In the UK, The Scout Association went fully co-ed in 2007 and Girl Guiding remains a girls-only organisation. Both are doing just fine.

I assume that’s what happens, but you know what happens when you do that!

I went to a site recently where the padlock code was 58008.

That links to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/copilot-plus-pcs#faq1

Copilot+ PCs are a new class of Windows 11 AI PCs that are powered by a turbocharged neural processing unit (NPU) – a specialised computer chip for AI-intensive processes like real-time translations and image generation – that can perform more than 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

  1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
  2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
  3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it’s that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.

I used to have a cherry tree in my garden. I was sitting in the branches picking cherries, when I saw a blackbird (not an SR-71) sitting on the outer twigs eating cherries I couldn’t reach. He had a look in his eye that said “these are my cherries and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

Then a sparrowhawk took him out in front of me and ate him. That’ll teach him.
