Bottoms up: TV remotes, vapes and Lego removed from rectums at English hospitals
A boiled egg, a door handle, and a potato were among the more bizarre items removed

it is my firm belief that alan turing would be horrified to learn that 80 years later we're still using his first attempt to define machine intelligence as the gold standard, having done fuck all to refine it based on knowledge and experience gained from working with y'know, actual computers

Photo of the automatic gearbox controls of an old Ikarus bus (maybe a 280? Please don't shoot me, bus nerds.) It's a series of buttons:

B - for parking brake
R - for reverse
I - for constant high gear ratio
II - for constant not-so-high gear ratio (i guess)
A - for automatic
N - for neutral

i once had this fun idea of writing a skinner box game where you could compare your results to those achieved by pigeons i started writing it, the game itself was done in an evening and then i got to the "right, so how do we collect all this data ethically" part and that's where the project ended

pornolizer dot com was a big hit on the hungarian internet, partly due to its method of inserting random swearwords into sentences not quite working with our grammar, and partly due to the quaintness and quirkiness of said swearwords

I pay more attention to new music than probably the average person, and even so, a 6Music host will say 'coming up we've got some Wobbly Ghosts, new music from Mr Grub, and a little treat from Dave On Fire' and for all I know they could easily be making all of these artists up.

#MiniHungarianLanguageLesson: friday idiom today's idiom is "örülj, hogy lyuk van a seggeden", or in english "be glad/grateful that you've got a hole in your arse" it's how we express that things could be a whole lot worse

some rambling thoughts on all this: we have a tight-knit group of friends, we mostly met in our early-to-late teens and now we're in our late 40s/early 50s and still very much enjoy each others' company

as a slight tangent, i've been seeing a new form of ai boosterism in tech recently, and it broadly goes like this: "of course while you're learning to develop software, you should do so manually cos learning is important, only switch to agentic bullshit when you start to do it professionally"

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

ngl, when i once felt the need to step in on some "banter" that i felt was about to go in an alarming direction, it felt terrifying not because it was me against everyone else (that normally doesn't faze me) but because what if i had misread the situation and i'm overreacting?

as a foreigner i haven't grown up with b on t, and yeah it does feel like a weird idea but it's perfectly fine and i think part of what made it feel weird is that it vaguely looks like the kind of beans you get in tins elsewhere, which would absolutely not be exciting on toast

a lot of classic fantasy ttrpgs fail to explicitly address it but widespread and relatively easy access to magical healing renders a lot of traditional plotlines unusable for lore purposes

many years back arrived in work to find everyone looking out of one window. there was a car upside down at the bottom of an embankment beside the office car park which was quite a sight to see manager's phone rang and one of the team was on the other end saying "so you can probably see my car..."
