This has also reminded me I need to update my labeller.

Quite common for Bosch bikes. Can't keep my battery on the bike when it's locked up anymore as they're too easy to lever out of the lock. Worth quite a lot of money and not really traceable either.

Maybe if it's still there tomorrow I'll try to cycle by briefly. I really want to see the size in context of the port. Quite like living nearby - other than when everything is infested with flies.

Was the visit interesting? I'm at home with a newborn, but am very interested in what I've missed. Just seeing it at Shoreham port seems like it'd be really cool.

My main thought when I saw it was 'how many people are going to put this back into AI to summarise it again'

I had an example of this at work where a colleague wrote ~2 pages notes in clear bullet points. They then asked AI to expand on the bullet points, making the document 15+ pages long!

I think probably because they felt this would be more valued.

Last week we were booking in an induction and we asked about balloon induction. The midwife said they didn't know much about it, so googled it and read us the description from gemini.

I don't think it was actively wrong, but it was unsettling to see it used that way by a medical professional.

Hang on, I think you're making a big mistake - one of those regions is landlocked. I propose we fix this by adding a narrow corridor to the top right.

This will provide vital sea access and cause no other problems I can think of.

That is what I meant. I like the comparison because the book & movie are the grift, falsifying past accounts and brushing over past bad behaviour (though worse in Frank Abagnale Jr's case).

Is there a new tagline to promote the Salt Path movie?

'Britain's own Catch Me If You Can'

I love Llandudno as an example, since it also grew in large part because of a new railway - and one where tourism along the route was also not at all the main objective.

Are these cars / vans associated with the bits of construction going on down there? Seems mad they are blocking so much of the access.

The link in Jonathan's post appears to be broken so here it is again: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Killing paramedics and rescue workers is horrifying, but it's just a drop in the ocean of horror happening in Gaza right now.
Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office
