I haven't seen the name Simon Armitage since secondary school (uk). The national curriculum used to force-feed his poetry. I'm sure it's great an all, but... not to a 13 year old boy. He possibly ruined poetry for me for life.

I’m not especially technical, but I have clients with WordPress websites. Can anyone perhaps put in a sentence or two what I need to suggest they do?

Hah. This takes me back. Classic doesn't quite cover it.

I will say it's nice not having to click and Move on the sidebar manually each time you want to move a unit.

I do seem to remember each unit made a sound when you click them like "reporting" and when you move them "acknowledged"? Which again was incredibly repetitious but also quite characterful!

I'd be interested to know what agents you're using. You mentioned Claude and GPT in passing, but don't actually talk about which you're using or for which tasks.

Google and Google Ads are not one and the same.

Re:Tinnitus Neuromodulator on Sunday October 19, 2025 @04:56AM (#45632882)
Another message of hope: I'm mid-late thirties and had the exact same. Daily tinnitus from December 2024 through to around August 2025.

I went through MRI etc to no avail.

Then one day I felt something (extremely deep in my ear) just 'release', like a tube unblocking or pressure equalising. And the sound went away and (fingers crossed) hasn't come back since. This was after daily issues for 8-9 months solid.

not an issue /yet/ as it's separate and barely anyone is using it

I had this too last week. It pointed out two errors that simply weren’t there. Then completely refused to back down and doubled down on its own certainty, until I sent it a screenshot of the original prompt. Kind of funny.

Honestly if you're removing meta tags from the html of a page for page speed/server space/bandwidth/environmental benefits -- it's time to do something else

I hate FB/twitter as much as the next tech-savvy person but accept that my users use those platforms and it's good for my website to show up optimally when they do

"but part of the secret sauce of why these big orgs generally operate as effective institutional ecologies"

Nah

the secret sauce is "who you know"

it's a tale as old as time

In the UK, at least, gold coins and gold bars benefit from a special tax status which means that they are exempt from VAT

Certain coins, such as the Gold Sovereign in the UK are classed as legal tender and as such are exempt from capital gains tax

They signed an unlimited alliance the day Russia invaded?

Funny that, of all the questions to ask, you of all people ask marketing questions, Rand :)
Played the demo of this a few months back on our living room tv + controller and my u5 y/o kids were quite taken with it.
