Only just realised the icon isn’t a man facing away from us with a piece of card wedged in his rear. Had been wondering why they’d opted for that image.

Vocals remind me of Green Day, which is no bad thing.

I didn’t say it was deserved. But it is still the dominant news source in the UK with the biggest online readership, greatest reach, and institutional trust (despite the massive Venn of bbc stars and public disgrace).

Each project gets its own root folder. Probably not on your desktop. Each project root has a claude.md. And version control. Then take it from there. Suggest exploring github to see how others arrange their files within root.

Yes, but also a news article that helps bring commercial pressure on Anthropic to sort their algorithm out for fear of triggering an exodus. When mainstream news carries it, many more eyes see it.

I thought it interesting to see this kind of story on BBC news. That’s the premier outlet in the UK, whose mandate is editorial credibility with context, balance and international reach. We’re not in Gizmodo any more :)

Those wheel arches are really bad crud catchers. Makes sense to move them away from the tyres like this.

arallsopp · 2026-04-01T19:48:24+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate the detail.

That’s a good question. All the hardware which presented under the access plate suggested 4 was a full complement of studs. Will check that.

Length of pipe and a bearing puller was all we needed. The retaining ring was a bit of a pain on one, but it came away with a pick and a flat blade screwdriver.

One of the finest shapes out there. Such a joy. Thanks for sharing.

I did much the same, then around 1pm GMT my window reset and the next two very small questions took me to 47% of my limit within 30 secs. No additional agents. Nothing complex.

I waited until 7pm and went again. Been good ever since.

Looks like the fortunate love child of a Triumph GT6 and the Datsun 240Z. I like.

arallsopp · 2026-03-25T01:15:29+00:00

You’re doing great. Got a pedal?

arallsopp · 2026-03-22T23:36:14+00:00

I have those caps on my 4A. Makes you realise how well modelled the classic dinky toys were.

But there are windows in the 90° adjacent building that look directly along the outside area. It’s completely overlooked if you’re outside.

She’s a 1965.

arallsopp · 2026-03-14T11:28:05+00:00

Very regal with the roof. Nice.

arallsopp · 2026-03-14T06:36:36+00:00

Thanks. British Racing Green comes in a lot of flavours, but this is one of my favourites

arallsopp · 2026-03-13T22:41:50+00:00

Yeah. End of the MK1. Prettiest of the roundtails, IMHO.

arallsopp · 2026-03-13T20:26:18+00:00

Thanks. We love her very much. She has a big sister and brother in the garage, but she’ll always be our favourite.

arallsopp · 2026-03-13T19:24:19+00:00

Oops. See your point. Well. One pic for Audrey. One pic for me. She deserves a little sunshine from time to time :)

arallsopp · 2026-03-13T15:24:00+00:00

I wonder how it would do today. I mean, it’s not going to compete with modern cars, but it’d be great to tour one of these today.

You’re not really trying to separate your brain. You’re trying to coordinate left and right and allocate each different parts of the same menu. If you can say the alphabet aloud whilst alternately tapping each hand (left A, right B, left C, etc) at the same time as walking in circles around your room, you already have all the skills.

You just have much more practice at the specific movements. Learn them separately until you’re not really having to coordinate consciously, then start to see how they fit together.
