Finished our first room renovation! Tore out the old builtin wardrobe and minging carpet, replaced skirting board and coving, plastered where the old wardrobe was, laid new flooring, painted. Took ages but happy with it on the whole!
Learnt a lot! Surface on the teal wall is pretty poor due to bad surface prep and thinking paint was more forgiving than it actually is, so will redo that in the new year, and flooring could be laid a bit better with practice. But very happy on the whole!<…

'The problem here is not that Bongino is engaging in punditry. When properly done, pundits make arguments based on facts and reasoning. Bongino, by his own account, was doing something else entirely: He was telling his audience that the bombing was an inside job was a fact, when it was not only not true but also not based on any real circumstantial evidence.'

This is quite fundamental, a judge saying "ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith"

It is silly and ludicrous to lump privacy-preserving webpage translation with GenAI and chatbots and LLMs. While I don't _regularly_ use the translation feature, I absolutely appreciate that the alternative would be something like Google Translate, a materially worse outcome. And, as others have pointed out, bundling a translation tool into the browser makes the web more accessible for people who do not know English. That is a good thing!

Y’know, I saw a lot of electorate offices graffitied in my youth, and were I the kind of mouthbreathing incel who gets off on venial hate crimes, I’d have sprayed my pithy opinion over the top of the corflutes in the window to emphasise my point, not off to the side where it's easily cleaned and doesn't interfere with the MP's branding.
Just saying.
