This sounds bad,  it was announced on the news just now.
   
They are having  7.2 - 7.5 magnitude earthquakes there.   So far they has killed over 160 people and many are buried under collapsed buildings.   
I can't imagine how terrifying that must feel to buried alive like that

Aww, they are a couple of cuties, Mups.

Quote from: Mups on Today at 11:45:56 AMI think it was my son who used to have one of those, Raven,  but it made a 'whirring'  noise and I wouldn't have liked that in my ear all night.
Is yours silent?

I also might be worried it would fall down on me during the night and chop me into bits!   

Yes it's silent, had it a few years now, but if it starts humming then it comes down. I also used to worry about it landing on me but it's near the bottom of the bed not above us. Also have another one sitting on the chest of drawers, that blows over the bed. This is ours.

Pictures are as simple as describing what you want it to draw.

AI is almost certainly taking over IT. You can get it to produce the code for you. It makes occasional errors in the logic so you do need to keep an eye on it and test thoroughly. I've had it rewrite a number of my old personal bits and bobs plus more. It does a really good job. All the special day banners here were created by AI as was the code that selects them making adding one a doddle. I did change the method it used for getting them displayed to a simpler one that works better.

I made a corner shelf in the bedroom for my Meaco fan. It wasn't cheap but it is quiet and I have it on all night with weather like this




Here's a link to the one I have but you'd maybe need a different  model

I'm pretty sure mine cost more than that a while ago

Downstairs I installed a monster and only ever have it on the lowest speed. Any more since my diet and I fear it could blow me off the sofa. Quiet enough to not interfere with TV

Couple of pints, I take a water bottle when i go out.  Other soft drinks and the odd coffee during the day. Tea first thing.

Clever stuff k.  My son has worked in IT in finance for years, I've no idea of the technical nature of his job, but his team is doing some development around AI. 

In the house, I have a couple of loose dresses, no bra needed.  Not sure I'd go out in public without one now, wouldn't be the same as back in the era of women's lib!  I may have done in the 1976 heatwave ☺️

I went to the supermarket first thing again today.  A/C in the car, under cover parking, and I lingered by the freezer cabinets for a while.  Heaven.  First lot of washing is dried and put away, so at least the heat is good for something!

As limericks often do a saucy theme started started in the thread in chat. I created an image to suit which can be seen over. Here is an easy way for anybody to make an image using an online tool...

Go to

https://piccreator.ai/?utm_source=nanobanana_art

Describe the picture you want, choose the aspect ratio and resolution you want. This was using the defaults and is similar to the one I made for the limerics thread.

My description for this one...

Create a photorealistic image of an old man with long white hair dancing in union jack underpants in his garden at night in the moonlight . Beyond the old man are several old ladies can be seen peeping over the garden hedge watching him.


I downloaded the result and uploaded it to postimages - https://postimages.org/
Here it is...



It isn't as saucy as the limerick as it seems computers are prudes 

Let your creative juices flow. Not too much though as you only get a couple of goes free there. Of course there are plenty of others if you get the bug. I've blown my two there as I didn't like the first one.

A couple of others

Yes, I like half a lemon squeezed into the water too -  and an ice cube if I've made some.
