@evan amazing to have such a detailed family tree. Very cool.

@jbaty guy on the left needs way more practice. Lad in the middle has nearly got it.

@anon_opin nothing beats business park chic at the moment for hideousness.

@fesshole I sometimes jokingly refer to my chonk as success ballast.

But, for you, that's exactly what it was.

@cory the climax of ep8 really lost me in terms of being able to suspend the disbelief. Not sure I can push through it, but time will tell.

@anon_opin the average digestive biscuit can take 8 to 10 dunks depending on the temperature of the drink. You absolute wet wipe.

@fesshole wonder how big you think table spoons are.

@luke @jamie stock response now is to ask him to get the LLM to provide references. Usually makes the debunking quicker.

I've had this at least 3 times:

Him: Regulation X.Y Part N says that you are not allowed to do this. Your system is not compliant.

(Me: No it doesn't.
Him: Yes it does.) x3

Him: It does - even AI agrees [slop repeating his assertion]

Me: please ask which paragraphs in particular, because I'm looking at the regulation and... it really doesn't.

Him: Ok maybe it doesn't.

There's a bloke at work. Whenever he's involved in a disagreement about process / regulation / compliance he ALWAYS pulls out some ai slop response to reinforce his position.

Then you have to spend effort picking it apart before he'll move on. Takes him seconds to generate some bollocks and takes the rest of us 39 minutes to debunk it.

It's absolutely maddening.

@dank Orphan-crushing machine.

@anon_opin if only there was some way to make alterations to the shape of a mince patty... Shame.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.

@Ruddred

@fesshole this isn't even a fess.

@Steve extreme relative dose of salt and fats triggering blood pressure spike and inflammation.

An old injury or a minor injury that you don't normally have pain from suddenly makes itself known.

@Steve @dick_turpin Pete loves a tug.

@bensmithuk @neil can confirm. My TV bill, for which the only purpose was for Mrs Basil to watch Manchester United, was £110 per month. (Not including TV licences).

(And even then, she would turn to scouring the risky corners of the internet for the many games that are not televised in the UK for various legal/contractual reasons)

@andyc hope that's no a Samuel Smith's or they'll shut the place down overnight.

@andyc what they would do at my place is - after a few years, the right person will complain to the CTO who will demand a brand new timesheet system is implemented that doesn't have this problem.

After 18 months, the new system will go live with 15 different, brand new problems.

The initiative will be branded a success by the new CTO unless the right person complains about the new systems problems. In which case, it will be held up as the kind of nonsense that happened under the previous CTO.
