Hope you're in the mood for some CHEESE youtu.be/zRfpuaHuzDY FMV cheese, mm. I've covered SimCity before, but this odd 1994 Interplay release is one I haven't reviewed until now. The Enhanced CD-ROM with copious amounts of full motion video! It's both enjoyably silly and unfortunately frustrating.

Woken up by the sound of fastidious slurping.

No thanks

Stumbled across this: The root of "female" has nothing to do with "male". It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man.

Woke up thinking I'd fallen asleep in a sauna, bloody heating is stuck on full blast for no reason I can discern apart from the obvious. Gremlins.

I use Strava a lot because I'm on my bicycle a lot. So I searched for an email address where I could send them screenshots of the OG bug & also this useless chat log. I couldn't find one. So the only way I had to send a message to a human (maybe?) was to cancel my subscription after many years.

What gets me is why any lawyer would want to use AI? Seriously: one great thing about law is the thrill of working out the answer to a practical problem, using texts, cases, statutes and other materials. That’s the point of it.

Delighted to have received such a warm welcome in Scotland.

If I had known Chuck Norris was so politically bad, I would have mindfully not watched his movies instead of just never seeing them.

They're pulling copilot from a bunch of Windows stuff including notepad so they can focus on "integrating AI where it's most meaningful" which is frankly nowhere

These two. Sisters. Bred for pure gun dog work in Hexham. Such loves 🥰

A friend went round to his neighbours’ for Eid last night and apparently the wife slightly panicked about hosting white people because she disappeared for a couple of minutes and came back with half a pint of whisky for him. This, to me, is multiculturalism

Oh, NVIDIA.

Cronk!

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I’m 16 years doing greyhound rescue in Ireland and everyone I know who’s involved is exhausted. There have been incremental improvements but the overwhelming number of unwanted dogs pumped out every year is unrelenting and never ending.

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn't Indiana Jones.

RIP Chuck Norris, I guess you went to kick some ass elsewhere.

FRIDAY!

The Vernal Equinox hits at 2.46pm today and thus begins the first of Spring. I wish all my people (you lot too) a happy Persian New Year (Now-Ruz meaning new day). Here's to hope, freedom, and the chance to live life in peace. #Nowruz #PersianNewYear #Spring #ZendebadIran 💚🤍❤️

Aah, Chopin, the age-old lullaby for cultured felines. 😸💤 #cat #chopin #piano #concerto

I've got so used to slow blinking as a form of communication with the cat that I just did it unthinkingly at a man who gestured to me on the tube to offer me his seat.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_p... The 1973 and 1979 oil crisis created, for a while, a huge surge in interest in renewable energy. The US government funded research into solar panels and batteries and such, Carter installed solar panels on the white house, etc. Reagan then killed it.

What is the end game for videogame graphics? Realism is more often boring than not, but that seems to be what hardware and games are tripping over themselves to provide. I used to be a GRAPHICS WHORE. Now I have GRAPHICAL DYSFUNCTION and there's no pill I can take that will help!

I hope he’s comfy. I would hate for him not to be comfy.

I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Just a reminder that I'm still here, still designing and my shop is still very much open. Cards, prints, homewares & T-shirts. All made in the UK, all designed by me. gailmyerscough.co.uk

No, your artificial lawn is not a "life hack". It's another tiny nail in the planet's coffin.

"Vote for us to represent Scotland, and we'll make sure we can do less for Scotland than we can today!" That's a hell of a campaign promise, and very disappointing that their followers will lap it up. Still, at least they're being honest that they can't be arsed to govern at all...

Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu.

This is absolutely brilliant. Instigated by Gordon Brown, delivered today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Research funded by special boys says special boys key to functioning of society and economy. Got it.

Reform Scotland's manifesto launch is taking place today at the Ingliston Country Club in Bishopton.

There is no surer political principle than Hubris will tend to be visited by Nemesis.

New slogan has dropped on the morning that Reform UK announce their candidates for the Scottish elections.

When the King of England starts to be portrayed as woke, you have to wonder quite how far they’re slipping to the right. Not exactly the most progressive institution, the British Royal Family.
