Never too late for that. Pretty much everyone I know has skipped years or restarted in life. It happens.

Knowing anything about source material just seems to irritate people.

Watching it as a standalone film, it’s just some big flashy set pieces, and too many bad things happening to dogs for no good reason.

Not playing, but listening to the Retrograde Amnesia FFVIII again. Probably the 4th time now.

People don’t really believe that was a regular decoration for a regular house, do they?

It was deliberately coloured in Xmas colouring in all surfaces in a ludicrous way. It’s certainly not a standard anyone was actually living to.

That’s cool. Very much on my list of places to visit. Was in Portugal last week which is why that came to mind first.

Let’s croak us some toads.

Portugal? All the storks and enormous nests balanced on everything is hilarious, I love it.

Wow, that’s a throwback

In the UK it’s always knife and fork, but I’m sure I’ve heard Americans say fork and knife. I may be wrong.

The point is that people with mortgages are still trapped into thinking “I can’t afford to take risks with my job, or I’ll end up homeless”. The popularisation of mortgages is relatively new, and a deliberate way to keep the workforce in check.

Same with mortgages

If it’s got a nice oxide layer on the outside, fine. Otherwise it’s fairly reactive.

It’s irritating that you used to be able to run a 2.4 children household on a male breadwinner, and now two incomes is often not enough. We’ve normalised everyone working and noone able to focus on home and the family.

I guess the idea of the “stay at home dad” didn’t take off enough to normalise a single worker after women were able to leave the house.

(I’m aware of the broad strokes hetronormative language here, but it’s relevant)

Loved it when he invented Vegemite

Yeah, I wonder if the previous ~2 years of bizarre and overconfident hallucinations and 6 thumbed stock photo models has meant that AI adoption might actually slow down.

Other than the zealots who hate the concept of it in its entirety (fair point, but far from the majority experience), most people will have just seen it fail somehow.

I think probably most people have tried it, ended up with it confidently telling them a restaurant is open when it’s been closed for months, or it drew them a 5 legged dog, or produced a summary of their emails telling them that grandma died, and decided that AI is trash.

But it’s actually quite effective now, it can actually do all the things it was pretending to do 18 months ago.

There’s a rules doc which these all break

I was recently in a pub which had water bottles from the different regions of Scotland, so you could add drops of the same water it was made from.

Also, a pipette to exactly measure the amount of water added. It was excellent.

Can you chuck them over your shoulder?
