I was under the impression that the Dutch were better sailors than that!

They must. If the sea level rises, the whole country is under water.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I note that they also cornered the market for shipping tonnage (50% !). What does that say about the rest of the world?

If a cat swallows a ball of wool, would it have mittens?

My experience with cats is that furballs go the other direction.

How are you feeling Paul ? I must have been lucky I had my first jab five weeks ago and apart from a heavy feeling in my arm for a day I didn't have any side effects ( I hope I haven't spoken too soon )

Knackered, to be honest.
It may be lack of sleep last night, or fatigue (which is one of the AZ side-effects, apparently).
The paracetamols are keeping the pain down to manageable levels though.
Herself had no problem with either of her jabs either ...

It would have the thing that I would invariably step on, on my way to the bathroom at 3 in the morning.

If they are the cold, wet, squishy, and smelly Lego bricks then yes.

My name is a complicated combination of 45 degrees of forward motion, 25 degrees of leftward drift, 75 degrees of upward acceleration, and infinity and that is the point where my love for you stops.
A little sweet nothing for your significant other, brought to you by the Curie model in GPT-3. Thanks to Kent for putting this in the Insider today.

That's exactly what a typical player of Elite Dangerous might have to say.
Any other commanders here?

I also read that AI is being looked at for job/recruit interviews, etc.

Oh yes, that went well. Did they not shut that thing down after becoming a little discriminating, because it was trained by the HR guys?

I'm tired, but I don't feel sick any more, the chills are gone, and I've kept a couple of paracetamol down so the muscle and joint pains are under control, pretty much.
My head is blurred though - I don't think I'll be doing much useful today.
That was quite nasty - almost like a mini COVID, but a lot milder - but it won't stop me having the second jab.

I'm pretty sure that means (a) you got the correct jab, and (b) it's working nicely.
Congrats. Looks like it'll be well over 2 months before I am looking at the business end of a needle.

Lucky you...

Yesterday we had an opportunity to sign up for 1 of 25,000 doses. Logged on 5 minutes before the published time, the site informed me I was in a virtual waiting room and there were 50,000 people ahead of me. Yeah, it's going to be awhile for us as well, probably not a year, but a couple months I'd suspect.
