Pass. I could write my historical knowledge of television shows on an ant's cock in black marker. Best to check first!

it's an older meme sir, but it checks out

Computerphile did a wonderful feature worth ten minutes of your time - going into surface level detail of how some AI models put ethics to one side to achieve results.

It's not just AI and it's something humans can do too, but it is a bit unsettling (from both parties, in retrospect).

If that sort of thing entertains you, you should check out Time Bandits (it's from Apple TV originally I think but can be found on the high seas no drama), and one of the story threads deals with a girl of early secondary school age, left in a prehistoric time - and she ascends to being a leader, educating her tribe with her 2020's saaarh laaahndan banter.

When they head back to find her, the tribe are all conversing like a mob of youths outside a McDonald's on a Saturday afternoon. It's absolutely brilliantly written and well worth a watch.

Yeah good spot. I never actually paid much attention to it. It was the first one of a similar pattern that I saw on the Google Shopping listings.

Awesome. I didn't even have to say "I wanna be in the screenshot"!

You're right. I'm overthinking it!

I wonder what the Polish, Monégasque, and Indonesian folk do when they win a flag competition?

I have helis flying over all day every day (bar Sunday), being under a major helicopter flight path. We get the odd plane or light aircraft going over too.

I was sat wondering wtf a droning noise was - too quiet for a heli, too low a tone for a commercial aircraft - looked online at it was the US Navy heading up to Norway for whatever reason.

The Eurofighter Typhoon has a real unique engine note too, even at a couple of tens of thousands of feet up, it still makes you wonder "hey wtf is that sound?"

"don't be a dick to your staff"

That's the abridged version anyway.

I don't know what platform this is and I don't know the terms, but could you just sign up for a month, make the subscription valid with a payment, and cancel before month 2's payment was debited?

Seems like you could achieve the same goal with that approach - but if you've been pro-creator enough to directly offer a tip, I suspect you've already considered it :)
