I've swapped back to Kagi (kagi.com) for search again - the ability to block domains from your results is so useful I'm not sure I can live without it any more. And Google etc are the most useless they've ever been, pushing whatever makes them money rather than actually finding good results. #tech
Thank you all for your kind words today - they are very much appreciated and have been relayed to the family. 🙏
Same - I crack directly but not everyone wants to juggle like that, so I gave the easy version. 😉
Why would I want to block you?
👋
Best trick I learned: - Boil water with vinegar and salt in it, turn down to simmer - Crack egg into cup/glass - With the handle end of a wooden spoon (or like), stir the simmering water into a 'funnel' - Slide the egg from the cup into the water It will spin for a bit, but end up lovely.
Of course! 😁
Never say never...
Oh let's hope so.
Somehow reading a score from a game, and displaying it on the LEDs. May need a few for those games with large scores mind.
Or, unplugged it from the wall.
That *has* to be a typo, right? 😂
Early Sunday phone call to learn that my sister-in-law moved on over night. Great start to the day. 😥
Life lessons. 👍🏻
Same. It would appear that being bothered isn’t a thing for FPL - I set it and left it last year. 😂
Having lived in Berkshire for a lot of my life, it’s definitely pronounced Barkshire.
Do you find it makes a massive difference? Also, what are your closed case temps like?
Aye - am the same. Will let you know when he replies.
He's still @games_rozz on the other side - not finding him here. Last post seems to be around 6pm this evening - I've pinged him a DM.
Me and my To-Do list are becoming more wed than the wife and I.
International Speak like a Cornwallian Day more like. :)
In honor o' International Natter Like a Pirate Day, here's a pirate translator ye can use pirate.monkeyness.com/translate
Avast ye landlubbers! Tis Speak like a Pirate day! And a great excuse to wheel out probably the best ever Pirate game!
On OpenRouter.ai there are loads. And of those, many are FREE to use.
I’ll call your Atari TOS and raise you an Amiga OS. 😀
Happy Birthday Fella! Hope you have the best day. 🎉🥳🎁🎈🍻
Yep. It’s Aero v2. Ish. Skeuomorphism is back @ Apple.
A useful tip and it does disable the ‘Liquid Glass’ effect, but somehow it makes it all worse. Starting to think I need to revert and completely ignore v26 (anything).
As has always been the way. You’d think we’d learn?
Apple and/or Orange.
Those subs are not to be sniffed at either.
The side-boob one?
OK - this is now on my *want* list. Burnout DNA? Take my cash! 💴
It's pretty awesome. Was it used in D&D perchance?
If you can find it, reader mode is great for websites. Removes all the cruft so you can get on and read the actual article. And, obviously, allows translations.
Blimey - has it been 4 years already???
iPhone will allow you to translate the article when you open it in reader mode. Unsure if Android can do this?
Mantle Model xkcd.com/3141/
![Comic. Every feature of the Earth’s surface that we have a hard time explaining. [Arrows point from title to assorted bumps on surface of sphere.

Yeah, I got this.
I think I'll also take one for the team. Macbook Pro can take the update, and leave my Mini on Sequoia for the time being.
G'luck. Is that the beta channel you're on, as I'm not seeing 15.7 as available to me?
You're pausing that for now though, right?
Al and Ziggy being bashed a lot had a massive influence on my decision. Because that's what I want to do to it - bash it, constantly.
This is why I've changed the wake word to 'Ziggy'. However, be fair warned that the TV - somehow - still triggers the bloody thing.
They'll have facial recognition and allow you to look at someone you don't know, and get all their details to hand - like name, likes/dislikes, etc. Not something I personally look forward to - and I'll likely ignore people wearing the things. And I'm an IT guy...
xWorrying needs to absolutely be a thing.
I know, right? 😂
@theclippy.bsky.social ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I know, and he was fresh to the team at the time too. Expecting too much too soon are Pompey.
From a Pompey fan I work with, they don’t rate him at all. Those 24 mins didn’t go too well for him so far.
Getting ours serviced next Monday - then the heating will be on.
Not again...
Not so much spicy as common sense.
Where are you getting it manufactured?

Grab a deal with the Capcom Bundle of retro games - looks good value for those of you who don't own these games already. www.humblebundle.com/games/capcom...
4 mins - toasted soldiers a must!
Most likely a repost bot from the other site?
Fully embedded into your OS then? 😂
I particularly liked this quote at the end: Of course, the best part of a quarter-century have flowed past since this interview.
Update: The chicken order was shipped via Evri, and delivered Across The Road.
They used to dish out cards with your number on. I got (what equates to) a postcard, my son got what looked like a debit card. Time moves forward I guess.
Is it still a card?
🤣
Top top suggestion!
Apparently, Ozempic makers are suffering mounting pressures in the rapidly expanding weight-loss sector. Irony in those words somewhere.
Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure xkcd.com/3138/
![Comic. Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure. [mockup of “2x4” piece of wood showing the dimensions as 1½“ by 3 ½“] Dimensional lumber sizes are tricky. A “2x4” is actually 1½“ by 3 ½“, and a “1x8” is ¾“ by 7⅛“. [two tape measures: one is labeled 12’, the other 12’*] If you know someone into carpentry or woodworking, get them our *dimensional lumber tape measure*. [A “normal tape measure” with even increments and a “dimensional lumber tape measure” with increments at different lengths for each inch] *Don’t tell them you got it*—just leave it in their toolbox.

He doesn't want to show up Lewis-Skelly for some reason by putting Djed on. Which is a shame, because it needs to happen.
Didn’t realise he’d recorded Tarzan Boy!
Very much so.
Nah. I’m reading it in a Morgan Freeman tone of voice.
Victims suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
Am feeling suitably soothed. Thank you. ❤️
Perfect time would have been when he managed us, but he didn’t, sadly.
Two Greeks butting heads - what could possibly go wrong???
I've just used this handy tool to migrate my pins to bookmarks. Worked a treat. 🔖
Our malware systems at Sonatype seem to be picking these up coming from other, not yet reported accounts. This attack seems to have landed more publishers as this unfolds. Check your accounts folks while we work with others to contain.
More expensive and it must be stored in the fridge (compared to the cupboard for the usual). Obviously all in fridge when open!
Maple wood right? …right?
Tried to respond so that it added to the alt text, rather than a criticism.
You buy special rails from Ikea and fix those to the walls. Then cabinets are hooked and locked onto them. I build our Ikea kitchen.

Sheer innocent, huh?
Sylvester McCoy is missing in the alt-text.
Sounds to me as though they were on the wrong stream. Plonker.
Has England regressed under Tuchel? Hell yes. They're also the most BORING team to watch ever - and that's saying something, especially when there are so many quality players available to him. I guess the real question is - should England remove Tuchel and appoint another?

Get him trained up more, and better rested between league games, makes him available for cup runs too.
Check this out! Elite models rotating freely on the ZX Spectrum Next. Some excellent work by @breakintoprogram.co.uk
Maybe they're hoping we'll collectively forget?
I'm thinking the former, especially if Staveley is involved at any point in the process. Words released by the club were shaped to calm, how many times have things like that been said, and the exact opposite occurs? I won't be surprised when it happens. I just hope it's not fatal.
Happy Birthday. Early present yesterday?
Ah. Run out of money have they?
Haha! Love it! Amazing work getting it working so smoothly on the Next mate.
