So this explains why resuming a session after a 5-hour timeout basically eats most of the next session. How then to avoid this?

As is the case in Australia. We personally pay around AU$2/day grid connect fee

Similarly, I started using Claude to add some features to an native app on iOS and Android in early January. That was so successful (tooks days instead of weeks) I started applying it to client work and basically haven't written any substantial code since. A big change from around 40 years of writing code pretty much every day and I'm enjoying the increased velocity from not having to web search for API and CSS syntax details.

My son, working in another dev company, reports the same - he basically hasn't written much actual code for about three months. It's a massive change.

Big trouble if AI and crypto aren't bubbles

I didn't see 'highlighting on wrong line', but double-click a word not selecting the word is annoying (Firefox on Windows11)

The term for slaughtering pigs around here is 'turning them off' - all attempts to disconnect from the reality of what is happening.

Māori were the first settlers of NZ. There’s no record of any earlier population being “dinner” for anyone.

Airbnb hosts are penalised if they cancel - they get downrated - so it's not something that hosts generally want to do. Far better if they can persuade a guest to cancel

we keep bread in the freezer. eggs are fine at room temperature for a few weeks if they have never been chilled.

It was one of my grandfather’s (WWII veteran) favourite foods, a taste acquired in his army days.

Thunderbird is great until you receive Teams invites. It removes/hides the links in the calendar entry so you need to keep the email in order to be able to click on the meeting link.

The BBC “repair shop” show recently (last year?) had an episode repairing a shattered vase with some specialist glass repair glue, so you can probably find some for this.

Attaching to the roof requires screwing fasteners through the metal in fairly arbitrary positions based on the underlying framing. It’s not going to be easy to have electric connections.
