Happy Birthday!

Fit the ships with wheels so they can go over the land? 🤣

The Laced Jedi

It was definitely Tack Bell (which I'd never heard of at the time) when I first saw it in the UK on TV. Only recently have I seen the version with Pizza Hut.

I got one too, but I did set up an account to try out ChatGPT some time back. I found it mostly useless so haven't used it since.

Falcor!

It's looking like 7 years for recouping the costs of my solar and batteries including installation costs. Southeast UK. I had them installed in August '22 and have saved nearly 50% of the total cost so far. Most of the savings in winter are from charging overnight at cheap rate.

I got a new T-shirt for Christmas. You'll not be surprised to hear it's black. But it's not my usual plain black...

Being wary...

OMG How did I not notice this before. I used to work in the basement under the Harrow Club! I saw that window (from the outside) every day.

Several of the regulars in my local run a tab. Most of them seem to pay it off at the end of the session though.

I don't have one because I don't go there very often.

I just mentioned this to my wife (52) and she gave me a blank look as well. She does know about the series, but apparently not that well.

I've got a Samsung USB DVD writer that I've had for over 15 years. It's always worked well (with linux) for reading and writing CDs and DVDs. That model isn't available now and I don' know what the newer ones are like.

If you can't find anything, PM me and I'll lend you mine until dwcon.

We only see our fox at night.

'ello!

A female fox eats nuts and dried fruit from the ground at night.

We've got a new regular night-time visitor to our garden. First one in over 25 years!

Yes, allow a third term. That could let Obama get back in!

We'll see you there!

That is being consider for the UK now. I'd like to add one or two of those setups to go with my existing rooftop solar.

My wife, on noticing some bruising on her arm after surgery: It's shaped like the Bat symbol. I shall call it my Bat Bruise.

Me: Is its secret identity Bruise Wayne?

Would putting "Legal" in the title/description help, I wonder?

Rail replacement buses for the whole weekend too. So much for public transport :-(

Or a Firefly?

Essex UK, Early 60s, Mum.

Our local council have been doing this for years. This year they have started charging for the collection of garden waste as that is not on the list of things they need to collect. Maybe these new rules will change that.

we don’t buy american cars because they are bad and we don’t buy american beef because it is poisonous.

I was thinking that the scandal of Tesla's being sold on the White House lawn by Chump and Mucks would become known as "Elongate", but that's a bit of a stretch.

Do Tesla make golf carts?

Chatting with a (UK) Solar Installer last week. They told me that their sales of Tesla PowerWalls have dropped significantly recently. 🙂

I'm sorta surprised that he didn't blame the commercial flight for his firework exploding.
