Meanwhile I strongly suspect our legal reviewer of using chatgpt to review contracts, because he sends some laughably stupid comments that look fully AI generated.

How would one get commissioned for this? Not even asking for a friend, I wouldn’t mind writing some crap if it pays my house off a decade sooner.

To abscond should be in more peoples vocabulary.

By the time I started driving, we already had gps, but I do remember my dad pulling those folder or foldable maps when driving somewhere for the first time. His advice on how to read these things was “Look for the river crossings. It usually doesn’t matter much which road you take, you will always end up at the same crossings.”

And this is why, when planning a road trip in the pre-waze days, I would always check the river crossings first and when is a low traffic time to cross them, because you don’t want to be stuck for 2 hours because an ungodly amount of drivers need to be squeezed through a narrow tunnel.

But nowadays it’s hardly relevant anymore, only to make sure you don’t take too long of a lunch/dinner break or get stuck in said situation.

The bbc listed 160k confirmed Russian deaths at the end of 2025, with estimates of the actual total between 248 and 325k. So probably around 5-1 which is high for attackers vs defenders (I think historically this is estimated at a 3-1 disadvantage, so 1 defender dies for every 3 attackers).

Meaning Ukraine is doing a pretty good job and Russia a terrible one. Nothing new there

Poetic license

Reminds me of a Scottish bagpiper, Bill Millin, during WW2 who played during the D-Day landing. The German snipers deliberately avoided shooting at him because they thought it was so ballsy and awesome. The guy survived the war.

I concur it’s a fantastic app. Especially the sponsor block is brilliant.

Well, the size of the bill often changes my mind. 35€ for 2 burgers delivered with soggy fries? Guess I will make that fried rice after all.

It’ll be quantum computing. Since the last hype around it, a lot of progress has been made to the point that quantum computers are actually becoming useful, since error correction is now mostly resolved.

I initially thought he was great. Their cloud business was booming, it looked like they were converging their tools, windows 10 had its flaws but was pretty good. But now the tools are an enormous mess because they have changed their minds 5 times over, Windows 11 is complete dogshit and all the tools that are actually handy are paywalled behind expensive licences. Copilot is being forcefed to unwilling users and every single one of their tools is becoming worse.

So yea, I think he’s a business illiterate because there is no strategy behind this mess.

I just checked and of course the stock went up.

Those are not their actual names, just when we forget them for something. Like I will do a cuddle tour in the house, but forget one, then my wife will say “Is she (or he) from gypsies?” because I suppose they were a historically neglected group. Hence they all received a gypsy name.

• Our tabby cat: little satan, little angel, rollka jambo
• Our white cat: Azog, little pig
• Our gray cat: lynx, master hunter, little moon
• Our male cat: Dyson, chunky chonker, the opera singer, sweet boy, moomoo

They also have “gypsy” names. Respectively Jessica, Jennifer, Esmeralda and Kevin

To be honest, those baby on board stickers are pretty dumb. Nobody goes “This car doesn’t have a baby on board, awesome, now I can break check them like a maniac”.

Can I pay in fridges?
