The Board of @CocaCola don't fancy finding out more about risk around ingredients, or "requesting a report evaluating the Company’s plastics packaging policies.

Imagine if Trooping the Colour was sponsored by Tesco.

So when people say things like “I asked ChatGPT”, for things like a fact, you’re in trouble. I’ve had the exact same thing recently where it was adamant something existed when it actually didn’t, it was just a research paper it claimed (strongly) was an actual open source product

How AI lied and gaslit me:

🤯💣🔥

Won’t lie: what happened to me this week made my jaw drop

Do watch:

@JakeSnakeNC @Rengle820 I find whatever’s working/not working on the range translates to the game super well (I have a grip handle). Tested some swing changes in Golf+ and they have worked IRL, mental!

WINZIP. WINZIP. You know what, I’d totally forgotten about WinZip until now. Massive problem solved there. Swap for 7-Zip, that’s another $1bn in the bag.

[Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE]

Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are:
- 37,000 WinZip licenses
- 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple parallel training software platforms)
-7,500 project management software seats for a division with 5,500 employees
- 3 different ticketing systems running in parallel

Fixes are actively in work.

I don’t doom scroll Twitter anymore, login once every few weeks. I come on today, and it’s 99% moaning that taxing the wealthy is basically a hate crime. @garyseconomics moving the needle finally, you know what that say!

[Adam Matthews @AdamPMatthews]

@BrewingthePast @rorysutherland @VoleTrouser Sweet lord Jesus won’t we have mercy on the wealthy set. For they know not what whey are doing. It’s only the lowly PAYE income tax payer who can “choose” to work and will know how much tax will be taken….

[Adam Matthews @AdamPMatthews]

@BrewingthePast @rorysutherland @VoleTrouser Like those with wealth have no idea how many assets they have, accidentally came across an apartment complex they rent out to generate cash flow, couldn’t possibly liquidate anything to cover a tax liability. Oh where did this Lambo come from, crikey. My shares keep going up 😭..

@MavenPolitic Last time I checked going to a gig was a self selective cohort of people. This is relatively common of live music shows I’ve noticed. Maybe there’s an income inequality issue, tickets for this were over £50.

@HeroicLife @R89Capital @KrangTNelson Cab tunnel. It’s a tunnel for taxi cabs. I saw a video where someone was at a red light for about 3 minutes. People transported per minute is tiny. Maybe one day open it up to other cars so they can make quicker journeys.

@TadhgCalbhaigh @QPR_22_ @Matt8004 shit, should we ensure UK AID keeps sending support out of our taxes to these countries?? Seems like a good use of money.

@TadhgCalbhaigh @Matt8004 https://t.co/whVXB93T1q - this is a lot of places to go get food if you're broke. People donating food is one of the reasons people are starving less, but people are starving (feeding their kids before themselves etc.)

Deleted X, not logged in for about 2 months maybe. Come back to this nonsense.

@TomP1Bellingham When you bring in the money needed to pay your golden boys salary, you don’t really need to pay attention to race starts anymore 😂
