I discovered today my increasingly senile Mum has an ongoing grudge against one specific tree. While walking by the end of a road she pointed down it at a big oak and just said “I don’t like that tree”. No further information was forthcoming.
Talking to my brother he tells me she always points out how she doesn’t like that tree when passing. He has no idea either. I guess just fuck that one tree in particular.
Google: “Check the output of anything Gemini does carefully as it can make mistakes”
Also Google:
“Watch my pod on YouTube”: Sad endorsement of a company that wants to sell adverts.
“Get my cast in your feed”: Cool, cyberpunk as hell.
Thus ends my argument that if we’re going to shorten podcast it should be the “cast” bit we keep.
Today in companies being needy: Vision Express called me, than later sent me a text message, then sent me a message asking for my feedback on the experience. This was all to inform me that my order isn’t ready yet, they’ve got half the glasses I bought and I was told not to expect them before Friday.
I’ve got a day to myself tomorrow and haven’t done nearly enough exercise this weekend so a 16 mile walk up the Itchen Way to Winchester it is.
I think we should have an armistice on meaningless legal statements. Things like “subject to availability” on promotions for special offers on physical items (of course it’s subject to having any in stock) and “serving suggestion” or “contents may be hot” on things where that’s obvious. Just do away with them. Everyone knows already so it’s just noise placed there by lawyers to look busy.
Just climbed the hardest thing I’ve ever got to the top of, then dismounted by dangling with a single hand from a hold a good 12’ above the ground before dropping myself down, like a god damn action hero. (Thankfully there is no video to disabuse me of the notion that this looked elegant, rather than being a desperate last ditch effort not to fall on my arse from 12’ up)
20 episodes into my rewatch of TNG and Riker has remembered they can pop the saucer off for dodgy situations like Romulans showing up. They didn’t do it of course. Not sure they ever do between the pilot episode and Generations.
