Hard nope. Our Sunday trading laws have been outdated for decades. There's no justification that a minority of people still get to force their "special" day onto everybody. I think a floating weekend would be a better solution: I would love to swap Sunday with Wednesday as a day off.

My granddad in his late 80s used his computer most days to design things, write things, email things, view websites, deal with accounts for himself and a charity he volunteered for. It's not age, it's attitude. Also, a 1975 birth is not old. Please tell me it's not old.

It's a mostly midlands and northern thing to call it tig. I always thought southerners were just channelling Americans when they called it tag until I realised it's just one of the many weird ways of speaking they do.

Its What3Words accounts filing day! They're doing so great. Nothing to worry about. I'm sure "the launch of our advertising revenue stream" will offset the "lost major Enterprise customer". Ads are really profitable now, right? find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/0843...

WHAT3WORDS LIMITED
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Financial key performance indicators

The Group's total loss for the year was £12,234,738 (2024: loss £10,644,836)
The increase in reported loss compared with the prior year was driven primarily by the fair value adjustment
relating to convertible loan notes recognised in 2024, which reduced the overall reported loss in that year.
Operating loss for the year was £12,828,534 (compared with £14,133,347 in 2024). The underlying operating
performance of the business remained focused on revenue growth, product investment and disciplined cost
management.

The group has continued to maintain a dynamic operating model, balancing investment in growth initiatives
across key markets with careful control of operating expenditure and cash runway.

At 31 December 2025, the group had net assets of £10,925,686 (2024: £15,659,513). Assets were
predominantly comprised of cash and cash equivalents totaling £6,493,450 (2024: £11,705,453) and term
deposits of £2,649,047 (2024: £5,948,370).

I get around 25 - 30 days out of my instinct 2 solar. Less if I track and activity, more if I'm being lazy. Certainly makes a lot of difference from my old Vivoactive.

One of the problems is that they undertake when you're *still* overtaking. I've had other drivers come from lane 2, pass me, and then move into lane 3 with mm to spare from the car I'm overtaking. Similar has happened whilst I'm leaving a safe gap before I pull in after an overtake.

Although I hate Chris Rea, his blandness and the horrible timbre of his voice, I think I would've preferred that to the brass band music my dad chose to listen to. My sprogs get played metal and they should bloody well get used to it.

A few years ago, I was working on making a dungeon crawler for the Sharp MZ-80A. It used a mix of traditional character graphics and pseudographics. Development eventually stopped, and it's been sitting around collecting dust since then.

Joachim has put together an awesome package here full of his great games for the Sharp MZ and to top it off he created a really cool manual in the style of the old club newsletters we used to have back in the day. It's a fun read but also looks so cool. Please check it out! ko-fi.com/s/f0e274af58

I broach this with my mother every time and keep trying to get her to move closer. Even her recent stay in hospital, and my having to drive up and work from her house (3 hours away) hasn't gotten her to put something in place. Strong willed septu- and octogenarians are a pain.

I used to do comment threads asking popular LLMs to draw things. Sometimes they started okay, then they went a tad insane. I started with plug wiring diagrams. Though they did get betterer. Saying that, Gemini just gave me a decent one. ChatGPT's looked good until you read closer.

BitD, my mother was doing an OU degree, where she did one module in computing, which required programming in Pascal, she got said Pascal language for our MZ-700. She still goes on about how one night she got me out of bed to ask me how things worked. I have no memory of this.

This is why I never got on with computing at university: it's all number theory maths, which may be technically correct, but it's a massive pain to apply to anything real.

Flight back from the US in steerage, somebody in the row behind me shat themselves about an hour into the flight. The seat was covered in tape and plastic. The shitee was led off, presumable somewhere they could be cleaned up and never seen again. I suppose that's one way of getting an upgrade.
