Seen a few #youtube ppl excited about a certain tip for drilling a hole vertically, by attaching a small spirit bubble to the back of the drill - like my drill has had for 15 or so years. In fairness, not all drills do, but it's really not *that* #revolutionary #diy #handy #life

AI isn't inherently evil. The people that develop it are;

screen grab of a post to a mailing list. The text reads as follows

our admin asked me to post this on the status of dev.gnupg.org:

The GnuPG project has been facing increasing AI scraper attacks for
more than a year, but now the situation switched to SYN flood attacks.
We are dealing with the situation, but for the moment our development
server with the bugtracker is not available to the public world.

We are working on a solution which keeps the community involved in
contributing to the project, but for the moment inconvenience cannot
be avoided.

We regret to be forced acting this way, but the AI driven attacks don't
leave much of a choice.

Not the best shot somebody (not me) ever took of a grave stone. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Photograph of a grave stone demonstrating poor technique.

1. The image is not centered in the frame, so some of the inscription is missing.
2. The photographer used flash on a reflective marble. The resulting blaze obscures some of the inscription.
3. The image is not quite in focus, bu not so badly out of focus to render the image useless.

Hi, I'm Oscar. I'got a nice soft blanket to lay on, but I prefer to curl up in this rather uncomfortable box.

Cat sat in a box, next to a blanket placed there specifically for him.

I wonder how old the person was that came up with this colour scheme? Pizza, anyone? #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #FMP

Family History tree with a very poor choice of colours.

Cyan, Purple, Yellow, Blue and Black, with the yellow being too powerful.

Some excellent packing there.....

An assortment of boxes tins and pouches of cat food in an shipping box that's far too large. There is no packing material to stop the contents moving. Fortunately, the only damage was to the wrapper around a sachet.

No cat food was lost.

"I'm dressed like a slob, today" Yeah, right, Bella. That crop top probably cost more than I earn in a year.

Yes, Oscar, you _should_ be embarrassed. 😀
