I find it hard to understand why a school shooting in America is news. It's not as if it's anything unusual. They do it on a regular basis. 

Anywhere else in the world that would be news but why do they report a shooting in the land that invented school shootings? And they said on the news that the gunman had an arsenal of weapons and ammunition. But that's the case with all these maniacs that go on a killing spree.

So why do the news people think it worth reporting? It's just a normal happening in America. It does not make sense.

This is an interesting take on the progress being made on AI. As this technology advances the ability to recognise it from 'the real thing' will become increasingly difficult. My partner is a tutor at a distance learning college and has plagiarism detecting software in her toolbox but AI generated content puts a whole different perspective on this issue.

Oh dear -  so now the ignorance is spreading to the arts. A parent complained that the naked statue of David is 'pornography.'

This is getting really pathetic now & given the inroads into women's rights which have been made there you really have to wonder if America isn't slipping back into far earlier times.

Our methane emissions cant be significant enough to be of concern!
But, hey lets tax the shit out of our evil farmers for destroying the planet.
Also its just emerged that a recent IPCC report has discovered that they have actually overestimated the impact of agricultural emissions, in other words, its not as "bad" as previously thought!

I have just purchased a new laptop (Windows 11) and have installed Outlook on it but there are no emails showing in the Inbox or anywhere else and I was wondering what I need to do to access my emails.

Thank you for your help.

Got slammed for trying to ban TikTok over security concerns and media were trying to say it was all a conspiracy  in much the same way as he said covid escaped from the Wuhan lab.
Now we have the Biden administration not only attempting to ban TikTok but also largely accepting the lab leak theory as plausible.
Go figure.

Has anybody at all had a satisfactory outcome from a visit to Courier Post's "Customer Service"  ( )  this year?

It certainly wasn't me.

Just installed two of them at home along with one for a customer earlier in the week.

The setup was quite painless, and of course the 1st thing it did was do a 737MB update.   it auto detected the Ethernet connection. AND me being not wanting a conventional install  Used an adapter / Joiner to join to the existing HDMI Cable ( previously connected the Vodafone Device) so the Pod didn't plug into the actual HDMI port on the TV (worked a treat)

These are the Sky Replacement for Vodafone TV.

Just a few things you need if anyone is getting them.

Setting up -- A Gmail account seems to be the easiest way as it will connected to your Phone and gives you access to Google Play Store.

• A Gmail account email address and password.
  

• TV 3 is there but you have to look for TV 1 & 2. One annoying thing so far, cant add some┬áprograms to Favourites, you can add certain parts but not all.
  

But no doubt it will still get the usual responses...
