KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan? SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

I left it out in the sun and now my squib is too dry.

So we pay extra for a bit of kit like a heat pump or a fridge because it has an app that can control its functions. They then change the terms for that app at a later date and don't let you use the app until you accept the new terms. How come we all started to accept this behavior from companies?

In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty. Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

I have become an evangelist for veggies from farm shops simply because I am new to it but if you can, buy your veggies at a farm shop. Cauliflowers as big as your head and carrots that taste like a carrot fruit. I now realise how bad food from supermarkets is (apart from Hellmann's mayonaise)

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

ChatGPT now 4 for 4. "What time is F1 qualifying today". ChatGPT confident with "The F1 qualifying session for the 2025 British Grand Prix is scheduled to take place today, July 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM BST (British Summer Time)" Took three goes to prove it wrong. What is the point of this thing.

ChatGPT now 3 for 3 on confidently getting things completely wrong but requiring significant effort for me to prove it.

You have choices and high quality options available. You don't have to accept an ad-infested experience, use AI you can't control or settle for mediocre or incorrect results. It's harmful to the web, compromises your privacy, and makes it difficult to find relevant information by humans.

Got my @kagi.com T shirt today! Top quality and fits perfectly. Great way to do search on the internet and a great way to wear a T shirt.

This is my favourite part of googles "AI overview" feature. It only appears after you hit "show more" and read all the way to the end.

I never knew it was possible to drink Corona without a slice of lime sticking out the top of the bottle.

Best space related channel on youtube, the inimitable @parallaxnick.bsky.social drops more poetry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gekn...

Insane #blender skills. Also shows how visuals are not that important in a story. The story and sound design are the important things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqSP...

The most irritating day of the year is April Fools day. It is never funny and renders all actual news unreliable.

The first sentence seems to be illogical. However, the second sentence shows you just how true it is. Once declared a non citizen you no longer have the right to prove you are a citizen.

While waiting for the "woke woke woke" video we will have to make do with the "quantum quantum quantum" one.

Looks like Galileo GPS system was a good investment after all.

OK so test drove an Xpeng G9 today. Surprised at just how good it is. The Chinese are definitely on to something.

It's end of days! #Blender finally gets "Face Orientation Front" set to transparent instead of an unviewable blue!!! No more explaining how to do that in nearly every video!!

Tesla service used to be absolutely top notch. Not any more. Good job I have a test drive of an Xpeng G9 on Thursday.

Ahh….

Tesla owner evaluation guide: If they bought it pre 2018 they're OK, between 2018 and 2022 they're an idiot, 2022-2024 they need to see a specialist about their decision making and post 2024 they should lock themselves in their bedroom and stay there until their mum has cleaned up their mess.

Well that constitution we've heard so much about over the years turns out to have been just a piece of paper after all.

I wonder when the top level DNS servers are going to be weaponised.

I really miss wandering around a video shop. It was so much easier than trawling through your streaming services' crappy interfaces.

How does YouTube think its AI video description it sometimes adds to a video is likely to be more accurate than the one the video creator wrote themselves?

I'm proud of my reply and I don't care who knows it. bsky.app/profile/kurl...

I am surprised both by the number of Newskies who talk to Welp when they arrive and by the number who don't seem to understand when I ask who Welp is.

The nice thing here is that you can read a post from someone you fundamentally disagree with and your feeds don't suddenly fill up with posts from them and their mates.

Another scan through the Newskies feed. Now the US tik tok refugees are arriving. They seem a reasonable bunch.

Best recipe ever! Tandoori chicken, the easy way.

Nice to see Bluesky creeping into the stats for youtube videos.

This might be worth a look. It is supported by the Bluesky team and aims to make the underlying protocol Bluesky also uses independent of any single organisation. gofund.me/e23d11d7

Hey all! A great new recruit to Bluesky bsky.app/profile/gimp...

Time for a new 3d printing video for the three of my followers that wanted them. Here is my least popular youtube video for your delight. It needs a little love. youtu.be/Tv7MQGsAp2w

Made Scotch eggs again for the first time in ages. How are these things so good!

The little tab that holds the plastic top on the milk carton just broke and I felt a slight twang of disappointment. What has become of me. Am I alone.

I love #tinyglade. I did my house!! :) I still have sheep in the pool that won't move but maybe I'll get a couple of real ones and throw them in my pool.

All is suddenly right with the world!! Hydraulic Press Channel gets it's intro back!! Damn it's good and screw current Youtube wisdom. youtu.be/gYUrlYnpk9A?...

Yay! Bsky counter is working again. I've been staring at a bitg blue 0 for several hours now.

Bluesky user counter is broken :( What am I going to do now!

Scanning the newskies feed again. The dick pics seem to have been drowned out by the newcomers again. This time they are mostly Zuckerberg exiles. Good guys and gals all.
