littered with automatically blocked spam calls.

There's a 'deal' in this too, right? Trump hasn't bent on tariffs for Apple due to a gift.

Ooh, nice. Gutted that I noticed she was playing when I couldn't justify the expense and that it was sold out when I could.

Never look at "best" or "greatest" lists. There's always morons involved.

Despite the very prompt delivery, today was my first chance to listen to Strange Is The Way by @mjohnhenry.bsky.social and it's good. Very good. Indeed.

It also happened before the SC ruling, and the complainants stated they were disturbed by the mere approach of a trans person. As clear a case of prejudice as you're likely to see.

My two do socialise - one more than the other but guess where they make those arrangements...

I've just seen a 2002 Umek track described as old school, and frankly it's put me in a tail spin. I'm away for a lie down.

My feeling, as someone who does find it useful, is too many companies are trying to shoehorn it into areas it's not been refined for. In time it will be. I'm now several years into warning we need to prepare real universal basic income and corporate taxes based on human equivalent workers.

I'd think it's not too taxing early in the season, and maybe just creates congestion later on?

I'm nearly 51 and 5.30 to 6pm has always been dinner time.

Been done. Finger picking shoegaze is unmined territory.

And let's not forget that over 80% of irregular arrivals are granted leave to stay.

Don Draper wouldn't vote Trump. I won't have that.
