Best thing about my partner returning from the US?

She got me some of the awesome sleep-aid tablets you can buy over there no questions asked that here you can only get the weak version off with a prescription.

Someone I know coming home from the US normally means a couple of months of good sleep.

Also, it’s nice knowing I can now say how fucked up the US is right now. Both she and I have been keeping our US related posting low key so she wouldn’t have any problems getting in and working there for a few weeks. All went well, all was organised long before he won.

Waiting in Heathrow arrivals for my partner coming back from Miami. Really world class people watching, literally every sort of person coming by and then stopping to work out how the hell to get to London.

There are 3 sorts of train, we don’t make it easy.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Half time at Leicester City games they'd get local kids to race a relay around the pitch and it'd normally be the highlight of the entire match.

Usually watched with a balti pie in hand.

That's peak entertainment.

So I’m giving Starfleet academy a go, currently on episode 3.

This is a very thirsty Star Trek, like it’s 60% sexual tension.

Coders are currently going to through the same thing Artist have been for the last few years.

Non-coders say that LLMs can do our job, aka people who have no idea what our job actually entails.

"Look I vibe coded a checklist app!"

Literally, that's the second tutorial after Hello World.

this is a great point and to that end: why isn't Anthropic building a salesforce competitor or whatever? Surely they could with the magic of Claude Code based on all the crap I've read
Once again: if these LLMs could actually do all the things their owners claim, they wouldn’t be selling access. They would be building and selling all the things they claim their software can do.

Vanguard sent me a survey as a recent new customer. I normally fill these things in to give feedback as that's good for everyone. So I click the button named "Take our survey" and...

It's crazy how variable the NHS is. My partner's GP takes being on the phone waiting for hours to get an appoint within a few days.

My GP, go on the NHS app, answer a few questions, 20 mins later get a call asking if I can be there in 20 mins, 5 mins later and I've got the prescription I'm done.

Quoted a company a couple of months ago for some in house backup servers. Came back with the go ahead, re-quoted the order from my B2B supplier and it's now nearly double the price thanks to RAM and NVMe. Now they aren't going ahead, but are going to check in 6 months to see if prices are better.

So when the dentist says “only soft food for the next 2-3 days”

He meant angel delight right? And only angel delight.
