Thoughts on what interests me. I have some enduring interests; health and personal financial independence mainly. I also go through phases of obsessions; caravans, flannel shirts, motor bikes, the list is pretty long!

Admittedly an n=1, but talking to a self-confessed MAGA from rural LA, she had bought into a lot of Trump's conspiracy theories, but completely disagrees with him on Ukraine.

Agreed. Developing hardware that is not reliant on US tech is slow. Shell production is probably the quickest win to help Ukr now.

A very valid way to look at this. Beyond the cash value, however, would there be hardware capacity issues if we could not buy these from the US? We would have to assume Trump would punish Europe by not allowing use in Ukraine.

Don't confuse Brexit and a desire to contribute to Europe's security. Brexit was about leaving a political union. Sending troops to Ukraine is about security and standing up for democracies.

I agree with this but will add that it also requires the Remain politicians to have retired. That way we can avoid the “betrayal” argument and decide (slightly) more rationally.

I tried this with Gemini. I asked for all European country names with the letter r and got an incomplete list with only two names. I pointed out the mistake and next time I asked for the list the answer was complete. Immediate learning, or pure coincidence?

The lack of a breakfast menu is a deal breaker for me. The clown every time.

Our GPs online system opens at 8 am and closes when they decide they have had enough queries (in practice before 8.30. So, it works just like the 8 am phone rush, but in writing.

Happy with where we are at this point. England's trys were solid. SA's relied on luck.

Stout is normally 4%. 2.5% is more like a lager shandy. What you want is for your economy to be a wheat beer (4.5-5.5%).

This is really useful, and saves a lot of time. Thanks!
