    So I&amp;#39;ve a spam email address I use that isn&amp;#39;t my name or anything related to it. I use it to sign up to things I feel may be a bit spammy ... not that often ... I&amp;#39;ve just gone through 3000 emails .. the amount of emails some crowds send is insane! AI generated muck? Can anyone read all this crap? I&amp;#39;ve been signed up to onlyfans .. dating sites and god knows what else. Does opt in email subscriptions mean nothing to these people?

    The great thing about the invoice / receipt emails from Hertz ... the fact they aren&amp;#39;t for me and there&amp;#39;s no way to reply to the email to say hey this is the wrong person.

    News story about marathon runners helping out a struggling runner in Boston ... all I can think is ... isn&amp;#39;t that just the right thing to do? Not sure if there&amp;#39;s a huge bonus to finish with an amazing time. Of course yes 50 - 100 people passed by .. they might not have been in a place to be able to help (energy / strength) but anyways ... fair play and all that

    Had to give the Lumineers version of The Cure&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Just Like Heaven&amp;quot; a go ... Trying to learn the piano as well but this is just my vocals for now. Not a very complicated piano piece BUT at the limit of my ability for now and to sing at the same time is beyond me ... #music #cover #singing #TheCure #JustLikeHeaven

    OK I&amp;#39;m very confused ... https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2026/0401/1566196-cabinet-updates/ they are banning a bike? because someone was hit by a bike? Will they be banning all cars as well? 190 dead last year on the roads which I assume means cars. (Obviously I&amp;#39;m not understanding something here)

    Another day ... another AI image supplied ... I automatically check these days ... many of these people / groups don&amp;#39;t have a budget for an artist ... but you&amp;#39;d think they could try to get some of their members involved in creating something. It&amp;#39;s becoming more and more common place in all things .. until the arse falls out of it and it starts costing end user money and they decide oh we can&amp;#39;t actually afford a subscription

    Did everybody have that folder where you kept all the music you loved .. no particular order ... no file name convention just lots of random tracks ... just found a folder on an old dying disk and it is glorious! :D

    You add a constraint in some code ... but that was 10 years ago and there was a reason at the time except it was a date constraint and it&amp;#39;s 2026 now and that would never come about ... I swear there was a valid reason at the time ... guess we&amp;#39;ll add another 10 years to that .. ah ... it&amp;#39;s working again :D
