Popular media shows Santa's sleigh as red no matter which way it's flying, or even when it's standing still.
It's not. When it's parked, it's green. But most observers only see it flying away after making a delivery, hence the red shift.
And if you're lucky to see it inbound it's blue with a hint of UV-A. Wear sunglasses.

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆

AI companies are raising at valuations that require them to grow at rates that are only achievable by chasing the broadest possible market with the most generic possible product.
A company that raises at a $500M valuation needs to show a path to billions in revenue,
which means it can't afford to be a niche tool that does one thing brilliantly for a specific audience.
It has to be a platform, horizontal, aimed at enterprise, built for no one in particular.
Ever…

Everyone in AI is building the wrong thing for the same reason
Every AI founder I talk to is on an accelerating treadmill, burdened by a nagging suspicion that the entire industry is moving too fast in a direction that doesn't quite make sense, with no idea about how to get off. There is an overwhelming feeling that if everyone stopped and

In a groundhog day loop of explaining why this hierarchical model cannot effectively be represented in the unified flat format they're trying to push. You can absolutely represent it in a flattened way, but it requires breaking out the child components into their own collection.
We end, once again, with the telling pause of disinterest and multitasking, followed by a distracted "mmm hmm" and promises to circle back on it later.

Welp, after a day or two of fermentation and a few hours preparing the accompaniments, like the potato filling, the 'gunpowder' to sprinkle over it, and both tomato and coconut chutneys (all made from scratch, even involving cracking a fresh coconut!), I've made my first ever dosas. I'm quite chuffed by the result. It's a lot of work for a one-off...

I'm just reviewing some old(er) video I recorded quite a while ago ... and I admit that I'm eager to record in higher quality!
But hey, it's all a learning curve. I'm not feeling bad about the bad quality. I regard it pretty nice to see the advancement over time!

It’s worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, originator of the bad deductive rule in question, spent his later years falling for and vehemently defending a variety of hoaxes involving fairies and communicating with the dead:

State Representative James Talarico, and his recent interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:
CBS said it did not block the interview from airing, but provided legal guidance that broadcasting it could trigger the Federal Communications Commission’s equal-time rule.
Colbert’s show instead posted the interview on YouTube.
When CBS Austin asked about Talarico announcing he's raised $2.5 million in the 24 hours following the interview, Jasmine Crockett said,
