Financed cars in the UK are usually white.

I think that just repeats what we already knew?

If eating UPF, we as humans eat more and have less fibre and other good things in our diet. We don't know what the chemicals are likely to do, but my choice is I only have one life to live, so why risk it if I don't have to.

If I had Crones decease I  might have to eat more UPF.

Pringles are food, but never going to be the best food, as they are designed to stop you feeling full.

We all know this.  The chemicals are a side show.  Now we definitely need to know about the impact of the chemicals, to know if they should be used at all. But that's different. 

Am I wrong?

That very much ties up with my experience.

I already find I say: I want one of these what's the best, or the cheapest or the most efficient.

Then I will throw in:  and how does this one compare, what are the different features and the different benefits.

Then I check to see if the product works for me and if I can put up with the downsides.

AI is proving to be a great product research tool.

How a business manages that easily to change SEO massively.

You must be very interesting times in that space.

Interesting name choice! Probably only to me, but certainly unusual.

I guess it was a word not often used.

I start with www.which.net

Quote from: ergophobe on May 23, 2026, 08:50:18 PMWhy have Gemini create a QR code?

Why not? Its an easy part of the prompt. It can either do the job or not at all. Why can it not go to the code (website) and get it done.


If your prompt is by voice, then you just ask. The word is that AI is taking all sorts of jobs, inc accountants.  It seals well with data.

One of the reasons ai irritates me is the way it takes 2 or 3 sentences to say something that requires a 3-word answer.  If we have chatty ads, that's as much a nightmare as cuddling a snake.

Meanwhile, I seem to struggle to get Gemini to generate a QR code that works, and then not change it on the published page.
Worse than a bad intern at times.
