My recommendation to the #UncannyCommunity : avoid Wake The Tiger in Bristol, unless you like sleepless nights!
If anyone's kid is seeing Error 8 when trying to load their Minecraft world, take a look at their installed packs. My son's app had an expired add-on, removing it fixed the problem. "Error 8" really isn't very helpful @Microsoft ! Do better.
I'm a LabVIEW dev so I know a smattering of .NET and C#. Needed help to create a renderer override, struggled with Gemini for an hour, tried @grok and I got what I needed plus more done in no time at all. Grok rocks!
Wow, What happened to @AbeBooks ? I used them recently for an order, have a problem, and there's categorically no way to contact them. A rabbit warren of cyclic self-help links in their "Contact Us" website leads to oblivion. Can I get support on here perhaps?
Help! My 6yr old son just wrote a secret letter to Santa asking for a diamond for his mum, because she works so hard for him and his big brother! I can't afford a diamond, but Santa can't let him down either. I need imaginative solutions please! 🎅💎🤔
Meta #Quest3S just arrived. It's meant to be a family Christmas gift, to be put away until Dec25. But it's already on my wife's head, for "testing". I doubt it'll ever get wrapped!

I'm not much of a football (soccer) fan, but I've watched England play and I honestly have to say I feel the ref in tonight's final was against them. Every subjective decision. They played like Crusaders. Well done England team, but you were playing against the odds.

I'm gonna explain to y'all why Britain considers 78°F/25°C hot. I know hot because I grew up in Texas and spent half my life in Las Vegas. So I am absolutely qualified to explain this to the rest of you who laugh at UK "heat waves".
Independent review of EV commitment and capability across many brands. Guess who's on top?

Disappointing $TSLA service experience. Message after message, stunted texts via the app, confusion and contradiction. Quickly sorted when they finally called me, but not before two days of pure frustration. Can't they just call straight away? I'm exhausted 😢
Tried ChatGPT. Asked it a LabVIEW question and it promised answers. But it was wrong. It apologised and tried again. Four times. It's ok not to know something, but don't pretend your guesses are right! That's a dangerous narrative. Just say you don't know!
There's news of high probability that the whole of the UK will see aurora borealis tonight due to solar activity today. What are the best conditions for spotting it? Presumably total darkness (no light pollution) and a clear view of the northern horizon?
