Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
(Leonard Cohen)

Is this true? "A single question to ChatGPT uses ten times as much electricity as a Google search and consumes half a litre of water."

I try, I really do but my "understanding" tone only lasts so long before my "WTF is wrong with you?" tone takes over.

Putting my home of 32 years on the market today. Time to downsize. There's nothing I need in this house anymore but the memories that swirl through it. I am immensely sad.

Found the snooze button a meter away in the dark 3 times this morning. Can't find my keys now and yes, I'm now running late.

Water pistol school holiday treats from me to gkids.

Daughter: Jeez Mum! Don't you remember we used to drive you mad with those?
Me smiling: Yes, yes I remember very clearly.

Observation of the day: turns out I'm a very skilled negotiator when it comes to talking myself out of doing something I don't feel like doing.

Brave of Mr McB to start an argument with me. I could move his pants to a different shelf and he'll never find them again.

Why is it that the space between the car seats and the center console will fit any object that you can possibly drop....but your hand wont fit down there?

Having just watched the news, I have come to the tragic conclusion that giving money and power to any Government is like giving teenage boys whiskey and the keys to the car.
