I asked Google Gemini about how long a firefighters air supply would last with 200 bar (work related).

It addressed the question well, then, without prompting, ‘drew’ me a picture of ‘a firefighter in Breathing Apparatus’.

- he’s got tanks on his back, but is not wearing a respirator. He’s dead 🪦

The Tank Museum is basically next door to Monkey World. If the shit really hits the fan let’s hope it doesn’t turn into a “Planet of the Apes” scenario, where the apes have a divisions worth of Cold War armour.

Not much of a gap in intellect between a smart monkey and a tanker 🙂

As serious historians, we should also consider that it took junction 8 and the M23. The officers may have preferred a M&S lunch from Pease Pottage Services.

NZ defence forces: can’t sink a shipping container, can sink out own maritime survey vessel.

There was a major screwup a few days ago where a show was remastered (from HD 1080 to Ultra HD 4K) but the post house that did it forgot to render one layer of the visual effects - the one that masked where crew were in shot.

Could be something like that? Show got pulled immediately.

The subscription thing in Apple has been a proper money saver for me.

I asked Google’s AI a technical question about breathing apparatus for fire fighters. It answered the question well, then decided to draw me a picture of “a firefighter wearing breathing apparatus”

A: Why?
B: No he’s not, this dude has no mask/respirator would have died of smoke inhalation.

Don’t help the #MTG redemption arc. She’s the worst of the worst.

The woman who claimed school shootings were staged, wildfires started by Jewish controlled space lasers, defended J6 coup participants etc is resigning 2 days after becoming eligible for pension, and is now trying to be a good guy?

Fair enough, I hadn’t ever given it any thought.

In Aus we call these police cars “Paddy Wagons”.

Apparently a reference from British police arresting so many Irish (Paddy’s) and throwing them in the back.

My only hot-take is that the much mocked Apple Mouse (no buttons, charging port underneath) is actually amazing for the work it’s intended for.

If your editing video/audio, having a mouse that doubles as a tiny trackpad is great.

Looks like the inbred cousin of Christian Bale (in American Psycho).

Moreso that British rail tickets are more expensive per mile than any network in the world, they’re also slow, unreliable, poor amenities and frequently crowded.

All these are same day, similar distance from capital city.

Spain: £55, 1hr 19mins
Germany: £35. 1hr 40mins
UK: £176, 2hr 6mins
