Pc gamer platform, I presume?

I’m about one more bloody headline away from reloading the Farnmville upgrade onto my tablet….

Yep. All the signs have pointed to unprovoked military engagement since Trump put navy resources in the Caribbean.

Plus that ‘our oil’ moment, talking about Venezuelan oil industry.

That’s pretty out there.
Did you stay with the guy through all your babies?

I’m going for swirly, rather than ‘regimented castle walls’ effect.

And now we snack until I get around to cooking dinner, after it leaves the oven.

I’m attempting a pav … soonish.

So hot I can barely think, not good conditions for correctly assembling ingredients….

My teenage years involved staying at a holiday camp at Foxton Beach. It was the only fizzy in the wee shop there, they were hyper-local way before it was a thing 😀

Yeah, I’m thinking back to around 45 years ago, when I was a Manawatu teenager, & spent time in Foxton in the summer.

My friend has been their rep for about 15 years.

I have an old friend in Welly who was sales repping the brand - used to be only available in Foxton, until the ownership changed & increased production.
It’s big all down Kapiti Coast & into Wellington now!

Silly Keith, you’re ignoring the ‘peasant’ factor: peasants shouldn’t be educated, or they won’t do the shit jobs. And there’s an unlimited supply of them, so why pay money to keep them healthy?

It’s like they’ve never heard of how quickly the Black Plague spread around Europe, infecting peasants.

Not our fam - roast lamb.
Probably a pav to follow.

MIL & her mother used to make a grand production of Turkey, which has lead to a family aversion.

(how was it still dry, when it was cooked with sausages & bacon strung around it?)

That is brilliant, and verbalises my instinctual unease with AI perfectly.

To what purpose do we put automated fraudulent personas?

Plus the whole ‘tech bros are creepy af’ vibe…
