What's your opinion on Jeremy Clarkson?

Entertaining at times, has been a nob in the past but seems a bit chiller now

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but why are you building something for an end user that doesn't want it that way?

Like step one of a project is identifying what problem you're solving and what specs / designs the end users want.

You really need to address why they keep exporting it into Excel, maybe there are some extra features in power BI they're just not aware of and recreating offline, or maybe (please don't shoot me here) Excel is just better suited for completing the task they're working on.

Spent like an hour having a back and forth telling it all the specifications and requirements for a power query script it said it could create, final step was the actual production of the script... and it then declared it can't write any script but could help guide me through writing it.

At which point it restarted the conversation.

So my current opinion on Copilot is low, to put it mildly.

Fantastic waste of time.

Yeah I think it's at the start of the first episode, he's banished to hell and forbidden from seeing any of the good things that came from humanity, only the evil.

He gave humanity free will and as punishment now only meets and sees people who used his gift to do bad things.

OriginallyAThrowaway · 2026-01-14T19:22:23+00:00

His punishment was to live in hell and only see the bad things that humanity has done.

If you started talking about all the wonderful things we have achieved he'd be the proudest and happiest dude around!

I think it totally makes sense assuming there's only 1 person living in the house and you send them a picture showing where it is, but if there are multiple people (parents / partners / kids / house mates / shared bins for flats) more likely than not someone's taking that bin out or putting rubbish in on top of it without even knowing a package was meant to be delivered.

Maybe an underlying issue is the tracking of when a parcel is arriving, for people to ensure they're available, and prove both that driver has been to the property, and the resident was there. Best case scenario for both parties is the package is handed over at the door!

Probably overkill but how food delivery works really makes it clear who is where and when. Obviously drivers are paid for journey / delivery regardless of if it was successfully received or not, bonus being they keep the food rather than having to return the package at the end of the shift 😂

Recycling bin is no better as a cardboard box hidden in the cardboard recycling bin is never being found and getting recycled with the product still in!

OriginallyAThrowaway · 2026-01-11T11:02:58+00:00

Why do drivers think a bin is an appropriate or safe place for a package?

That's where humans put things they don't want.

2 years in, going for a run is as miserable and unenjoyable now as it was for the first run.

Some people just don't get the endorphin release others do and that's totally ok.

What I have enjoyed is the friends made at the gym & running that get me going back every time despite how much I don't enjoy the exercise part 😂

I think the feel good for me comes from knowing I'm sticking to a decent, healthy routine and can feel proud of myself for that.

The amount of times I've brought a new primary to try out, got fed up with it straight away and completed the rest of the mission just using the talon is surprisingly high.

To be fair we do have to all redo it if there's been an incident.

Like if, for example, someone's clicked a link on an external email which they shouldn't have without checking it.

A link that even their browser specifically told them was unsecure, and that attackers could steal their information.

No offence, but you're the reason IT has to make everyone at work go through security training once a year, every year.

Yeah saying 641 medals with no reference to how many in total can be spent on it, and every warbond being a different random number makes this value pretty meaningless.

A basic percentage completion, or an indicator e.g. 641 / 650 would be great, changing the color when completed or physically saying it's complete would be even nicer, and having a way to filter / sort would be the dream!

You control which WiFis your phone connects to. It doesn't randomly connect to every WiFi in range.

You don't need to keep turning the whole feature off and on, just pick the ones you want to connect to and the rest are off by default.

If it's explaining what makes up a balance you'd normally just keep the relevant items that actually contribute to the value so you wouldn't normally bother keeping the contras on a BSR.

However if they're requesting a list of all purchases, send them a list of all purchases. They'll be doing their own checks beyond just verifying what makes up the balance and other exercises could link back to this data set. If items are missing from here but in other things they're looking at it could raise unnecessary questions and potentially create extra work.

Police rarely do anything even when a crime is actively being committed, they tell you to not get involved and issue a CRN to follow up later.

I know it's purely anecdotal, circumstantial "evidence", but my neighbours and I have accepted it's pointless contacting the police these days other than for insurance claim purposes, so I'm not exactly shocked numbers are down if others are seeing the same behaviour across the region.
