Dealing with the Google Console is the most rage inducing thing. They have denied service to us for some small thing (our total billing is about $8 a month) telling us we need to add a billing account, but we can't add a billing account as we have reached our limit of billing accounts, so have to fill in a form explaining why we need a billing account quota increase. Give me strength to get through this afternoon

When there is an AI that can be a proper DJ, mix a selection of tracks from my favourite tracks and artists that exactly matches my mood based on how far through the martini I am, then I will believe that AI has a viable future.
Until that day it, AI, will be my low level assistant helping me with basic regex because many, many, years ago I put no effort into learning much more regex than next to nothing and now I feel smug that I have an assistant for that that does not judge me and I can even be slightly abusive of.
What's it called when you shouldn't end a sentence with a word like 'of' but you do it anyway?
Will go ask my assistant.

Since late 1996 we have spent a total of $636.94 at KFC. An average of $28.90 per order for 22 orders over 29 years or 1.3 purchases per year.
I have no comment on what that says about us or our choices compared to you or your choices.. It just a fact.
Big tech can suck a fat one because they for certain don't know that detail about us. Although Westpac does but I bet they couldn't get over themselves to do anything with that data. Big corps, huh?
