The Welsh Mountain Zoo is a good one. And not massive, so you can get round it easily in a morning or afternoon

Percy Pig cake sold as a "cake sandwich" with percy pig sweets in it
They also sell these now. So theres that.
Its always Bandcamp Saturday for me, living in NZ. Most of the correspondence happens while I'm asleep and I miss it all.
Timezones muck everything up when measured over a 24hr period. If they made it the weekend it would solve lots of problems worldwide!
If the engine reliability is like this on Sunday the only cars finishing the race will be Ferrari.

Say it with me:
A diagram is only useful:
To express the specific need it is solving,
In the context it needs to do it,
For the length of time both those things hold true.
Then it has expired.
Don't get attached to your diagrams and redraw often!

Windows 11 has been bad with copilot shoved in everything, but windows 12 is gonna be a whole new level of AI Slop if this is accurate.

Thanks for helping to clear up my questions ☺️
Thankyou! That context was missing for me in the messaging ☺️
I'm Confused about the 11ty/build awesome news.
What does this mean for those of us running 11ty sites, do I need to move to a new build process etc?
This all feels very wordpress which was what I was avoiding by using 11ty in the first place 😕
RIP Macromedia. If Adobe hadn't acquired them we may have been saved.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Print that on a t-shirt. 😂
Literally, at work this morning:
Clinician: Patient should stop medication A, but must keep taking medication B.
AI VR transcription of this: Patient should stop taking medication B.
Seriously NEVER LET A DOCTOR USE AI FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS. NEVER. UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES.
Oh crap its started. My parents have started emailing me "fun AI videos" they created.
Looks like its time to sit them down and have THE conversation. 🙄
Literally dealt with this problem today (and to make it more inconsistent) in the summary it converts the month back to words. Just pick one format and be consistent!
