I gave in to the marketing and bought a @madeincookware “25 cm” frying pan. First observation is that every dimension listed on the website is wrong. 😑

Every single day at ~11pm I type “good night”. Every single day my phone suggests “morning” and “luck”.

This post makes a lot of good points regarding AI imposter syndrome

I’m not saying you can’t or shouldn’t use AI, but if someone with a blue tick is telling you “this changes everything”, they’re probably trying to sell you their shitty course.

If you’re not using AI for everything, it’s ok, don’t worry, you’re not being left behind. 😌 Most of the AI hype I see on here is just that: hype. I’d say in its current form, AI is mildly useful for moderately simple tasks.

Top tip, if you’re cycling on a narrow-ish road that has a pained cycle lane, ignore it completely. Cycle in the middle of the lane. Paint does more harm than good here. It makes drivers think they can pass you without leaving *any* space, as long as they don’t cross the line.

I’ve always tried to stay to the left when cycling to make it easier for drivers to overtake. But too many of them close pass. So now I cycle firmly in the middle of the lane. 🤷‍♂️

My flat contains: • 17 smart bulbs • 19 regular bulbs 14 of the smart bulbs are IKEA. I think they’re now an obvious choice over Hue: much, much cheaper and the published CRI tends to be higher.

This driver should be banned for life IMO. Clearly didn’t learn anything from the previous incident.

Here's a bit more about the cyclist/red car collision that many people thought was me. The driver was banned for six months, well deserved. https://t.co/1b40swh2Zw

I’ve finally got everything hooked up to the AV receiver (PS1–4, Apple TV, cassette deck). The latest change being a Sony component cable to squeeze slightly better quality out of the PS2.

Completely disassembled my PS2 (again) to replace the CR2032 battery inside. Now it can remember the time again!

Something needs to be done about how many drivers use their phones while driving. I’d say in every queue of slow moving traffic I walk past, 1 in 5 drivers are on their phone. I’ve just seen someone scrolling Instagram Reels WHILE MOVING.
