Look what top lad @MarkRJones1970 sent me. The first three games I wrote for the Spectrum! Takes me back to sitting on the edge of the bed squinting at code on the TV. Good times 😀

It has Lidar so it maps out the room and plans it’s route rather than random walk. It stores the trash in the charging station so you don’t have to empty it every time. Also more suction and has a mop attachment. Win, win, win, win!

My only problem was you need to get an app for it and it wasn’t in the Jamaican app store. There are ways around that but it took an hour or so

Kirk outlives Picard? Good luck to them both

I went with my ex Mrs to her tax preparer appointment. She had some 1099 from selling stocks with zero basis. I knew that wasn’t right because I had paid the basis!

I checked with Claude on my phone and I was right! It cited the IRS regulation and various exceptions that didn’t apply

AI is gonna screw the whole tax preparer industry. And if they don’t know the basics, I can’t feel too bad for them

Bad crash at the end of our road. 3 cars involved and I can’t work out how the heck they ended up where they were. It seems to have triggered a community meeting amongst my neighbours

Fair. Ngl my stereotype sex offender is incel loser. No idea what makes married, good-looking, successful guys act like this

Judge Caproni: I am not however going to agree to their request, 15 years. Oren Alexander, please rise. I sentence you to 30 years, 10 years of supervised release. You can sit down. Alon Alexander, I sentence you to 30 years

Hmmm. It’s a more widely shared opinion than I thought. teapawt.org/anecdotal/status/21150…

Then again @tylercowen thinks Elizabeth Holmes shouldn’t be in jail, so maybe he’s ‘off base’ here

Can they sack Carrick at half time? 😂

Im only watching this because they have the Hull City/Brentford score at the bottom and cut away for any goals.

MUFC are a joke. I’m not even sure its the owners. They spend enough on players - 5th highest wage bill. I guess they appoint the sporting director who buys duds and managers who can’t make it work

Crazy idea but hear me out… Send the El Salvadoran gangsters currently in jail, to fight the Haitian gangs. Not sure who’d win but 🍿
Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo. Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba. En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora. Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos. Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros. Deuteronomio 28:7 “Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.

Outside of the actual fraudsters, it looks like George Schultz was the most culpable at Theranos. He recruited all the high profile directors. Also took the company side over his own hero whistleblower grandson

There is a bit of land round the back of my pool I’m thinking of clearing to make room for panels. I hadn’t realized there’s a fallen tree there. A 30? ft palm tree. Fell over last year during Hurricane Melissa?

I should hold a tree census. Not sure what qualifies as a tree. E.g I cut down what looked like a tree but up close it seemed like a half dozen different branches of a bush. A 12ft high bush
