I always try local first. But whilst complaining about lack of trade or support, local organisations don't help me give them trade/interest/support, is it any wonder people go to Amazon?

One victim killed in Manchester synagogue attack hit by police gunfire Police said the only shots fired were by armed police as the attacker did not have a firearm.

If power usage in Azure (or other cloud provider) is aggregated and more efficient, we should know how that helps our green credentials. Unless it doesn't ...

This year I saw Carl Cox on the start line for TT.

For this year's MGP, it was Noel Edmonds.

It's getting better.

First time Trump would have thought of "Alaska", probably.

What Manx culture needs is angry rap, Kneecap style.

Watching Knight Rider boxset. And it's awesome.

My son thinks I'm from the stone age. He's missing out.

Sorry, I thought yesterday was a victory in tennis not who was in the posh seats.

Very pleased to hear Andre Agassi tell the BBC commentary team that he didn't care who was in the crowd, that he was there "to talk about the tennis.".

When will the BBC stop fawning on so-called "celebs" in the Wimbledon crowd and concentrate on the sport?

Found King of the Hill on Disney+.

Thought that was supposed to be satirical, not a documentary.

"loan words"? I wonder what happens when the loan matures... 😁

Finally a use for AI.

"As a Scout Leader, can I do ..."

I could either read the extensive rules myself or get Copilot to do it for me and give me references.

Tynwald Day today, whilst reading out the new legislation in Manx. Seems there's no word for "vaping". It's just "vapal".

Apparently pronounced Foo-CHA-vich. Thankfully.

Next Scouts challenge

I'm trying to come up with food that can be cooked outside, is devoid of allergens, suitable for all faiths, defeats fussy eating, suitable for pescatarians, vegetarians & vegans.

Thinking hot dogs for one option (easy to cook, flexible). Need another option.

Ideas welcome!

They do like to get their toys out.

Trying to keep Cubs and Scouts in a group but they want to play hide and seek...

If the future of the web is AI endpoints powered by MCP, it makes web site development so much easier.

It sounds as if Apple have invented Windows Vista (glass UI) and Windows 8 (Spotlight). Let's see if that works out better.

Exploring what makes people "evil".

Well deserved. Only 39 more years to go for me ...

Look what arrived just in time for Father's Day.

I use Affinity Photo. Very powerful and similar.

Maybe this was the bridge we were looking for. New plan needed.

Learning from hike reccy at the weekend: always know where you are on the map, but don't trust it. Will be re-reccying tonight.

Where was that bridge?

There are lots of sirens blaring this TT. Hopefully everyone is being responsible, including the Police.

It's still the 90s in my head. 😎
