The 7.5" e-paper panels are actually quite nice, I am almost tempted to do the MOQ 100 boards with laminated glass front from waveshare. This is the latest version of my PCB for them.

@neil You know some of us used an 80x25 text only screen and keyboard (connected via a serial line) all day, long before these new fangled "browser" things.

Just occurred to me, my card design site (which seems to have a lot of use of late, https://www.me.uk/cards) has options for things like an 11 in the suit (like https://amzn.eu/d/d9x1LKv) but I don’t have an option for say “extra aces”. That would probably be way more fun, especially if only one person knows and has them up his sleeve.

I might add that. I also want to add customised jokers and the like.

Ok I am confused...

They need Sandra Bullock!

@neil I am puzzled by the focus of the story being on “driverless”.

(A) how was she “stuck”? Surely she could have got out. And surely that is the same with a driver. Indeed if she was the driver she would be stuck as she could not abandon the car, which in this case she presumably could.

(B) how is this different to a car with a driver, with someone persistently standing in your path?

Story is “idiot stands in front of car to cause trouble”. Driverless makes no odds?

Nice pub you have there...

It would be a shame if someone bought it, redecorated, cleaned up the kitchen, got some real ale, decent wine, and a proper coffee machine, and opened it up in a week and a bit as a new pub, with WiFi that has IPv6 even, as well as breakfast and coffee early morning.

I'd have to be in there every morning if that happened 🙂

@Dragon Err, best answer to that is "yes"...

And if all their telecoms/WiFi kit has A&A stickers, so be it.

Maybe let's just say I have a stake, or is that a steak, well done? Well, an involvement.

So not like the last pub I purchased, this won't actually be "my pub".

@Dragon Well, as I understand it, it is not riff-raff... It will be decent food for a reasonable price, and some good drink, and good coffee. The idea is that it is open way more than a normal pub to handle the breakfast and coffee and wifi crowd as well as those that appreciate a nice place to have a nice drink.

And no Sky fucking sports TV. Probably little or no music even, maybe really quiet background stuff, perhaps.

I think also private booking stuff as well.

It has been a hard week, but it is finally open. #Abergavenny

It is deliberately a very basic web site with the basic information you need.

@workchronicles FYI, some of us do pay staff "above and beyond" with Christmas (and other) bonuses.

Chasing SQL performance.
And chasing.
And chasing and finding the slow queries.
But no, forget them...
And down to "that is 0.175s" and well is that a problem"?
And Oh, fuck, that is done 27000 times each run?
Let's make that actually two separate queries, each 0.000s or 0.001s
Fuck that changes things
SQL is fun.

That is genius!

Something is beeping (no, not an annoyatron) - it is maybe downstairs or maybe in hall, really unclear. Maybe 1kHz and one or two seconds long (seems top vary), and maybe once or twice a day.

My wife cannot hear it.

I cannot think of anything that would do it.

It had been going on for weeks.

It is slowly driving me round the bend!

@thomasfuchs one irony is if an image contains text the AI can usually read it. But if the body text of a post has used Unicode to make bold or serif, or some such, a lot of screen readers seem unable to read “what it looks like to a sighted person”. Some simple AI there may be sane!

At this stage, I don't even question Labour policies. They will have a shit load that is bad or stupid, I am sure.

All politicians are problematic. But at this stage, after so many years of so much shit, I have to say "things can only get better".

And I say that as someone that is running a company, with many staff, and many taxes to pay, knowing I have to seriously consider tax changes that Labour may bring to my personal detriment.

The country needs change, any change!

So, is it something like this?

Dear ICO,

I understand that under new rules, as the operator of a social media platform, I have to advise you how I check the age of my user. I have used two methods.

1. Looking in the mirror and seeing I look well over 18.

2. For around 55 years I have meticulously counted the number of birthdays I have had, that number being 60, which is more than 18. I did rely on my parents to confirm the first few.

I trust you find this meets the requirements.

Thanks travelogue!
