@DrDavidWarriner @BSEcho @TheBJCA Thanks @DrDavidWarriner and @TheBJCA - and thanks @BSEcho for the assignment! Just counting how many times I used the word ‘training’ in that first paragraph there… hope it helps to provide some context to the new requirements.

And it doesn’t just affect those who play on it….

Fantastic little bookshop.

[Book-ish 📚 @Bookishcrick]

I don’t suppose anybody would like to buy a book tonight.

I’m stressing about big bills week, it’s not getting any easier and lately I’ve been wondering how long we can keep doing this. I know I’m not alone in this, lots of small businesses are facing difficult times.

AI and data centers may impose a $20 billion public health bill on the US by 2030 - with related emissions and air pollution causing an estimated 600,000 asthma cases annually.

A new study also estimates today's health impacts from existing data centers.
