Actually, no. It was this xmas card.

Although I’m only seeing 45 right now, and I’d normally get quite a lot more this time of day.

Still appears to be plenty up there:

Mine’s noticeably down today compared to yesterday, mostly because of rain. I mainly see planes over France from here.

Recent graffiti in Brighton. The spiders here are *massive*.

LLMs just spit out “what an answer might look like”. It’s a response not an answer. In well written-about subjects that response will be correct. In novel areas it might also be correct (statistics, right) but it‘s more likely to be tosh. Like this.

One of my hobbies is demonstrating just what utter nonsense LLMs churn out:

These are nice, although nowhere near as nice as they used to be.

The stupid thing about my ADS-B (plane detector) setup is that I get the best results with an indoor mag-mount antenna on the edge of a thick metal plate which is tilted down slightly, and with the antenna squashed up against the double glazing. Works better than a proper outdoor antenna. Bonkers!

This is a post on arsebook where I was tagged in a comment because a friend thought I’d be amused. Loads of comments saying what nonsense this is. A few backing up the OP. But here’s the thing. The person has ‘professional mode’ switched on. This means they get money for engagement. 1/2

May I introduce you to this bootleg:

If was part five other than six. I was able to scroll through it (see thumbnail) but didn’t watch it because I didn’t want to watch the episodes out of order. It now says upcoming. But you can see from the thumbnail that I was able to see it previously.

Watching the outdoor temps to see when it's safe to leave my air-conditioned loveliness and go for my daily leg stretch. Looks like it might be a while yet. Yesterday afternoon cooled down significantly faster.

Just re-framed our Picasso. OK, it's a print rather than a painting, but it is an original from 1949. Once saw the same poster in a Picasso exhibition at the Tate Liverpool. Theirs wasn't as well preserved. I love it most for the peace theme. We need more of that.

My 12yo great-nephew crocheted a Donald Trump. And even he realised the significance of the red tie.

Given up and put the aircon on. Always amazes me how little leccy it uses (four unit split, inverter heat pump). Only really use it on sunny days for cooling, so there‘s no energy impact, but it doesn’t use the full generation.

Are you sure it wasn’t someone telling you to duck?

I have this running on a Raspberry Pi with a microphone listening to my garden. It uses the same recognition engine as Merlin, but runs 24/7. Not perfect - like Merlin it sometimes makes mistakes - but great fun.

EV full, battery full, immersion tank up to temp. I suppose it’s only fair to let the grid have some.
