@dangillmor Google, like everyone else, collected more data than they can sell. AI isn't going to help, the storage costs are huge, the data is old, the cost of curating and sifting, storage aside are stupendous.
Fresh data is still (just about) valuable, youbet they don't want adblockers.
Ads are the only market they have for their data now. Nobody else wants it, and only the fresh stuff counts for targetted ads. I don't want the same stuff I wanted a month ago, let alone a year ago.

@CloudyMrs They were shut apart from for very necessary workers (I forget the exact term), whereupon the category of very necessary workers expanded greatly, and I only remember that being for some weeks, back open at the first opportunity. My memory may be faulty, but I'm sure records were kept.

@CloudyMrs
Ah yes. I forgot.Can close school for instaff - but not for wilde wilde weather with trees flying about, the Forth bridge closed (lest precious traffic be damaged), nor a deadly pandemic, nor below zero temperatures - in those cases school remains open.

Except school. It could be any extreme weather event with trees flying about and the Forth Bridge closed and -30C or a global pandemic - school is never closed.
The they you refer to might be whomsover decides that fun is cancelled with a mere spot of rain, but nastystuff must go on no matter what.

Frankly I'm too knackered to join in the massive panic about the French and German results, oh and the Dutch too, and everyone else that's gone all right wing. The shine wears off fast.

I'm still trying to find out how this new AMD Radeon machine needs an Nvidia driver update app.
Looks like anyone with ideas got stuck in the reply guy box and not saying a word. Or possibly nobody knows, or possibly people know but aren't saying. I got past binary options oooh must be 30 years ago.Again, I wish search engines worked. Wasn't so long ago that they did. Mibs 2 years ago?

Every time I see someone sitting on a bench outside, my old bones feel deep, deep envy. -

What he said!
I have actually been Out There too (twice) earlier. First time the snow was still crunchy, second time not so crunchy but still lying about. -

Or can just do subzero in the living room. All you need is a lot of socks and clothing and blankets and insane energy prices.
I even have a lovely view of all the snow and ice! -

Our little community garden is establishing fast. There are only 5-6 regulars but they're the enthusiastic types who get on with things. The council has been supportive... well it's free labour the fruits of which they can take credit for, after all.

I send replies s to people I already know and who know me and are used to me, but they clearly don't arrive either, so something is amiss.
