Maybe. Although we conceded that many at home last week. I said then though Bournemouth are a bigger threat than Forest.

Not really, the traitor knows if they vote to end and the other two don't they are outed. So they vote to continue, and on it goes. And everyone knows the less people the more they pocket. Ultimately what you want for a suspenseful ending is TFF in the last 3 like last year. The seer doesn't help in a help in achieving this imo. To continue being interesting the production team also has to be careful in who they enrol. I think they did an okay job this year as before (save for Leanne who I really did not like), I just hope it doesn't descend into the usual Love Island crap.

Advanced economics. I remember my first regular 100 quid shop shortly after covid. Gone up 80% since then. At the same time I have stopped buying any alcohol. So almost doubled when my salary has maybe gone up 10%. On the news today that package holidays to Europe are up 10% next year too. We're the boiling frog getting poorer every year whilst being overtaken by the likes of Poland. Harumph.

He'll become a Musk employee on a zero hour contract.

Pay day sainsbury's shop today. More than £200. 'Kin hell.

MAGA and Faragists in a nutshell.

Reminds me of this.

Well you're closest to him. Hope he's okay.

I'd love to know too. Years after first hearing the term, despite asking numerous times, I'm none the wiser. Best I can come up with it means treating everyone with respect and dignity and not being prejudiced, chauvinistic and mysognystic. How terrible. 🤷‍♂️

Okay now I'm allowed to speak. Yes to all that. Charlotte tried to be too clever, Freddie understandably dropped her in it and cos Alexander had helped Frankie she won the seer and sussed out Charlotte. BUT the two new rule changes ruined it. The Seer just makes it a random chance to out a traitor. In this case the last traitor. As the seer does not have to reveal their own nature, this gives them a huge advantage. Charlotte was fucked. AND even worse is now in the final showdown nobody reveals what they are. What's the point in that? It's in everybody's interest to go down to the final 2 as that reduces the chance of a traitor AND it increases the pot for the 2 winners. This will happen every time now. And this time, because there were no traitors left, there was no suspense at all. Contrast that with S2 with Harry eviscerating Molly. Finally, imo the two most irritating contestants won, especially Leanne. Hey guys, surprise, I'm not a nail technician, I'm an ex squaddie! Amazing. Oh and Charlotte, I'm not even Welsh! Most Welsh people pretend not to be Welsh. Fucking hell, pointless. Honestly, look at it objectively, they needlessly made this series shit. Hope they rethink the next one. Next up, the fucking Apprentice.

Well let me know when we can talk about it! It's basically live TV man, the result will be on the radio etc first thing tomorrow. Really we should have had a seperate thread, like we do for football matches.

Well they fucking ruined the Traitors with the new format imo, not helped by the cast being fucking shite as well.

Never heard of iit, will give it a spin. 👍

California wild fire bill is $275 Billion and rising.

Just picking up on this, agree, but what is it with these men? Trump, Musk, people like Fox. Absolute bairns. And what I don't get is, its such an unendearing quality, spoilt narcissistic man child, I literally cannot get my head aorund their popularity. They're just so repugnant to me.

Trump wins that easily. Again, according to Bannon, the oligarchs don't even know how much Trump is in control of them, despite their billlions. I'm more interested in the fun to be had in the minions slugging it out. I mean, Zuckerberg looks like a total hostage. But surely, given he is jewish, he must be very uncomfortable with Musk's neo-Nazi shenanigans?

Ooooh I love it when you talk manly.

Yeah, I think he is like (in the mix I mean). Don't know why people are getting bothered by semantics here. Musk is a product of his environment, a privileged rich upbringing in peak apartheid South Africa. His grand parents were members of the Nazi party of Canada, according to his Dad I think. He is undoubtedly a racist, a mysogynist, a homophobe, and is on the extreme end of the spectrum of anti-trans, to the extent he shuns his own daughter. He did a literal sieg heil not once, but twice. You can call it trolling if you want, I think we ought to take it seriously. He is a racist fascist who left unopposed would imo, become full on Hitler Nazi.

Worse than this morning. I went for another walk, nothing I can't handle. Hope it fucks off soon though.

Aye, getting a decent roofer is bad enough at the best of times but after a storm?

Musk stands to lose Bigly with the following: Drill Baby Drill. People will stick to ICE cars or even switch back. Tariffs on China. This will stifle competition from superior cheaper Chinese EVs, but also increase his costs with tariffs on exports of raw materials. General disgust towards him personally, especially in Europe. I expect sales to fall as people boycott. Interesting to see what happens.

Cunt.

So, a serious post. I've just been playing about with this for, you know, my actual work. So part of my job is to do in depth critical appraisal of medical literature. Usually this takes me 1 to 2 hours per paper. I just uploaded a paper I am very familiar with. It has done in 30 seconds what it would take me to do in 2 hours. And it has done a superb job, even spotted some things I missed (but missed some thing I spotted also, for balance). I feel both excited and terrified by this. On the one hand, this can save me a lot of effort and even more time for making funny pictures. On the other, it's potentially massively deskilling and I can see it leading to mass redundancies, very quickly. The thing is, I have 20 years experience contextualising this stuff, I genuinely think my knowledge and experience is crucial for applying the work of ChatGPT to the bigger picture. Very few people and none of the kids I work with have this skillset, and CHatGPT is already FAR superior to them in this specific task, as well as being x500 faster, I am already questioning their utility. But also, I'm expensive and my American employers know the price of everything and the value of nothing. A familiar story and scary as fuck. Honestly, if it can already operate at this level in such a niche subject, I don't know where the future jobs are coming from.

Kids walked to school in it. Keep away from the edge of houses (falling tiles) and its nowt.
