Please, no Christmas playlists until December.

New power unit and lots of fresh tryes really helped Max, but what a good drive by Max. #f1

The clocks on our Internet connected devics have automatically adjusted, the two radio controlled wall clocks automatically adjusted, and I've adjusted the two trad wall clocks, oven, and microwave. I realise I'm not doing social media correctly.

This! Always worth remembering where a lot of British culture comes from.

The problem with the term antifa is that the right wing is trying to separate it from the phrase it's a shortening of - anti-fascist. It's easier to be anti antifa than it is to be anti anti-fascist...

When did we start getting excited about all these full moons again? Was it during Covid lockdowns?

This.

Making America Great Again Update: US President not in charge of who gets to attend a meeting taking place at a meeting he instigated on a US military base on US soil with a foreign leader whose country has an economy about the size of the New York City Metropolitan Area.

It's awful, but I like it

A Golden Dome to protect against, um, golden showers of missiles? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was today years old when I realised Russia could not win a war with North Korea.

Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.

I wonder how many other people have been invertedly added to chats and are keeping quiet and hoovering up all the information. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Projection...

Yup!

Yes, all of this.

The cry of "No taxation without representation!" was made by people who knew the benefits of taxation and representation. Trump does not know the value and importance of either.

Seems JD Vance is the lunacy...

This!

Yet Trump/Musk claim to support free speech. I think they're fascist snowflakes

This. Otherwise it's a coup

Sadly, the UK left the EU legally and in full accordance with its constitution and Article 50.

Congress is letting him dictate...

Dear BBC, who chose the colours for this?

Haggis lunch box.

This!

I'm an atheist and yet still a better Christian than Trump and his mob.

It's fun seeing people rediscover ELIZA and great to hear much of the original code has been found. I do feel an awful lot of the LLM hype bubble is due to people's ability to over anthropomorphize systems and see abilities that are not really there. www.livescience.com/technology/e...

So much for transparency in decision making.

To go with the glass of PX my wife has just handed to me.

Yup!

My wife has fetched a bottle of white wine from the walk-in wine fridge. Or, as we call it in the summer, the garage.

This. For so many facts, too. It's grim.

Using up the last of the Christmas Pudding.

Said no dishwasher manual ever

Beef for lunch today.

Chef is hard at work.

She seems happy enough! Merry Christmas!

While observing all the standard protocols for decanting Port, the addition of a coffee filter works wonders.

Kung Po Haggis Pakora - any takers?

Beef short ribs for supper. Slow cooked with a lot of garlic and red wine.

Bedtime snack.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it. So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

My wife and I are both night owls. Our ideal day length is 26 hours - an extra hour awake, an extra hour asleep. Dear planetary scientists, how long until that happens?

I'm going to have to get a better profile pic.

Their output is often so well written people stop fact checking it. We seem to associate the well spoken with the well informed. This is already abused by some people and many LLMs seem not better even if the intent is not there.

Up a hill.

Sunday BBQ supper

Why on earth should they be furious? Nobody should be above the law. The party of law and order have always said the innocent should have nothing to fear, so why are they furious? ;-)

I think the capabilities of self driving cars have a deadly valley between where the driver always has to pay attention and never has to pay attention. You get there when the car can't cope and hands over to a driver not paying attention and who does not have time to react.
