The RNLI is the charity I care about. Not least because I kayak. When mum died last year, the RNLI was where the donations went.

The problem there is - how much of those 17,000 are migrants in the channel?

For me - the RNLI should be protecting us all. If, for example, 50% of RNLI funding - all charitable donations - is going to the south coast then that's distorting the purpose of the charity.

The government should be funding migrant boats out of general taxation. The RNLI should be focussing on protecting all of us - not being financially compromised by the south coast.

I'm fairly sure the RNLI already cooperate with tax-funded organisations to do what they do.

I guess the problem is that you can't really measure 'how many they missed' but I suspect they're doing a pretty good job.

I also quite like the idea of people at their absolute lowest being met with volunteers in bright orange clothing rather than blacked out government agents...

3% of RNLI callouts in 2022 were for migrant boats. 3%. This is a non-story. 290 out of over 9000 callouts that year.

RLNI have really good open access data so you can check claims about migrant boat numbers with actual rescues

ChatGPT has a long way to go yet

I gave it a Killer Sudoku to solve (like normal sudoku but with sums) and it initially cheated by trying to look the answer up online. Busted ! The solution doesn't exist online. It thought this was a normal sudoku and completely fucked it up.

I then gave it another. 20 minutes later its still processing. I'm no computer. I solved it in 10 minutes on the toilet. I'm looking forward to the bullshit excuses its going to come up with.

GPT's excuse

"The OCR didn’t extract any useful text from the puzzle image — likely due to the light font, complex layout, or low contrast of the cage markings and totals."

It took you 30 minutes to tell me that ?

The dog ate your homework ? Really ?

Probably costs about 500m and the video 500k?

Absolutely loving RDR2 on the PC. I just wish it took ultrawide photos. It's stunning in full widescreen, everything is just perfect.




Also, all the NPC's hate my pirate hat that I found.
