not my thing, it only sounds like my tinnitus.

A packet of SHIN RAMYUN featuring an illustration of Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters. Nongshim brand name + logo and slogan "Lovely Life Lovely Food" Not clearly readable in the pic, but there's also text explaining "SHIN": Spicy Happiness In Noodles Alternative packaging with Zoey was also avail in my local store

Important update from the Coop's world foods section:

Anyway, not exiting until I've had a chance to throw this in the face of the decision-maker wannabe-tech-bro, if only to get the satisfaction of "I told you so" later on as his gamble fails miserably.

So much supporting material too. Industry articles on "more than 80%" "up to 95%" of AI projects failing, and why, and what to do to optimise chances of success. "Align with LOB" "Make sure your SMEs are involved at all steps" "It's not about replacing jobs" etc.

Tech bosses not workers but yeah this is where we are. Someone decided to replace our experienced team with much fewer new starts and an AI engineer, but it's not fully set in stone yet. One of the angles we're taking to fight back + save jobs is "your AI project will fail if you don't retain SMEs"

A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

Ominous bird valentines.

Life in the UK Test -FREE online Practice Tests & EXAMS 2025 Get ready to PASS the Life in the UK test! ➨➨➨ FREE study materials, practice tests and EXAMS available here. Become a permanent resident or UK citizen.

I'd rate my chances of passing without revising at >80% based on sample exams from lifeintheuktestweb.co.uk, but I don't want to pay £50 more than once. Share with your friend if he doesn't know this site already (Exams, not Tests, for the real thing)

I know, and she wants to change it from B1 to B2... test results valid 2 years so I'd hope they do some sort of exception but best drill some stupid dates and names and shit in my brain for that Life in the UK test and send the application asap.

I really need to hurry with my UK application before they change the language test rules, but must say if I had the time and inclination I would have taken the Welsh or Scottish Gaelic option out of spite.

Me: ISTP
Them: ?
Me: I thought you meant business astrology.

they really should exclude all sci-fi about AIs from the material they train the LLMs on.

ooh you better not be telling me they're foisting halal chickens onto unsuspecting Reform voters 😱😆

good thing you regularly post pictures of her so I know that's her normal face, and not a display of cruelty to cats!

I can't think of a better contemporary purveyor of weird and dark Scandi stories than Norway's Camilla Bruce.

Here she is speaking of Norwegian folklore and witches and ghosts at a UK festival 3 years ago

I think literature too - obviously not in a visual sense, but some works will leave the reader wondering whether to choose a supernatural/fantastic reading or something more down to earth. I've had the reaction you mention to some books!

(User cropped out) I still remember my 7 digit id from 1995. I wonder if my 6 digit password still works.... Osaka, esoteric 6dof libidinal axis h... @osaka.zone that's ICQ

LOL
afraid I forgot that one, as well as my /. id that probably tied to a lost webmail.

my IRC clients of choice back then: Linux: irssi, Win: BersIRC.
Usenet: tin/XNews.

you connect to a server, from which typically you join group chats, but you can also do one on one.

Right, who needs Discord and Reddit when we could have IRC and Usenet?!

I've switched to the non-crunchy version in place of Nutella (no palm oil)!
I hope they haven't discontinued their Caramelized Apple spread, I haven't seen it on supermarket shelves lately and I'm not happy.

and he seemed to be quiet one in the team, certainly compared to the Boe brothers then!

A Norwegian biathlete died about 6 weeks ago - the gold winner made all his interviews about Sivert Bakken and dedicated the win to him.
So that's Laegreid realising the timing is terrible lol.

And biathlon is big in Norway, he's got to be pretty famous there.

Formula Offroad for the Olympics!
I think it was called something different when it was shown on Eurosport a long long time ago, Bjork's "Play Dead" playing over credits.
