A TV panel show based on strange facts suggested that was actually possible. Imagine sitting down and reading a sign that said "wet paint" 😆

Apparently the behaviours that FB encourage to get your 5p per thousand are the very things the bots jump on. The guy doesn't sell his photos or anything else and is just trying to earn enough to cover his travel. I think he has three months income impounded by the unsupervised moderator.

There's a guy on FB who posts stuff about older cars. If he asks things like "which is your favourite in this picture" the AI moderation jumps in and and restricts his account for seeking engagement. Meta need some actual employees to oversee their trigger-happy bots.

I used to use Vista and Pro on my Amiga. Stock 68000 processor and 3mb RAM took a whole Saturday to produce enough frames for a few seconds of a flyover animation.

Could be worse, they could have let me near the printing process.

I've seen them being fed at a wildlife sanctuary. Apparently they will even attack keepers they know for breathing in an offensive manner.

Love the Ood. I rendered a box suitable to ship one with the addition of a post-it a while back.

A packing box with the words ensure your goods arrive in perfect condition. The G in goods has been covered with a drawing of an Ood from Dr Who, so the word reads as Oods.

I'm always saying that sort of thing to the Mrs if I see a Vauxhall "parked" in a hedge or ditch. They probably got so bored of driving it they simply let go of the controls mid journey.

A possible nickname for future use if you need something slightly offensive.

A snickers bar with the K from a KitKat stuck over the first letter. The KitKat is held behind to make the phrase chunky knickers appear.

That'll be proudly shared by some illiterate reform voter with the tag "Save are bins", because everyone knows painting St George on something protects it from immigrants.

If it's Win 11 a clean re-install can get quite a bit of performance back. The worst OS since DOS 4.00 clogs itself up at quite an alarming rate.

I've got at least one 500, a 600HD and a modded 1200 in my loft - wrapped in newspaper and padded in case the boxes get knocked. Unfortunately I didn't think about removing the clock batteries 20 odd years ago, d'oh!

I can't see any reason why income above what you need to live on shouldn't be taxed at a rate similar to the rest of it. If you earn a ridiculous amount surely contributing more won't leave you struggling to feed your household.

Looks very good. I'm probably due for one if I could potentially erm... toilet on my split ends when my hair is damp and hanging straight.

Ahh, the Grande Punto. The basis of my last Alfa, but without the inboard taillight clusters that contribute to most of the electrical issues.

I'm pretty sure that if a real athlete had a rapid unscheduled disassembly or burnt themselves to a crisp after crossing the line there would be issues claiming the medal.

They look ultra cool. My last purchase of plasters was Marvel superhero ones so I could have Hulk guarding my hurty finger.

That actually looks nice. After seeing your previous post I suddenly remembered that gong was a medieval slang word for a cow pat and was imagining something horribly different.

Dunno what a gong bath is, but a great many things are enhanced by the mere presence of Alpacas.

I keep hearing a possibly Glaswegian dialect phrase in the build up to this game. Is "Lambing yer maw" something that is part of the half time show?

You just reminded me of my favourite rock cover band name of all time - Geoff Leopard. Probably not active anymore as they were touring in the 90s.

Still around 30 and ferociously humid here. I'm having a Spanish latte and a sarnie in the supermarket coffee shop just to sit in air-con for a few minutes.

It's already covered by age verification to log in. Well done for banning people from something they couldn't access in the first place.

💚beginning to seriously consider actually meeting people I don't literally have to. I think having a car where I couldn't trust the electrics to get me home again may have added to the anxiety of going out.

Closest to that I had was a later model 1.8 with a nice suspension kit. Handled really well, but about double the 0-60 of the cossie.

"The nassty yellow eye, it burns us my precious" is my standard response to going outside on a day like today. Unfortunately I have cladding to saw for my porch. At least I can work from the car boot and hide under the hatch.

I haven't got a photo to post, but I will send some love for that car. Autobianchi? Don't think I've seen one in the metal.

A small bottle of petrol would trade quite well - if that doesn't work a rag in the top and waving a lighter around can be used as a form of persuasion.

Good job for the scale, metallics always look a bit dubious as you get smaller. As an ex model shop manager I'd give that nine out of ten.

I keep seeing potentially interesting looking games on Steam. Oh! it was released by EA, I'm no longer considering that then. I won't touch anything after they started the pay monthly to play the game you already paid for system.

Win11 is a lot more hungry on background processes than 10 was. Go up a processor generation and a ram size from what you thought you might need.
