A commissioning editor gave me a load of feedback on a book proposal which appeared to be AI generated too. It was a ton of “great” ideas which all totally lacked critical thought or understanding of the remit of the book. It was all “great! What about doing this too!” There’s big pushback in ...

Ugh this is so shitty and horrendous timing with the trade-in too. Sincerely hope the police can do something with all the evidence they've got and catch the knobheads.

According to to AI…

Not automatic abandonment : A car is only legally abandoned if it shows signs of neglect, such as being untaxed, having flat tyres, broken windows, missing number plates, or sitting unmoved in the same spot for a very long time.

So try to get the mobile of an “Irishman of no ...

They’re all in the same location, next year I will move one to the woods. The honey from the 2 hives is very different. The most surprising thing was that one batch was far sweeter. I checked the moisture content and both were at 18% but apparently it’s down to more fructose rather than glucose ...

Very cool! Great honey harvest too. Are you going to sell it or keep it for personal use? Are the hives all in the same location or different places and was there any difference in the honey between them?

I did a honey tasting of about 15 different honeys earlier in the year and the breadth of ...

Community rehab is supposed to be quite effective when done well, however I guess this wasn't, so the early releases simply acted like they'd been let off school early so went on a bender instead.

I’m pretty sure a couple of Uk YouTubers have tried to get a cybertruck on the road in the UK. Yiannimize and Mark McCann iirc

Looks like an epic adventure and an absolute dream for the kids, they must have loved it!

That’s good to know, fingers crossed

It really is crazy in London, this was a two lane dual carriageway with a central reservation. Admittedly residential too, but nonetheless, it’s verrrry easy to creep above 22 without thinking.

I’ve been busted by a mobile rozzer camera for doing 28 in a 20. Goddamn it, hoping for speed awareness course, I only just got back to 0 points last year.

There's a fairly big difference between driving like a cvnt after committing crimes while trying to evade police, and someone in the car happens to record it and post it on Snapcaht or TikTok, vs actually intentionally driving like a cvnt simply to make a video about it.

Absolutely adding the A66 crash to this thread

That looked impressively fast and controlled

What a cool little car, would love to take this off you if I were in the market for a runabout right now.

Or a friend in full time education for a small discount, although only around 5% IIRC, when Amazon offers similar discocunts by default

I’m a Mac faithful and have had several MacBook Pros over the last 20 years, and the recent MacBooks really are astounding. I got an M3 Pro in May 2024 and it’s easily the best MacBook I’ve ever had. I regularly edit 30-60 minute 4K videos on it and it doesn’t even break a sweat. After over two ...

Interesting how Trump didn’t sue over this panorama episode

I love how his $10bn claim against the BBC is going :lol: he's discovering that when a media organisation aren't American nor rely on his policies they can't be as easily bullied.

The BBC requested his financial records as part of discovery, and Trump then filed an emergency request to delay ...

As someone with severe portion instability, I like Pistachios as it allows paced consumption, unlike cashews which result in giant fistfulls at a time.


I realised today that this is also true for Nocellara olives (my clear favourite - salty buttery loveliness with no need for any other ...
