I was talking about the multi-coloured Christmas decorations of our childhood yesterday. In addition to these foil things, we also had multi-coloured tinsel hung around the edges of the ceiling and wrapped around anything hung on the wall (just like the clock in the image). Good times.

Fair point. This is a feature, not a bug. :)

There’s a legal challenge coming in Feb due to that fact that it is virtually impossible for rival candidates to get enough support to run for president.

I was rooting for this until I learned that challenge is coming from Bernie Ecclestone’s wife. Seems a bit suspect on the face of it.

This whole thing has got the whiff of money and influence.

I've got a Meta Quest 3. It's a great bit of hardware but the Meta ecosystem makes me actively not want to use it, eventhough a portion of my games are streamed via Steam VR.

So if the Steam Frame is comparable spec wise, I'll happily sell my Quest 3 to fund this purchase.

I'll be honest, at about the 70 minute mark I thought Wales were utterly cooked. Delighted for the win. I hope it gives the team some valuable experience, but woof! Lots to work on.

I've had good experiences buying 2nd hand laptops off ebay and putting linux on them. As long as the battery is in good condition, you can breath new life into old hardware for not a lot of money.

 

"There is no hiding or sugar coating. As a club, management, coaching staff and players we all recognise that results so far during this season have been well below expectations to say the least. We always envisaged this first season being very difficult, with the late takeover of the club, the resulting late recruitment and the sole focus of ensuring we just had a team on the ice. We expected highs and lows, but certainly not the level of frustrations we’re currently experiencing."

 

The boys are back to discuss the latest in the EIHL including:

  • Challenge Cup completion

  • Grumbles among the Fife/Dundee fanbase

  • Belfast struggles

Wales 28-52 Argentina: Los Pumas coast to seven try victory

[–] Tamps@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

I love the sense movement captured in this figurine.

 

“My hope for meaningful change to the governance of Welsh rugby has all but disappeared. My faith in the current leadership of the WRU has disintegrated. It’s quite clear now that the leadership of the WRU is not going to do anything radical (even if they use this word) or change the future structure to anything other than a smaller-scale version of what we already have.”

I’m not sure I agree with everything in this, but there is a niggling voice in the back of my head that the WRU isn’t going far enough and fast enough to truly improve the future of the game in Wales.

Ha! Bad consultancy is bad consultancy, regardless of whether it’s delivered by a person or AI. I’ve worked with some great consultants, but it’s very much the minority. So this feels like a natural commoditisation of the shitty consultancy model.

Perhaps the more worrying aspect, is at least there’s a finite number of shitty human consultants at any one time. AI would remove that constraint.

[–] Tamps@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep. I agree with this. Re-creating Reddit at the same scale just brings all the same problems. I like that federation means smaller more localised communities that can be connected (or not). I get that it’s not what everyone wants or is used to, and that’s okay.

[–] Tamps@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's a lot of politics at play and I think the WRU are trying to take an approach where they are seen to be working with the regions to bring about change. Or it might be to give less ammunition for a legal challenge. :D

I'm surprised they decided to only drop down to 3 regions and not 2. In some ways it seems fairer in terms of spreading the pain around, and would focus our resources in having (hopefully) two very good regions.
