There is something morbidly fascinating about people who literally only have to do what's on the screen in front of them, in a system that tells them where a problem is, spending a significant amount of time asking someone who can't see their screen what the problem is.

I think I can safely say that programming isn't for me. Half way though a 6 hour online session and I'm just not interested at all (plus it's getting ruined by people who already know python who inexplicably joined a beginners course and keep chiming in)

Was checking out some takeaways on JE and loads are now charging a fiver for delivery.
Toss in JEs bullshit collection of charges and you're basically paying for your food twice, the hell?

I miss when devices uses to stay up to date of their own accord when you left them on. You seem to constantly have something out of date now even when the update was released days ago and there's zero reason why it shouldn't have been updated overnight

I miss when windows actually used to shut down when told to with updates and wait for you to turn it back on yourself, instead of ignoring you completely and rebooting

Finally got me a CPAP and just as well, it turns out my sleep test results were pretty concerning.
100 times an hour I stopped breathing, and those gaps were pretty consistently basically 20-30 seconds each time.
My blood oxygen level got so bad it literally fell of the scale x.x

Rather amusing moment in Skyrim there, dropped some junk arnour I'd picked up, bandit walks up to me and politely asked if they can have, I say they can.
The moment the dialogue closes? "Never should have come here" so I stabbed him in the face with my paralysis dagger xD

UKIP (going ahead with the use of the dodgy icon they're not allowed to use) have jumped on the far right Christian bandwagon too I see

Interesting, just read an article about confidence in AI upskilling from mid career professionals
Most likely to agree they'll learn about AI in the next 6 months:
Gen Z - 40%
Millennials - 63%
Gen X - 61%
Boomers - 47%
It gets a little more interesting as I keep reading though

Every day I see more Trump shit and I'm starting to think less of him needing to hurry up and shuffle off the mortal coil, and more that the mortal coil needs to throw him off and be done with it.
Like seriously, if it's not rampant denials about his physical and mental health, it's his stupidity

Trump threatening to retaliate if any country sells US securities?
Other than tantrums and threats does he have anything that would actually make a difference?

Danish lawmaker told Trump to fuck off xD
He got told off as it wasn't proper for the environment, but let's be honest, I imagine a lot of people present share the sentiment xD

It's funny whenever I see threads about WW2 and how some people try to big up the US contribution
Reminds me of MMO players who've spent ages whittling a bosses HP down, and the US is some rando who appears near the end, gets one hit in then acts like their contribution was the deciding factor

Local MP posting in the local community group to get people's feedback on banning fireworks, and some of the usual suspects (including one who was kicked out of Reform as a candidate because they were deemed "too racist") going on about "illegal" immigrants

So despite all my efforts of spending many hours reviewing, rewording and reformatting my CV, having a tutor have a look and even resorting to using AI to check for AIness, Indeed still won't cooperate.
I've even asked them to provide evidence if they continue to object so I can fix it to no avail
