kinda weird how people will just attach chatgpt to customer service things and let it fuck around practically unmonitored while they watch their human employees like a hawk and fire them at the first sign of an oopsie

This week I learned that there was a show called Den Store Strikkedyst (The Great Knit Off) a Danish knitting competition show in the vein of Great British Bake Off. Two episodes with English subtitles are on YouTube.

I love this knitter's reaction to being told she must speed knit for 30 minutes.

And as with GBBO, the presenter provides color commentary of the competitors.

G-mail assumes that "Amazon" refers to the company and not the river.

Technically correct.

Having hit the 20 years parenting experience milestone in 2023 it’s time to offer some advice to prospective parents…
Plant a lemon or lime tree about a year or two before you’re planning to start a family. Because citrus look after themselves and you won’t be gardening again any time soon. And you’re going to need more gin & tonics than you can imagine to get your kid(s) successfully to adulthood.

I'm absurdly excited to learn that 2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³.

...and it's because:

2025 = 45², and

45 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9, and

\( 1 + \cdots + n \)^2 = 1^3 + \cdots + n^3 !

Every year, Germans watch a senile #British woman force her #butler to drink to access on New Year's Eve.

"Dinner for One" is a #comedy skit from 1963 that has become the most played television program in #Germany.

"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?" ---
"The same procedure as every year, James."

Despite living in the future here in #Australia, I have not forgotten my roots

Happy New Year!
