That basement would make a kickarse gaming room, just saying.

AI errors in accounting software could get ruinously expensive for software companies, so I expect you won’t see it any of the big ones at least, for a while.

Out of interest, what are you using instead?

I was wondering this the other day, I’ve had loads of clients ask me to opt them out of Google workspace AI stuff in the last few weeks.

Taking my daughter Gacha hunting in Japan last summer was a genuine delight. We got so much random nonsense 😂

After some digging it appears the results it’s telling you are for a completely different race (albeit by the same race company). If it can’t get relatively simple things like that right, I’d be checking the results you get back if I were you 😂

The information can be found on the web page for the race, both men and women’s course record. HOWEVER, AI results in on Google and a bunch of other AI clients if you ask, confidently return completely incorrect results.

Actually, it was an Archimedes rather than an electron I think!

C64 at home, followed by BBC micro in early secondary, and Acorn Electron in the higher years, as GCSE pupils got to use the newer kit! One thing that was cool, being near Quantel, they loaned (at the time) state of the art Paintbox systems to local schools, so got to play with one of those!

Not just cheaper, but the owners of Betamax refused to allow it to be used for spangle movies either.

Our toilet fired ants when you flushed it for a while once, but rats is MUCH worse 😂

Yup. Was only slightly less for the three of us to see Totoro at the theatre too.

Yeah, gigs and festivals are spendy now. It cost us about £300 for the three of us to go see Babymetal at the o2 last week!

Showing my age here, but last time I did Glastonbury in ‘95 it was about £55 a ticket 😂

I met him at the model engineer show at Ally Pally with my dad when I was a kid. We watched him do a talk and then bumped into him later on!

Looks like it varies by airline and ticket type for some carriers.

If you’re flying from the US, they don’t do the same to us Brits flying to the states though. Each time I’ve flown back from Gencon in the states, I’ve not been charged for the extra bag. Friends visiting from US last year also had the crazy allowance.

US standard airline allowances are 2x25kg bags EACH. When we were in Japan last summer we saw a lot of US families wrangling ungodly amounts of luggage at train stations.

Just left London after a few days celebrating the small human finishing SATs and taking her to her first gig. It was hot, hot, hot. Looking forward to the considerably cooler north!

Nice work! Love a bit of grime, I think part of the reason I gravitated towards Skaven when I started painting again was the amount of weathering you can do. That and the models are brimming with character. Behold my grimy rat blaster!

I am extremely glad my Tortie has shown no interest in my mini painting stuff so far. She’ll steal my office chair though 😂

Oh no. Hope she’s OK.

On the plus side, unlike me, you probably don’t have adamantium bones.

Oh no. In the long list of medical procedures I endured during being a medical mystery and then a cancer patient, that’s my least favourite. I’ve had two. Good luck!

Someone, I forget who, once described teeth as your “luxury bones”. And they were absolutely right. They’re not needed (mostly) for most people to do their day to day job, so they’re seen as a luxury, rather than something important that needs to be looked after.

I remember reading them when I was a LOT younger and loving them. I need to give them another go.

Haha, if memory serves, I was too. Mainly because as part of the biopsy they drained many, many litres of fluid out of my lungs, which had been preventing me from doing anything for quite a while. The novelty of being able to walk up the road to the shop without dying, was pretty good!

After recovering from surgery? Gonna say yes. I wasn’t allowed to do mine after my biopsy and all they did was stick a camera through my ribcage and take out a tiny bit of my lung. I’d say rest up!

My daughter watches some YouTube channels with AI voices and it’s so distracting. I find it super unengaging!

The VRS is LOVELY. We have an Enyaq now, but I’d love to have had a VRS. My other half was sadly less keen 😂

An Octavia estate is smaller than the van, but terrifyingly spacious. Not covertible though!

When I had my lung biopsy back in the mid 2000’s a sizeable chunk of the staff weren’t from the UK. They were all wonderful! My 4 day stay morphed into almost two weeks, so I saw a lot of staff 😂

Around that era, one of the local secondaries had a head called Mr Dick, and on his door it said “Mr Dick (Head)” 😂 being pre phones, kids regularly got into trouble for trying to take pictures of the door with disposable cameras 😂

Not 100% I have to say. A bit tired, sore and dizzy. Drinking lots of fluids and staying in the shade 😃

Joe Cornish has made some great stuff, I’m still grumpy about Lockwood and Co getting cancelled, that was a great adaptation of the books!
