Made some baked beans. 😀

Passatta, fried onion, black pepper, chilli pepper, ancho chillies, Chipotle chillies, pinch of salt.

If you soak the beans overnight and then sloooooooow cook them in stock they are really good.

This is the place for nerd stuff right?

I've downloaded the phyphox app made by Aachen University. It let's you use the individual sensors in your phone to conduct all sorts of experiments.

For reasons I am on the 45th floor and my lift moves at ~5m/s, hitting […]

Aminocetaphen or Paracetamol aka Tylenol is not connected to autism.

And if it was, so what? There are worse things than being autistic. Fascists and anti-vaxxers (but I repeat myself) spring to mind.

I dumped #duolingo when they started using #ai to solve the problem of paying their staff wages.

Lingodeer is not subtle about using real people for audio and video lessons.

And my Mandarin is notably improved.

So there we go.

Made vegan chilli today. Because I'd made beans from dried and they needed some spicing up.

I was feeling fancy so I used brown sugar for some treacle notes and my secret ingredient remains MSG.

Happy spouse, happy house indeed. 😀

Why? The Online Safety Act. And me living in the […]

I am having a lot of people tell me LLMs are "inevitable" and I'll be "left behind" if I don't use them.

It feels... somehow... familiar...

Boycotts and divestments:

Well, I've let my Disney+ sub expire. I will be sad not to see Andor Season 2 but I have picked up Plex which has apps! so I'm looking forwards to creating my own media server and getting my old DVDs out and backed up (also moving from […]
