The aisle on that ai generated train is so wide you could fit a pacer down the middle of it.

I do continue to sprinkle a small amount of cheap powder into the pre-wash though. :)

I used powder for a long time thanks to you but recently switched back precisely because, as you mention, store brand powder formulation just isn’t very good. For £12 I get 74 pods/16p per. By contrast EcoGeek is £33.60 (w/shipping) for ~40 washes/84p per. Sadly for Brits it works out >5x the cost

The “art” in those ai colouring books don’t even make sense and often can’t actually be coloured. All the lines are blurred, smeary or just mushed together. Colouring books have 1 job and the ai fails at that.

The “funny cat video” genre is now totally fucked by Ai slop flooding the platforms. I think there might be a place for these AI videos for memes and amusement (cats at Olympics for example) but when they depict fairly basic fails or go for realism I can’t feel the same way watching them.

It’s why my next vehicle is going to be a minivan. Every suv crossover looks the same, is less convenient than a hatchback and has less boot space than an estate.

I just heard via Lisa Downs (Life After… movies). She only mentioned last week about how he’s going to play a part in the new Goonies doc she’s filming. She was fortunate to interview his son and meet with Drew briefly in his studio.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to just expect the NHS number into some form of universal ID?
