Centrist Dad Fuel. Right there.
I did try to read the book in case I go see this and, the use of commas, to punctuate the sentence, waypoints in a stream, eponymous, made it one of the worst, poorly written books, I've read in a long time.

the genAI bubble relies on you conflating the genuinely tremendous potential of using machine learning for e.g. image recognition in radiotherapy, protein folding, simulations in power systems etc with the child abuse image generators and schizophrenic delusions generators

I'd say Plumtree being announced is the most incompetent thing to happen today but I've just seen the OBR published the budget early so...

An announcement that is ill -thought out, underwhelming, helps no-one, is fiscally incomprehensible, probably makes things worse, and could lead to a revolution in the country is set to be made later today
But enough about the Welsh team announcement, who's looking forward to the Budget?

Reason this South Africa game is going to do no-one at the national /regional level any good #3545
This leaves Cardiff with only Dafydd Hughes available at hooker to face Zebre in Parma on Saturday.
Anyone got Kirby Myhill’s number??

The best practice on the internet is to assume no one is real.
That's what I do, but it's hard to tell who's real and who's a bot. There's some rugby supporter accounts on here who are quite clearly AIs run Iranian bot farms to spread division and disinformation (they know who they are)

Incorrect, it was actually much better 20 years ago when I was young and the weight of the world and responsibilities hadn't crushed my fledgling spirit

South Africa can have the best team in the world. Rassie can have obsessively planned all year for this game, but they've forgotten one thing

TBF I remember much worse scorelines/earlier capitulations when we were in our prime and Gatland was coaching.
Honestly, this scoreline and performance looks like pretty much like most Wal v NZ in my memory.
The difference is probably that this is a relatively poor NZ side; but this is not a showing by a side in hopeless freefall from Wales. It looks par for the past 30 years.
