One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.

Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.

Always an exciting moment when we see les grues (the cranes) flying north over our part of France… a sign that spring is on the way.

FYI those aren't drones flying over the snowboarders. They are horseshoe bats with teeny cameras strapped to their bellies.

Found a waterlogged bee outside yesterday, on the recycling bags. Poor little blighter was absolutely soaked. Brought it in for 10 minutes to warm it up, it came right back to life then flew off. Happy days!

Found another one today, it was covered in tiny mites. It didn't survive 😔

In this photo, taken #OTD in 1984, Bruce McCandless is an *football field away from the space shuttle with no safety tether.*

No astronaut, before or since, has been that far away from their ship while in orbit. (2/n)

Two Women just got on the train at Padders. They're hammered, and trying to coax two of their bloke mates to meet them in Maidenhead to get shitted together.

Fucking. Hilarious.

HUGE shout out to the Girl on the Bosch helpline, for explaining that our washing machine had, somehow, put child lock on, which is why it wasn't working.

We now have a working washing machine once more... 🙏🏼
