Rat Rules #1 Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not there… #2 Do NOT do what she did… #3 Screams are permitted

Van cats these are not ‘Top Cat’ feral cats that live in old rusty vans and bins and terrorise the neighbourhood they are a naturally evolved breed of domestic cat found around Lake Van in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, with mostly white fur and often different coloured eyes, that enjoy swimming and love their owners (unlike all other cats )

UK younger gen - slut seems to be more ‘gender neutral’, especially in the queer communities, even ‘reclaimed’ as other derogatory words have been (eg ‘queer’ itself) can’t speak for US - totally different language

I think this is a warning - don’t provoke Krista

first thing kids learn - how to lie

sorry to disappoint, but parents always embarrass their kids - it’s in the Rulebook, you know, the one that’s not been written

I guess that’s been a dynamic within families back to the dawn of humankind (also in the animal world) I have no kids so can only comment from observations of all those I’ve encountered and my own childhood experience (which included freedoms that probably wouldn’t/couldn’t happen now) families are the most important social unit in a healthy society but there is no Rulebook for parenting, no universal ‘recipe for success’ your questions are thoughtful and interesting and show your awareness and understanding and desire to learn which I think are key attributes in successful parenting (along with unconditional love, nurturing, support, patience and many others) together with who YOU are as a human being maybe you should write about your experience as a parent

which I suspect (to misquote LBO) is never more than “two minutes away” from Steve

Hmm looks delicious! *licks lips* a favourite dish in Adana, Turkey - maybe everywhere…

we are so lucky that spiders are small…

immersive video games - yes. regular drama or comedy or nsfw - No

Celestial mechanics - spring equinox v spring equilux today is the spring equinox (Friday, March 20, 2026), but the equilux - the day of equal light and dark - actually passed a few days ago for most of the Northern Hemisphere "Equinox" means "equal night” and occurs at the moment the Sun is directly above the equator (which only happens twice a year during the Earth’s orbit around the Sun) but the actual 12-hour day happens earlier in the spring (and later in autumn): atmospheric refraction makes the Earth's atmosphere act like a lens, bending sunlight so that we see the Sun "rising" before it actually crosses the horizon, and we see it "setting" after it has actually dipped below the horizon the Sun is a disk, not a point, so sunrise and sunset are measured by the top edge of the Sun, but the equinox is measured from the Sun's centre, which adds a few extra minutes of light onto either end of the day For most mid-latitude locations (like the UK and parts of North America), the equilux occurred around March 17 or 18 - so by today's equinox we already have roughly 8 to 10 minutes more daylight than darkness

I actually use it a lot now, both for fun (provoking it, testing it, teasing it ) and also for information on technical subjects (car systems, planning law, estate admin, music, medical) and for me it is an excellent resource for information that would have taken me a long time to find or never at all with usage comes understanding - about its limitations. The key is framing the question right - if you don’t then, yes, you can get duff /misleading responses. That’s especially true with political matters where it will happily spout current narratives we hear all the time. But lob in some ‘inconvenient facts’ and it’s remarkable (and very satisfying) how quickly you can make it do a complete 180!

they are watching you - inside your home - and they know exactly where you are

A beautiful film indeed. Two people, so different in every way, whose meeting is so unlikely yet ‘see’ each other for who they are and ‘connect’ (as EM Forster wrote) Miriam Margolyes is exceptional, and the handsome Alistair Nwachukwu is definitely a young actor to watch out for (Spoiler alert: he really did get to go to a prestigious drama school and on a scholarship - fully paid just like JJ) Thanks so much for posting this - I shall definitely watch it again! https://www.instagram.com/p/DVOc9qrCrLp/# https://thecontending.com/lee-knight-interview/

ChatGPT (+ now Grok) has done pretty well for itself since this thread started 2 years ago, extending from just pure text to every kind of interaction humans might want - images, video, audio, the ability to understand and communicate using ordinary speech in most languages, and much more it’s becoming an essential tool for business, education, healthcare, government and many other areas too …including, under current UK govt plans, the justice system The UK govt is so impressed with AI’s ‘cost-saving potential’ that it plans to replace juries with AI for most jury trials Now, England has had jury trials for over 800 years since Magna Carta 1215 (actually 1225) So this is quite a big change a British lawyer thought it might be a good idea, before this is rolled out, just to check out ChatGPT (and Grok) to see if these AI systems are up to the job Because law is complicated, ‘facts’ can be tricky to pin down, and deciding guilt or innocence is quite a big deal So this lawyer came up with some simple ‘scenario’ tests for ChatGPT (and Grok). Although the conversations in natural language are impressive (they surely pass the Turing Test), pretty soon he got them wrestled to the ground +tied down, rodeo-style

worryingly, certain miscreants are going to claim this is a ‘confession’

that suggests real photos, not AI, and that someone managed to keep Steve still for a moment in order to tie on the, er, tie… AND not get bitten (unless someone cleaned up the blood and disposed of the body )

invariably the seller will make clear in the listing the region code (or region free) because they don’t want the hassle of return before buying I also check out review sites like blu-ray.com and dvdbeaver.com which provide a lot more information about releases they’ve reviewed (eg language option, subtitles etc, video/audio quality etc) do the work and you should be happy with what you buy
