What I was thinking here was that some external shock might disrupt the flow of capital to the stubbornly unprofitable AI industry, bursting the bubble. Anyway I think we've just had an external shock.
This is all very well but now we need a taxonomy. Need to buy an oddly shaped light bulb? That's an errand, yo. Transitioning to a new procurement platform? You're in project country. Recovering an amulet of some sort, to free the townspeople from an ogre? We questin'.

The councilor has apparently never heard of the Fox Police
I presume this flip-flopping is because they want to reassure the markets but also know that Iran has all sorts of ideas for how to attack US Navy vessels that come chugging along the Strait
Managed to spend two low-denomination One4All cards on online purchases, leaving only a few cents to spare on each. AI could never
Lol now it's “as soon as it is militarily possible", this certainly is the messaging of a group of people who are definitely going to do a thing and have a real plan to do so
12 hours ago they were saying they could do it themselves maybe "by the end of the month". Tomorrow it'll be "we're looking at a possible AI solution"
Neighbor is shoveling snow back into his driveway so it will melt quicker than the huge pile he made by shoveling it out of his driveway
Initial thought was that it looked legit because the wording and punctuation were sort of authentically clumsy, but the jeweller is a new and slightly mysterious online-only business so I suspect this is an attempt at viral marketing

Quite apart from the extraordinary choice to use the segregation-era term "white-passing" when so many more contemporary alternatives are available
But here they are in UK GE 2024 using "Family Voting" as the heading for a section that opens with an entirely unrelated consideration of ethnicity
Some other interesting items from their website. In Ireland 2020 they said "Family voting is often asserted as happening in specific communities", implying that these were not assertions *they* would ever make
Of course this is all implied, because they want the public to join the racist dots instead of having to say it themselves
Who knew that this would turn out to be another episode of the Brits Are At It Again?
Voting in Ireland is a very social experience. I went to school with my local presiding officer and elections are about the only time we ever catch up. I suppose she is breaking some kind of law by saying "your Dad was in earlier"
Some interesting maths here, where 67 instances are claimed to represent 7.5% of voters. The total votes in that election was 2.2 million
I’m a little put out that Ireland is one of the 8, since the integrity of our elections and counts is like the one aspect of Irish public life that everyone agrees is OK
