Boo. I noticed CoPilot reappered at the top of Bing (yeah I know. Whatever) search results for me. Went to turn it off again.
Couldn't find it in the settings anymore. It turns out they removed the option to turn it off.

Ahh the old "extracting the materials for a single marble from a toilet with a sledgehammer". Oldest marbling trick in the book.

Ah of course. I've done this a bunch of times by mistake, but never clocked it was just happening on target and I always removed them thinking it was wrong or would do something inconsistent..... So you can just drag as many items to target as you like and it runs for each.
You can just plug multiple wires into Target and it will imply an array under the hood

I just idly tried this as a joke & it worked. In Unreal Blueprints if you set a function's Target as an array of them, it calls it for each item!? Want to hide multiple things? Just give SetVisibility an array of scene components to hide instead of looping. Years without noticing this..... #gamedev

Pretty tempted by this. It looks great & it's got such a pleasing looking action. It's compact & loopable compared with other logic marble things. But it also looks like a lovely toy if you just want to send some balls on a journey without getting too puzzley.

Hey, Apple asked me to check that you are OK and getting the emails about your iCloud storage being full? Apparently they've sent you loads for ages and you haven't replied or done anything.

Hello hayfever, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a pollen softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the pollen that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of sniffling... And itchy eyes... Ya bastard.
