And there it is. Sorry, you are just selfish. I've no desire to persecute anyone, yet once again you assume I do. All I ask is that my neighbours use a fan, it doesn't bother me en…

In a way, that's somewhat my point. The tip isn't the problem, the expectation that the tip will occur and thus salaries can be lowered as a result of it - is.

You assume I have not tried it, you assume I have not tried other substances. You assume a lot while pushing a narrative of your own. If your mind is so open, why are you so closed…

It tells me you write prose in a manner becoming of an unhinged madman.

You make a lot of very strange assumptions about who I am and what I've done with my life. And you'll note, I don't stop them, nor complain - I merely WISH they were a little more …

Should we tip the robots too?

"Just leave then" Fine, I'll take the bait. I moved here by choice, my "ancestors" have nothing to do with Hong Kong. I also don't wage a war against my neighbours who are simply t…

Americans are tipping literal ATMs. It's out of hand. The employer should be paying the salary of the servers - unless you are living in some kind of failed socialist state?

I didn't "choose" to live in a multi-unit apartment, I live in Hong Kong - there is no other option. "Just leave them!" Yeah. Ok. Try empathy, it's free.

We shouldn't be tipping anyone, I don't understand the fascination with perpetuating a system that encourages employers not to pay a living wage.

I've been off and on them for years, usually my doctors seem to prefer if I'm off them and indeed treat them more as short term "stabilizers" so that my brain has a bit more space …

Chinese model censors topics deemed sensitive by the Chinese government... Here's Tom with the weather.

I'm not so sure... Where I grew up there was no arcade. It's easy to say that we are more connected but far apart, but only if you ignore the democratization that has come with tha…

Your point reads strangely, it's almost like saying "Why even bother when CO2 emissions are so high" - surely ANYTHING that they are doing to turn that around should be celebrated …

The back of them really are stunning, sadly the listing doesn't seem to shown that it also has snoopy in a rocket which sweeps round as well as the earth rotating - they aren't lim…

Only if it's aware of your platform/programming language/etc

To be fair though, complaining about 'things' is practically a British national sport.

Same, I created a todo list with a simple MCP and it's been game changing, just being able to talk/discuss with my todo list somehow seems to keep me coming back to it rather than …

Having just paid a small fortune to renew my passport. I'm not super excited about this, especially as I live outside the UK. I also don't trust them not to make a complete hash of…

It gives me somewhat more Amiga A500 and A500+ vibes... ;) I see it as a spiritual successor to my much loved childhood Amiga A500 which partially spurred my life long love of comp…

Interesting! I've never thought alcohol tastes like bleach, though in some I can now certainly get a taste of "ethanol", same with the charcoal coffee thing -- many flavours I've f…

I've eaten all sorts of strange and exotic things... but most seafood, I simply... cannot. Most of it smells like it is rotting to me and the taste is overpowering[0]. Trust me, I'…

I've taken to using an LLM to organize my Todo list (self hosted interface with a little MCP server I wrote and a postgrss db on my network), it's still very simplistic however for…
